Seeing the David in person exceeded my expectations. it's beautifully made and breathtaking. i also really enjoyed the room with all the busts and learning how those are made. i booked without a tour guide, but if you love history, I think it's for sure worth it!

I had a great experience purchasing my tickets through this company. The booking process was quick, straightforward, and hassle-free. The tickets were delivered promptly, and everything worked perfectly at the entrance to the Galleria dell’Accademia.

I didn't get her name but the young woman who greeted us was full of smiles and cheer. She moved our time up so we could enter a little earlier and we got in quickly. The line was very long when we got out so we were extra grateful.

It was very convenient to be sure of getting a ticket and to take a guided tour of a few highlights in a small group. The meeting point was clearly marked.

We met the tour guide on time in Florence and she got us through the line into the Accademia in a timely fashion. Alissa was extremely knowledgeable about the art and culture in the museum. She spoke great English and was easy to understand. We enjoyed our time with her. The tour was about an hour, focusing on the statue of David by Michaelangelo and other paintings. Exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend this service. It was easy to book the tour on line and the price was reasonable.

The tour guide was open to answering questions. He was very engaging and knowledgeable about the biography of Michelangelo and the impact of his art-painter and sculptor. The headphones made it easy to understand and hear with a group of 19. They called me when I didn't arrive ten minutes before the time. When I told them that my train was delayed, they were very accommodating and switched me to a later time so that we wouldn't miss it which I was grateful for. Highly recommend.

We had a problem following Headout's instructions which told us to go to a "meeting point" by the ticket office. With our other Headout trip we did meet a person who gave us a voucher. But here we needed to go into the ticket office and they gave us tickets. We wasted time and edgier going up and down looking for a representatives. Once we had our tickets we went into the Accademia straight away in our time slot. The museum is full of art treasures, but smaller than the Uffizzi and we spent an hour and a half there.

First of all, the priority tickets saves us a lot of time, however, inside the Gallery we have to go to the line to change the virtual tickets to a fisical ones. The organization for the entry is perfect, several lines each one with the booking hours to the entry be made on time and with order. The gallery is very compact, every single division have a lots of information that make the visit a little bit harder to see and appreciate everything. But in overall was a delightly experiece.

This combination of three experiences is well worth exploring: the 360° view from the top of the Duomo is exceptional—offering a stunning panorama of Florence; the Accademia Gallery isn’t very well organized for visitors and isn’t the most interesting; and the Uffizi Gallery is magnificent! The only significant downside is that the audio guides don’t always work properly (internet access can be spotty inside the buildings), and the commentary is too general!

We went during one of the first time slots, and it was very peaceful walking through the Accademia. The original David truly has a special magic; even though it’s located lower than where it was originally intended to be, it exudes a unique energy. Because it’s closer to the visitors, you can observe every detail, which makes it seem even more perfect. The Accademia has a larger collection that’s definitely worth a visit!
