I really liked that the routes opened up our horizon to different places we never even thought of visiting. It was accessible and employees were very nice and history was very interesting, but sometimes it started too early before we got to see the view it was talking about. Also had issues with the app where it shows when the buss will arrive at the specific station but it never matched nor it gave accurate time as to when it will come. Once it did not come at all and the app did not have that information. Overall good experience

Both sites are a MUST in Florence. Purchasing a combo makes it easy and a bit more cost effective. David is even more impressive in person than any photos you have seen. I went crazy for all the marble with stone accents at the Ufizzi; it also has many famous paintings. And you can take all the time you want to inspect each one. I would return for several more hours.

This 3-day ticket to explore all the monuments in the Piazza del Duomo is really great. Depending on the heat and the queues, you may not be able to go up to the Bell tower and the capulla della cathedral next, as there are a lot of stairs and it's very hot in the passageways. So take your time and go several times.

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!

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.
