Discover the best things to do in Florence

Arriving at the Palazzo Vecchio Tower, the staff were friendly and our PDF tickets on my phone from headout were quickly acknowledged and scanned. Getting the tickets in advance and avoiding lining up was very convenient. The tickets arrived in my email account about two hours after making a online purchase, with all the informaton I required. The tower was wonderful and as the number of people are limited we had the place to ourselves. Great views and easier to climb than the Duomo di Firenze.

The ticketing experience worked out just fine, the only negative point I would like to mention is that on the day of the visit to the Cathedral we had to wait for more than 1 hour on the line along with dozens of other people, all of us under heavy heat, even though we had booked a guided tour! It was not pleasant! I must say however that our tour guide, Rosa, was extremely nice and made every efforts to overcome the situation but it was a matter of internal organization at the Cathedral. As a suggestion, they shoul be more careful with the booking of the slots to avoid these situations, particularly when major crowds are expected.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helped us to appreciate the art and history related to Florence. We definitely recommend!

You cannot go to Florence and not see David! The tour guide arranged our entry quickly, bringing us from the meeting point, a short walk from the Accademia, straight into the entrance. The quick entry was worth the price, this visit isn't cheap though!! There are some wonderful pieces here, so take your time to explore, rather than head straight for David. And when you turn into the gallery to see him, perfectly positioned in great natural light, it does take your breath away. Also, walking all around him to get the full effect, you will admire Michelangelo's attention to detail, something I never fully appreciated from photos previously. Thus can be a short visit, but definitely worth it!!

We visited the Uffizi Gallery late in the afternoon so it wasn't very crowded. The exhibits there are exquisite, no doubt it is one of the world's greatest collections. People with reduced mobility should be made aware, they will need to request access by lift to the top floor, as there are several magnificent flights of stairs to get there! But once you do, it's amazing! Not only the artwork, the building itself is stunning, beautifully maintained and the views out over the city are also worth seeing! Fantastic value for money too.

Considerate, intellectually, satisfying, illuminating, excellent teacher guide we felt enlightened and well taken care of

Angela was amazing. She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about her subject and we learned so much from her. I would do a tour with Angela again definitely.
