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.

Muy fácil todo, desde retirar los tickets hasta entrar a la hora elegida. También me dieron acceso a una audioguía que explicaba los puntos claves para ver dentro del museo y que funcionó sin Internet. Fuimos en Mayo así que no había mucha gente esperando entrar, sin embargo había mucho calor por lo que el acceso preferencial valió la pena. Lo recomiendo!

Beim Eintritt gab es etwas Verspätung, aber der Besuch selber war sehr schön. Den David einmal sehen und die mittelalterlichen Gemälde waren sehr interessant. Alles in allem ein lohnender Beduch.

The museum visit with Headout was special because everything was smooth and easy. The entry process was quick, the experience was well organized, and we could enjoy the museum without any stress.

We went to Galleria Academia and Ufizzi yesterday. We were thrilled yo get both in during our short stay in Florence. For GA, we met our representative at the meeting point. He gave us a piece of paper with a QR code, that we could not read because of the small print and it was in Italian. As quickly as he appeared, told us to go there, he disappeared, no identifying indicator he was with Headout. We hoped it all good and not a scam. We were admitted, no problems and earlier than our time. The thing is, we have no ticket stub to show we were there. Also, the audio guide through Headout but rather at the museum for 6€ each. It was worth it though we expected more from the audio guide.

Very easy process, as long as you follow the pickup instructions. Don't just join the queue, first go to the small kiosk opposite no 58 (the entrance to the gallery) where they exchange your online booking into an actual ticket. After that, join the queue for your selected time. There are always 2 queues, eg for 10.00 and 10.15, if you are after that you cannot join the queue, but as we were 10.30, we waited near to the 10.00 line, when they were finished it moved on to 10.30 so we managed to join it immediately.

Save 30–60 mins with skip-the-line entry to the Accademia Gallery at your chosen time slot.

Admire Michelangelo’s David, the Hall of the Colossus, and other Renaissance masterpieces.

Explore Europe’s oldest art-school-turned-museum at your own pace with full-day access.

Enjoy the most budget-friendly way to experience Florence’s art scene hassle-free.

Upgrade with an audio guide or a digital guidebook or a guided tour for deeper insights and stories. Else, choose the option to enter the gallery at any time between 9am and 5pm.

Using my own earbuds and the downloaded narrative was very good and superior to live guide audio. However, the narrative was difficult to follow because it did not relate to the numbers on the paintings or statues that were associated with the audio guide purchased at The Academy and required searching rooms to find the art discussed. There is a floor plan on the app. It would have been helpful to have something to identify which room the art being discussed was in.

Our original tour to Florence and the Museum cancelled with only 12 hours notice. We were only in Florence for 2 days and were devastated when we found tickets to the Museum were sold out. We found your website and were able to order tickets. We followed directions to the meeting site, were escorted into the waiting line 15 minutes early and were so thrilled with our chance to view David's statue, among the other treasures. You made everything perfect!
