The fellows doing check in were good and organised, and very professionally helped people who weren't booked in on our tour to find their group. We skipped the line in easily. Galya was knowledgeable and fun. She told us so many interesting facts and stories, and took lots of photos of us in front of David, and was very patient with our questions. I left my sun hat at security on the way in but didn't notice till near the end of the tour. Galya happily came with me and spoke to a guard and my hat and I were reunited. One of our group wandered off before giving back her radio thingy. Galya chased her down and retrieved it nicely. I highly recommend her and this tour.

It worked out wonderfully: we’d been standing in line before 12, but we got in right at 12; we still had to get a paper ticket there, but that went quickly too—a quick check at the security checkpoint, we were allowed to bring a drink with us, and just like that, we were inside. There were a lot of people, but it wasn’t overwhelming. I’m just surprised that so many people are interested in sacred art. They’d all have to know a lot more about it to really understand this kind of art. I think. Lui.

It was suggested from a friend when visiting Florence. She said it was the easiest way to get all the tickets to the museum. She was correct! I used the app to verify my ticket at the Accademia and head out sent me a PDF which I showed at the Uffizi Galleria and both processes were smooth.

We were looking for a company we could trust to buy tickets from, and we chose Headout—we made the right choice. The process was very easy, and the ticket price was very competitive. It’s an easy-to-use app for those of us over 60. We’ll keep using it on future trips!

By showing the Headout app, we got into Academia super fast. However, we first had to leave our luggage at the nearby Buch Café at No. 51, since bags and backpacks were strictly prohibited inside. Maybe Headout could mention that—it would have been less stressful. But everything else was fine. Once inside, you’re given “real” tickets to proceed further.

I am pleased. A manager escorted us for quick entry. Everything was clear and easy to understand. I recommend buying a combo ticket for the Uffizi and Pitti Palace (they are located very close to each other) and the Accademia.I recommend using the services of this site.Thank you.

According to the instructions we received, the representative met with us and we got our admission tickets. We didn't have to wait, and everything that was planned was carried out.
