The museum was amazing. The audio tour was a bit confusing as it did not tell about every room and skipped from display to display. That being said the information on the audio was very informative.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks for the review
We are sorry to hear about your audio experince our IT team is working on it
Karen_S, Jun 2026
The ticketing was easy, although don’t forget the aviator ticket is not the actual ticket and we had lots of problems with the audio hide. Use one from the Uffizi instead.

We booked mainly to skip the queue. Very busy but plenty of great Art and history. We added the digital guide from Viator which didn't work at all.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks for the kind review
Your feedback really matters alot
Caroline_G, May 2026
No advantage that I can see to book here unless admittance is sold out on Uffici site. The audio guide is app based and very incomplete and not up to date.

we really apologise for this
Clive_A, May 2026
I am sure the chances of getting in without a ticket bought in advance are slim to none however the ticket should be renamed 'advance' ticket not skip the queue. Massive queue taking ages until you actually get in. You are then faced with a very busy gallery with further queues to see some exhibits. Also faced with lots of people more concerned about their social media channels etc getting the perfect video/pics etc i.e. obvious to others and just standing in the way. Yes some lovely works of art but overall felt disappointed. If you like to stand around in queues then highly recommended.

thanks for your review and kind feedback
Carol_P, May 2026
The gallery was fine but instructions on the audio guide were not clear. I got over there in the line and asked about the audio guide and they told me they had no wifi to be able to download the guide so I had to rent one there which was an extra 6 Euro.
Response from Host, May 2026
thanks for your feedback out IT team is working on it
Pascal_P, May 2026
I paid viatior for an audio guide I had to pay again to get one. Too many people in the museum... at moment you see more phones taking pictures than the pictures. Tourismn s killing this city
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks for feedback

We raally apologise for this
Peter_Y, May 2026
Highly recommend see the rich culture of the Renaissance. So many collections of the paintings and sculptures of the famous artists.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thabks for your feedback
stuart_r, May 2026
I was not provided with adequate information regarding: ticket pick-up. Only upon chatting with Viator did I receive such information. Viator representative was not readily visible at site. As a result, I had to purchase tickets again at a cost of 50 Euros. One hour after my appointed time, I received a man email from Viator with directions and attached tickets. Once again, the only information sent to me prior to appointed time was a voucher with no tickets attached nor clear directions as to where Viator representative would be. Very frustrated and disappointed, especially as all other tours booked with Viator were wonderful!
Response from Host, May 2026
we are so sorry
Xhulio_G, Apr 2026
The experience was great. The company where I bought the ticket was very helpful. I booked a wrong date and they helped me to reschedule the date in a couple of minutes. Highly suggested to buy tickets.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for the kind words and the high recommendation! We understand that travel plans can change in the blink of an eye, and we’re thrilled we could resolve the date issue for you so quickly.
It’s our goal to make the booking process as stress-free as possible so you can focus on the masterpieces in the Uffizi. We’re glad you had a great experience and hope to see you again in Florence!
Leticia_B, Apr 2026
The audio was difficult to follow so we wasted quite a bit of time figuring it out. It would be helpful for audio to match the layout of the gallery.
Kathy_K, Apr 2026
Arrive early, book early look for the door numbers on the building across street to meet your tour organizer and get your headphones.
Great experience
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Kathy,
Thank you for the great review and for sharing those pro-tips!
We really appreciate you highlighting the importance of arriving early and looking for the specific door numbers across the street. Navigating the area around the Uffizi can be busy, and your advice will be incredibly helpful for future travelers looking for a smooth start to their tour.
We are so glad you had a great experience exploring the history and masterpieces within the gallery!
Best regards,
JodiTveit_M, Apr 2026
Buying these tickets really helped the experience, the wait in the security line was minimal. So much to see but we enjoyed every minute.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hi Jodi, thank you so much for the kind words! We are thrilled to hear that the tickets helped make your visit to the Uffizi Gallery a smooth one. You’re right—the collection is massive, and we're so glad you were able to spend your time enjoying the art rather than waiting in line. We hope the rest of your stay in Florence is just as wonderful!
Mary_B, Mar 2026
Most horrible experience ever not supported never got tickets original booking got canceled due to some error in the chat is just canned messages
Response from Host, Mar 2026
We are very sorry for the frustration you experienced. We want to clarify that your valid tickets and entry instructions were sent directly to your WhatsApp and Viator chat prior to your scheduled time.
Our team monitors these channels to provide real-time assistance, and we regret if there was a misunderstanding regarding the messages received. Please reach out to us via your booking so we can review the communication logs and address this with you directly.
Lisa_D, Mar 2026
Very misleading for the money. We did not have an audio guide. Please read all the information before paying the money for this offering. Usually we have very good experience with Viator.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi there, we appreciate the honest feedback. We're genuinely sorry for the confusion regarding the audio guide.
Because we want our guests to be prepared, we shared the guide and all necessary instructions through your WhatsApp and Viator messages. It’s possible these notifications were missed during your travels. We value your patronage and would love the chance to make this right. please feel free to reach out to us directly
Luisa_D, Mar 2026
To get to the top floor the 4 flights of stairs can be tough. There is an elevator. The views from the top floor are beutiful. Absolutely packed with art. Take your time. Audio tours are really helpful.
James_D, Mar 2026
I could not download the tickets in the app. I kept getting sent in a circle— app to email to app to email. The download to my wallet was just a voucher, not a ticket. Finally found tickets in original email. I never did figure out the audio guide. It wasn’t use of the museum’s audio guide.
The museum was pretty cool, though.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi James, thank you for the feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the museum, but we are truly sorry for the frustration with the ticket loop and the audio guide. We aim for a seamless digital experience, and it sounds like our delivery system missed the mark for you. We are currently reviewing our instructions to ensure the distinction between the voucher and the entry ticket—and the setup for our custom audio guide—is crystal clear. We appreciate your patience and hope the Renaissance masterpieces made the effort worth it!
Kathleen_D, Feb 2026
Fantastic!!! This was so worth it, glad I had the Audio. Worth every penny. Saw list of masterpieces.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that the audio guide helped bring the Uffizi’s masterpieces to life for you. It really does make a difference when navigating such a world-class collection.
Knowing it was "worth every penny" is the best feedback we could ask for. We hope the rest of your time in Florence is just as fantastic!
Justine_B, Jan 2026
Again ripped off by Viator as no audio was given with tickets supplied and again over priced plus Lloyd of paintings replicated
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that there was some confusion regarding the audio guide. We would like to clarify that the audio guide was sent to you via the Viator chat on the same day at 10:20 AM.
We always aim to ensure our guests receive all the necessary information for a smooth experience, and we regret if this was overlooked or caused any inconvenience. Your feedback is important to us, and we will continue to improve our communication to avoid similar situations in the future.

