This is my third booking with Viator during my trip to Italy. Each of them has been excellent and have gone without any problems. Today I visited Michelangelo‘s David and the local tour operator was very friendly and got me into the proper line and made everything go smoothly. I have used other tour companies for local tours, but this one has been the best!

Crowded but worth it.

Laura_E, Apr 2026
Bring your patience with you. Remarkable statues, instruments and art work. We enjoyed outlr tour a lot.

Very poor customer service

Robin_N, Apr 2026
We were really disappointed in the very poor customer service. It was recommended that we book parking ahead of time and 2 choices of garages were given. One was fully booked so we chose and paid in advance for the other one. We left our hotel a full hour before our meeting time so as not to have to rush. Unfortunately, the address given for parking had no garage there at all and after circling and consulting Waze and searching more and asking a policeman for help and directions, he informed us there was no parking garage at that address, but told us where we could get parking. We found the garage he told us about and paid again and I messaged our tour guide of the trouble we were having and that we were running late as a result, but coming. By the time we found the meeting place it was 15 min past our allotted meeting time. He tried calling us on WhatsApp but there was no voice on the call. When we arrived another very kind tour guide offered to call our guide to let him know we were there. He told us to stay put and went looking for him and when he returned very apologetically informed us our guide had left and would not be coming. He said he waited 10 minutes but then left. I asked when he might return and he said “Maybe Sunday”. This was Friday. I messaged our guide and asked he if could meet us Sunday or, if he could not, could he please refund our tickets. He informed us that we were late and he wouldn’t refund our tickets but he would meet us Sunday if we bought more tickets. At this point we were out well over 120 Euros for tour tickets for a tour we didn’t get to take and two parking payments, one for a garage we never found and a second at a spot where we had no other reason to be except to take a tour we couldn’t take. I fully accept responsibility that we were late. But we did inform our guide of the trouble we were having finding the parking garage they recommended and that we were there at the site and coming as quickly as we could. We were also willing to wait as long as necessary for him to come back and just give us our tickets so we could go in to the museum without a tour. He refused. I don’t recommend this company. There are several others and I would try those next time. This was really poor customer service in my opinion.

Satisfied

Paul_M, Dec 2025
Convenient, efficient, well organised. The entrance to the attraction was packed but the organised plan made for a very quick and efficient entry.

Not a guided tout

Laine_K, Nov 2025
We waited for a tour guy who showed up, gave us a pass to enter— we still waited in line—and an audio tour to download. That’s not exactly a guided tour.

Quick way to get tickets

Taylor_L, Oct 2025
My family and I were unable to secure tickets directly with the museum. Luckily, we found the tickets through Viator and were able to locate the guide for our tickets after a few minutes. Read carefully as you will merely need to locate the person by the number that they tell you to. For us, it was to meet at 45. After waiting for a few minutes, we were able to locate our guide and got our tickets quickly. When it was time, we were going to be sent through the line. My family and I got in through priority as we also had a handicap member with us so we did it differently. Either way, it was great to get the tickets and get through quickly as the lines were getting pretty long to enter.

David in Florence

Susan_P, Oct 2025
Wonderful to see the David Statue and the other magnificent artifacts in this museum. My only complaint was trying to find the representative in order to exchange our voucher for tickets. He was not very visible or easy to track down. Once we did find him, he was amazing! Got us our tickets and got us in early!

Florence museum advanced entry ticket

Donald_N, Oct 2025
This ticket saved us a significant amount of time getting in to see the statue of David and the Accademia during a time-crunched visit to Florence. The agent with the tickets was easy to find outside the museum and we quickly moved to the front of the line. Well worth the money.

Accademia timed tickets

Leonardo_S, Oct 2025
Easy to book and collecrlt tickets, seamless experience. I re comenf this compsny to people wanting to visit Accsdemia

Not a priority

Kristin_M, Oct 2025
The museum was amazing but there was no priority entrance. We had lined up not realizing we had to pick up the tickets. When we were told, the guy we picked the tickets from tried to lead us to the back of the line. Then seeing how much more expensive our tickets were compared to the door, it put a big damper on the whole thing.

