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.

The guided tour itself was great and enjoyable, although it was packed in the gallery. The lead up was very confusing though as there were lots of tour guides and people at the meeting point and no one was holding signs saying who they were or which tour was which. We had to approach several people to work out where we were meant to be,then there was a really long wait in the heat for a load more people to turn up, so we were not quite the small group I had hoped for. Then there was another long wait in the so called skip the queue line. However the gallery experience was good despite the crowds and David is an absolutely amazing spectacle and it was great to have the guide explain everything in more detail than we would have learned on our own.

The meeting location was easy to locate. As itches an actual storefront for a real business, I was concerned that I was at the wrong place. Nope,, they handle gathering the tourists and the tour guides. We quickly departed for the short walk to the musuem. My party included child which meant a stop along the way to get the "special" ticket for the kiddo. In thus case, special Hyatt means free, as children in Italy, get into museums free. We had to show an id with birthdate for the ticket. Eady. Tour guide then took us to the correct line at the museum and departed. This all worked so much better than I feared. Sering the David in person without having to spend hours waiting in line or getting turned away was a highlight of our teip.

I liked that we met our guide near the gallery vs some obscure address we're unaware of. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared many tidbits with our group. Although the gallery was full of other groups, we were still able to get close to the art for a wonderful viewing. We'd highly recommend and will always use head out for future tours.

We recently participated in a guided tour of the Uffizi and Accademia Galleries. Our tour guide, Alex had a wealth of knowledge to share and she really brought the paintings alive for my two children. I will be recommending this tour to all my friends. Thank you, Alex for fantastic tour of the Uffizi gallery this morning!

While the crowd seemed chaotic when we walked down the street to meet our guide, it was extremely well organized and well run. We had a nice small group with an excellent guide. The tour was nicely done. Not too long, not too short. We could stay as long as we wanted after which was nice. All in all I'm glad we booked this!

Our tour guide was awesome! The tour focused on the statues of Michealangelo, and that's what was interesting to me. The museum also has rooms of busts, paintings, and musical instruments!
