It was great to have the tickets to see all of the sights electronically. As we had booked the tour for our first full day in Florence it was great to hear the history of the cathedral, Florence and the Medici family. It helped us to decide on other places to see and linked some of the treasures we say in the museums. Anastasia, our guide, was so passionate and enthusiastic we couldn't help but feel the same about the beautiful city of Florence. Her knowledge was incredible. Highly recommended.

I booked this tour on a whim because the time slot fit perfectly with my itinerary during my day trip in Florence. Best decision I ever made! Although I booked the tour solo, I met a lot of friendly people. The tour was small - only 10 people. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and explained the history behind the paintings and statues in the Academia Museum and the layout of the cathedrals. Since we had some extra time, we got to briefly tour other sacred sites that were originally not part of the itinerary, which was an excellent way to utilize our time. I can tell you that the highlight of this tour was climbing the Duomo and seeing a bird's eye view of Florence. Trust me, I was a bit nervous about the actual climb and how many steps there would be (463 steps), but rest assured there are multiple areas within the climb where you can stop to take a breather. The view of Florence from above was priceless! I would recommend this tour to anyone who has flexibility during their day trip (or few days) in Florence!

Everything went very smoothly and we didn't have to wait in line. The entrance was very well organized. We hadn't taken a guided tour or an audio guide, but the visit went very smoothly. It's crowded for sure, but you can still wander around easily, and access all the works without difficulty.

Santa Croce is really worth seeing. The entrance with the ticket went smoothly, as did the collection of the audio guide we had booked. The audio guide was great. Very easy to use and absolutely informative. You can set your own pace and order and always choose the relevant information. Well done, we had a great morning.

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.