Up charged.

Karen_S, Oct 2025
The upcharge was at 100%. Ridiculous. Still waited in line 45 minutes. Enjoyed the art work and the viewing of David. Very disappointed with the purchase. Original ticket cost was 20 Euros each, we paid $81 for 2.

The museum is amazing and...

Benjamin_O, Oct 2025
The museum is amazing and getting the skip the line tickets saved us a ton of a time There is the David

Fabulous Accademia

Marcia_M, Oct 2025
I was glad to purchase the priority access. I met up with the agent right away and he showed me where to access the line. Inside was mind blowing. So many beautiful pieces of art. And the best of was the statue of David. The true pinnacle of my visit to Florence. I’m booked for Uffizi but was disappointed that I can’t get The Vasari corridor.

The David

Marion_S, Oct 2025
This was originally cancelled due to strike prior to our arrival..a representative was kind enough to help us reschedule. We did not have long in the gallery as it closed 1.5 hours after we arrived. Be aware of strikes that can impact your ticket

A MUST SEE experience!!!!

Louis_D, Oct 2025
Definitely a must see stop in Florence! We were running a bit late but they made it work for us and got us right in. Fast track is ALWAYS the way to go!!! We waited maybe 3 minutes at max! We didn’t opt for any tour guide as one wasn’t necessarily needed if you took it upon yourself to do some reading and homework. The David is impressive all in itself and is definitely something you shouldn’t miss in this lifetime! Amazing experience! A must see!!!

Skip the line!

David_C, Sept 2025
Very quick and efficient entry into museum! Signed up at about noon for a 12:30 skip the line entry, went to the meeting point by 12:10, we were given tickets for entry and put immediately into line to enter…no wait at all! We walked right in with hundreds of people in line behind us…awesome!

Great!

Joanna_M, Sept 2025
Easy and worth it! All the tickets were sold out and this allowed us quick and easy entry to the museum

Must visit for artists / sculptors / painters

Yogesh_P, Sept 2025
The museums are good. Probably need to spend more time. The Viator service representative was prompt.

A feast for the eyes and soul.

Robert_L, Sept 2025
Loved every moment. Viewing history is a special experience. Seeing the Statue of David gave me goosebumps.

My Cher David

Beth_K, Sept 2025
The meeting point was found ok. The Guide had a good sign and helped us easily negotiate the huge crowds and lines. The amount of people was staggering. The statue of David was relatively easy to see. Overall this activity seems very over priced. It’s definitely great for sculpture lover sitter

Perfect

Adolfo_B, Sept 2025
It was a smooth experience. Yes, it is strange to meet someone in the middle of the street, but he was kind and have a Viator badge. The tickets were exactly what we had ordered. Thanks for the staff, as we had a pouring rain by the time of ticket collection, as he was right in the meeting point !

Very clear instructions

Gregory_R, Aug 2025
Directions seem difficult but if you use Google maps it is very easy. Everything occurred without any problems and it was simple to navigate.

A Quick Way In

Brianna_F, Jul 2025
This is so tickets only to skip the line. While no map of the museum given, there are signs to help you find the David Statue. Take time to see the unfinished sculptures to really appreciate the completed David.

David up close!

Roger_M, Jun 2025
This skip the line was perfect on a rainy day. Reasonably easy to find agent and the in app messaging helped. The ticket did not include a guide, which was completely fine for the price we paid and the convenience offered.

Very easy

Kelly_D, Jun 2025
Great way to see the museum when direct tickets were sold out. Very easy to pick up tickets and we got right in.

Perfect for skip the line

Marni_M, Jun 2025
Perfect for skip the line. It was very busy and hot outside. We arrrived 15 minutes before our scheduled time and walked in right away.
