The spot you go go is very nearby. Just read the instructions on your ticket. It was crowded but no long line, and we were even able to get in early bc we arrived early.

Great museum but rubbish/unclear pickup process

Joe_S, Jul 2026
Random and unclear pickup instructions (basically trying to find a plain-clothed guy in the middle of the street for the handover of tickets) and pricing much more expensive than the entry price of the museum on the door. It felt like a bit of a rip-off tbh and all quite unofficial and shady.

Museum was great

Anne_Z, Jul 2026
We enjoyed the museum and the statue of David is magnificent. We did not realise the audio tour was on our phone. We had spent all day touring do by the time we got here our phones had very little power left.

Ok experience

Anne_A, Jun 2026
The museum is very cool and the price was OK. 2 things you need to know: Bring your own ear buds. Ypu are also required to download an app which could cause issues.. audio not required youcan read the plaques in the museum

Nope

Stephen_S, Jun 2026
Museum was great, but the booking agent texted us day before. Stated it was “super busy” and that we had to move our reservation 4 hours later. With no appreciation for our time or schedule. Viator refused to refund, even partially. Great museum to visit, just do not book through Viator.

Good. Skipped the line

Brent_L, Jun 2026
Good. Tickets were easy to find and easy to get in. We were a little late and the guide waited for us and made sure we got in

Make sure to show up...

Kara_E, May 2026
Make sure to show up early. The line can get really long. When we arrived they moved our ticket up 15 minutes earlier which was nice.

Better than expected

Okay tour of the museum with David taking the top spot

Kaushik_R, May 2026
Tour was overall okay as it’s a self conducted tour, we were party of four and were provided tickets with two time slots which caused a lot of confusion around which line to stand as there is a always a big queue at the gates split against time printed on tickets. Operator could give us all in the booked time slot instead of splitting. Regarding the museum station of David is great but rest of the items are not that great as compared to David.

We Skipped The Line

Peggy_D, Apr 2026
The only reason to purchase these tickets is to be able to skip the lline, which is why we bought them. However, the address was wrong for the meeting point and the map was wrong. It was confusing and annoying, especially with limited cell phone and Wi-Fi in the area. Even the workers at the Academia said it was confusing and misleading. Finally, in the notes section we were able to identify another address where we were advised to look for a blue flag. When we arrived at the address, no one was holding a blue flag. It all seems trivial, but it wasted 30 minutes of our time and since this is the only service they provided, it is all I have to rate them on. Other than that, they acknowledged the error on the listing and will hopefully correct it.

We were able to go early...

Dawn_S, Mar 2026
We were able to go early and see David easily. It was a little confusing about where to meet the tour rep. Two locations were mentioned on the ticket.

Worth it!

AmandaJayne_V, Mar 2026
Easy to access the tickets - we were early and they accommodated our timing. Definitely enjoyed it!!

A MUST for Florence.

Bev_F, Feb 2026
Loved the ease of booking a ticket for entrance. The company is located very near the Accademia and they were a life saver for a tour we booked that got canceled. My highlight (of course) was David.

Wonderful experience! ...

Debbie_M, Nov 2025
Wonderful experience! Very helpful and knowledgeable. We arrived early so the girls where check in, let us go ahead and start!

Delays on this day

Stephen_K, Oct 2025
Something something was causing the waves this day, and the lines were poorly organized but we still got in without too long of the delay and certainly was worth it. I asked for an earlier time slot, which they accommodated without any problem

Helped a little but still...

Courtney_G, Oct 2025
Helped a little but still a long line and a bit of a wait with these tickets. People in the ticket office to pick them up were nice though.

Viator the ticket people are ripping people off

Heather_W, Oct 2025
Viator is a rip off. We’re paid 60 euros to the money grabbing people when the cost on the door was 16 euros each

Quick entrance.

Emily_K, Oct 2025
We still had to wait a bit, but overall, it was a speedy entrance! We needed to be at the pickup spot 15 mins early and then waited 20 mins past our entry time to get in.

Museum was awesome....

Linda_L, Oct 2025
Museum was awesome. Ticket said guided tour and skip the line, actually was self guided with no skipping the line but we preferred self tour

to get the actual tickt...

Kathleen_T, Sep 2025
to get the actual tickt it gain entrance we had to take the voucher, aleged ticket to a spot a few blocks away. no where in the paper work were we told to do this. it would have helped if this part was in the directions with an address of where to go.

Good option if you can’t get tickets through the museum website

Mandy_V, Sep 2025
Pick up location was very confusing to find and when we arrived it was closed, though she came back very quickly. Not really skip the line as you still go get in your timed ticket line with everyone else. This is a great option if you wait too late and can’t get tickets through the museum website.

Good way to skip the long line to get in.

Mark_J, Sep 2025
This is a good way to skip the long line to get in. We arrived 15 minutes before our entry time and were let in on time. Great museum that is not to big that so you can really see everything in it.

Good but!

Richard_W, Aug 2025
It’s great to only be in a short line. Where they could improve is to not require you walk a couple of blocks away to exchange your voucher for tickets no more than 15 minutes before your reservation then have to walk back to the Museum.

There is no where that...

Robin_J, Jul 2025
There is no where that told us who to look for. This whole experience with viator has been a nightmare. However,the tourguide was wonderful and most accomodating.

Everything ok

Aleksandar_C, Jul 2025
Everything went smooth and as promised, I recommend this vendor. We had no problems at all, total waiting time was 5 minutes.

Awesome!

Marilyn_H, Jul 2025
Amazing! We are a family of 10 that was running late coming from the port. The agent we booked with bent over backward to accommodate us. Couldn't have been happier!!

Frustration

Jay_S, Jul 2025
Ordered tickets on phone, provided with meeting site...wrong site and took at least 45 minutes to get results. We were told of another site but that was not correct. It was 95 degrees (f). Alternate site was on tickets which we could not access on our phone. I made numerous calls afterwards explaining the situation which was not accurately documented each time...note I had thought I paid for a guided tour which I had not but emphasized the ticket issue. After several calls and finally a written explanation, a small refund was given...it should not have been so difficult and frustrating

True skip the line!

ktzolis, Jul 2025
Picked up tickets at 1515 and was in gallery by 1530. No probs locating ticket pick up at all. There is literally a link on your reservation to open in maps.

So easy to pick up the...

Xochitl_M, Jul 2025
So easy to pick up the tickets. Waited no more than five minutes to get in. I definitely recommend purchasing your tickets in advance.

Michelangelo's David is a MUST

rdpirazzini, Jun 2025
David is a MUST see! However, it can be really difficult to get in to see him, especially in the summertime. Thanks to Viator, we were able to get in and skip the line. I highly recommend it.
