A very nice intermediarry person who gave us the tickets. The description of pick up place was very clear. She was perfect on time. She helped us with the installation of the audio guide. The only reason for the loss of 1 star was the quality of the audio guide. That wasn't the best quality. But overall a really Good experience

The tour guide was excellent. He guided us through Palazzo Vecchio and explained everything we needed to know. He was very friendly, approachable, and cheerful throughout the tour.

It was great. We could download the audio guides in advance and have them on our phones without having to rely on a network connection in an old building with thick walls.

We booked tickets for the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. It was a real pleasure from the moment we bought the tickets—the ease of access, the kindness of our guide Andrea, and his explanations and organization of the entire tour. Well done! 👏 Thank you so much! Best regards

The quick and hassle-free entry and the informative German audio guide made booking through Headout well worth it (not to mention the clear directions to where the tickets were picked up, and the handover and explanation provided by the woman who gave us the tickets!)
