    Fantastic place with loads of great art. Extremely crowded but that was not surprising really. Was easy using headout. Guy with tickets was easy to find and it did mean we could head straight in with just a brief security check. Michaelangelo's David is fantastic and so glad I've seen the real thing.

    Most impressive was the fact that with all the tourists there that day we were still able to get in an hour earlier than our tickets stated. We were impressed how well the crowds moved throughout the museum. We were able to see everything and it was tremendous, as anticipated.The The staff, when asked questions in English, were always accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable

    David was the main attraction we wanted to see. It was very touristy as all of Florence is & very confusing to get in by ourselves. purchasing the guided tour made it very easy as they acquired our tickets for us, led us with a group inside, and made the process simple. We did lose the group inside as it was a bit chaotic withthe amount of people at the museums first room & we roamerd around by ourselves after the security checkpoint. Well worth the price for the convenience over the non-reservation line.

    Loved being able to walk into the museum w/o a long wait. It was great to see David in person, and I really enjoyed the exhibit of the Musical Instruments.

    My absolute favorite stop of my trip. Even though I have been before David still brings me to tears. Aside from David the museum has so many incredible pieces that are truly an honor in person. A trip to Florence is not complete without visiting la Galleria dell'Accademia.
