Highly recommended

Michelle_K, Jun 2026

The organizers werevery helpful and even let us to the best gelato in town while we waited. We skipped the line- which was so helpful in the heat- and got in quite quickly. Our docent, Thomas, within the museum, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and all in all made the experience a very memorable experience for my family.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that our team was helpful and that you enjoyed discovering some of Florence's best gelato while waiting. We're glad the skip-the-line entry helped make your visit more comfortable, especially in the summer heat. It's fantastic to know that Thomas made the tour memorable for your family with his knowledge and enthusiasm. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Florence again soon! Kind regards, The Tripzy Travel Team 🌟

A bit short for what it costs, but great anyway.

Mariana_C, Sep 2026

Although it is a very short visit, it is very enjoyable. There is a large part of the museum that is not covered with the guide. Anyway, Galya is great!
