Yesterday

It was almost excellent. We had no issues with the tickets for the Uffizi Gallery because we received them by email, but since I didn't have the ones for the Accademia Gallery, I had to argue with the ticket controllers because they claimed I didn't have combo tickets. After 5 minutes, they sent me about 150 meters away to a shop where a lady finally gave us physical tickets. The whole ordeal wasted about 20 minutes of my time and a lot of nerves. If we bought them online anyway, I should have been able to see the tickets in the app. Good thing it ended well, but it was still unpleasant.

Exceptional line control personell. I'm 81 and a wonderfull young man used my phone to find my reservation. This was my last time seeing David and I have seen him 10 times since 1975. That being said, your new system of ticket management is abhorent. 40+ disconnected failed times to get Ufizzi reservations before I left the USA has embittered me against Florence, which was my favorite city in the world. I tried 3 times in Florence to get the 3 sites pass. No help and one lady at the pitti was rude.Without seeing the Ufizzi, Florence has devolves into a swarm of ants. It has lost all its charm. Its all about money and control. Much of Italy is devolving the same way. I know what your arguements against my anger would sound like, but there is absolutely NO excuse for the stupidity of your design. You have bitten the hand that feeds you and you don't REALLY care. Dante was correct in placing many Florentines in the 8th circle of the Inferno. I will never again see Florence and my heart is broken. My only solice is there is not much left to experience. 2 days at most for anyone. TOO many ants. Worse than Time Square NY. Stop worring about money. It will come. Worry about charm...

The tour guide was truly amazing! I think her name was Laura, and she explained every piece in detail. Some information I even forgot about from my studies. She answered all my questions and honestly I loved her energy. I was running about 5 minutes late and thankfully they waited for me and made sure I got to our meeting point safe and sound. I was worried about the long line when I got there but since I had a tour guide we got through the line pretty quick, roughly 10-15 minutes. The Accademia Musuem was just utterly beautiful and mesmorizing, and we actually got through the museum very quickly (not in a bad way). This museum is small but you can stay in here forever. The David statue is stunning in person, and the detail you see absolutely incredible! And not even just David, but the other unfished work from Michaelangelo is so fascinating. Seeing the painting styles that changed over time was beautiful as well. For your first time I would defintely recommend a tour guide with the audio tour, because it can get pretty loud if going in the afternoon. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would do it again.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience booking skip-the-line tickets for the Accademia Gallery in Florence through Headout! The entire process was seamless, from booking to entry. The instructions on the app were clear and accurate, and the local tour partner was exactly where the app said he would be. He promptly handed us our physical tickets, and our group received priority entrance without a lengthy wait. Everything went exactly as promised, with no confusion, unnecessary waiting, or last-minute stress. A huge shout-out to Headout and their local partner for delivering such a smooth and hassle-free experience! The skip-the-line benefit genuinely worked, and the excellent coordination made visiting such a popular attraction so much easier. It’s refreshing to use a platform that truly delivers on its promises. I’ll definitely use Headout for future travels and happily recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable way to book attractions. Thank you, Headout, for making our Florence visit even more memorable! ❤️

The agent near the museum who assisted us (Brian) was very helpful. Once we found him amidst the crowd near the museum, he informed us where we should hang out until he came to get us for our timed entry. We arrived early so he got us into a time slot 15 minutes ahead of our scheduled one. We also appreciated the woman at the office where we picked up our tickets since she let us wait inside (even though the office was closed for its lunch hour) and then completed our paperwork early as well. Best of all was seeing the magnificent works by Michelangelo as well as the historic musical instruments since the latter weren't part of the Academia's collection the last time we visited Florence. Finally, we learned a great deal from a guide about another Florentine sculpture whose impressive works filled another gallery. All and all we had an excellent visit and our advance entry tickets purchased through Headout made everything work out very well.

This was our first time using Headout and we wouldn't hesitate using them again. Accademia tickets were sold out so we purchased through Headout. We quickly received a confirmation email and instructions on how to get our tickets. Once in Florence, the directions provided were clear and very easy to follow. They provided an audio guide that worked well! It was a very good experience!

If you did not plan a month in advance to see David, then this is the solution. They meet you near the entrance line. They walk you to the entrance line, based on your timed entrance. They offer software to download to listen to the museum audio info. They charge for the service. If it is last week decision to see David, this or similar is you best or only option. Enjoy.

The tour was delayed due to the museum running behind. The tour guide was AMAZING in educating the group about the artist and the works, as well as some local history. Several people in the group had to return to their tour groups for early departure. The guide made sure to hit the major pieces first so we wouldn't miss out. It was so appreciated!!

The instructions were clear to find the starting location for our skip the line admission. Communication once we got there could have been better as I had to ask a lot of questions about what was going to happen next. Overall, it was fine, we did get in faster and had access to an audio guide for the museum.
