I was a little nervous about this process initially but read the reviews and trusted their system works. Happy to share, It does, beautifully. Hardest but not 'hard' challenge was locating the ticket office but when we did a very nice woman (whose name I cannot recall - blonde formerly from Russia) was lovely and assisted us with a guided entry to the museum. David was great and worth a visit. Note: Avoid the bathroom facilities , they smelled horrible and I mean the worst I've ever experienced in my life bad.

Well done to them and although we were late they sorted it all out for us .....Thankyou guys ! Didn't wait long in queue and David was well worth all the worry !! 😍

We had booked tickets online with only one person to help us pick up our tickets and direct us to the right place. The booking site is very easy to use. The meeting point was very well indicated. The person who took care of us was available and courteous. As for the self-guided tour, it filled us with wonder and emotion. Everything was perfect...thank you

    Waiting time at the reception is comfortable and air-conditioned. The local guide explains very well (Renata) and solves any doubts.

    Seeing the statue of David in person was amazing. We really loved seeing Michelangelo's unfinished statues as it helped us gain an understanding of his process. A video on gilded wooden panels was really interesting too. A stunningly finely embroidered tapestry was another favourite too. Had issues with both the Headout app & email on the day. I was able to access the app and tickets the night before but at the meeting pint neither the app or 'show tickets' tab in the email would open. Very weird. I had no trouble with any other travel apps on my phone so it wasn't an Internet access issue. Also, I had booked for 9:30am session but the 2 tickets the host gave us were forv8:55-9am & 9-9:15am. Fortunately we stayed as long as we like in the gallery so all ended well.

    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!!

    Everything about the museum was amazing, I'm glad we did not skip it during our trip. The room of geographical maps was my favorite exhibit.
