Hello, we had no wait although there was a queue at the counter. Someone was waiting for us outside. It was perfect. We had taken the audio-guide option, and the person waiting for us downloaded the tour on our phones. It was very practical, but unlike audio-guides with a number at the entrance to each room, the text was at the end and it was up to us to pause it as we moved around and before arriving in the next room to take advantage of the explanation at the right moment. We managed with just one laptop. Thank you for your help.

Palazzo Vecchio is a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours or more. Such a beautiful building, full of history and art. Our tour host, Laila, got us off to a great start showing us how to access the audio guide (which was invaluable) and where to begin our tour.

    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.

    Very pleasant contact ! Very attentive ! Good experience ! Not dissatisfaction but suggestion for improvement that they comply with the exact meeting point ! If they indicate it in the instructions, it should be the exact point they indicate! We had to call to realize that they were behind the fountain and not at the red point!
