This museum is a must see! Reservations are must. Easy to find in Florence near everything walking distance. Staff was excellent!

Having a fast track entry...

Having a fast track entry ticket is the best way to enter The Academia and see Michelangelo’s David. We enjoyed the self guided tour in the late afternoon.

A must

Shawn_K, May 2026

The Museum is amazing albeit very crowded. We paid for “skipping the line” but still had to wait in line BUT not as long as some - only 10/15 minutes. Again the museum and art totally worth it. The meet up was easy and the gentleman was helpful.

Very chaotic but it finally worked

Heather_H, May 2026

Lining up was very chaotic. We found the spot to meet and all 4 in my group were handed 4 different tickets with 4 different times of entry on them. We were told, “it’s fine” when asking about this and told to stand in the line. The line however, was a chaotic mess and was difficult to figure out which line to get in. It was quite ridiculous. A little more guidance would have e been helpful but the guys “working” had few words for anyone that asked. Once we figured out where to line up, the rest of it was fine and went smoothly.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback. Please note that entry ticket times and allocation procedures are managed directly by the Vatican authorities, and it is normal for group members to occasionally receive tickets with slightly different printed times while still entering together. Due to the very high number of visitors, the entrance area can sometimes be crowded and confusing, especially during peak hours and mandatory security checks. However, our staff provided the tickets and entry assistance as advertised, and we are glad to hear that once inside, your visit went smoothly.

Operator did not show

The tour operator did not show so we had to request a refund and get in the regular line anyway after waiting 25 minutes for them to show. The Viator website was great about requesting the refund for us though.