No one came to pass tickets to us as it was promised in Viator letters. We waited almost an hour near Giotto's statue as was prescribed but in vain. We contacted our operator via the app a few times and didn't get any response. It was just unbelievable. We didn't get any tickets and we want a full refund.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience, but we’d like to clarify that our representative was present at the meeting point near Giotto’s Statue continuously from the morning until noon, assisting guests and distributing tickets as scheduled.
It’s possible that there was some misunderstanding or difficulty in locating each other in the busy square. For future reference, our team is always reachable via the emergency phone number provided in your Viator voucher to ensure immediate assistance on-site.
We truly regret the inconvenience you experienced and would be happy to review your case further — please contact us directly with your booking details so we can investigate and assist you accordingly.
Brianna_H, Nov 2025
My tour operator never showed up to the agreed meeting point to give me the tickets. This caused me to not be able to do this activity and ruined my plans
Response from Host, Nov 2025
hi.
on 2nd november there is the free entry in the uffizi gallery thats why there was no body there to give you the tickets
Andrea_S, Oct 2025
The Viator Guide did not have anything to let us know he was our meeting point. A guide from another Tour Operator actually pointed him out to us so we then knew where to go - otherwise we would have missed getting our ticket from him and our entrance. Usually Guides have a paddle or Viator Flag on a long stick they can hold up for everyone to see (near &. far)...other than that everything went smoothly and we got in on time and enjoyed the museum.
Malcolm_C, Oct 2025
Despite “skip the lines” claim, we waited in line half an hour, just to get to the security checkpoint. Our guide was pleasant but difficult to understand and the “whisper” audio headsets were scratchy which made listening to the narrative a chore. Others in our group had a similar experience.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review; your feedback is genuinely helpful for us and future visitors!
We understand the short wait you experienced. This is typically due to the mandatory security check and the fact that your tickets are nominative (issued in your name). This strict museum policy is in place specifically to protect tourists from scams and unauthorized street vendors.
We truly hope you enjoyed your visit despite the brief queueing for security!
Beverly_O, Oct 2025
Once we found our meeting spot ( it was like a scavenger hunt amongst the many statues) it was smooth sailing from there. Olga led our tour and was very knowledgeable and engaging. No one prepared us for the 6 flights of stairs going to the top floor to begin the tour. We later found out that there was an elevator my husband could have taken. He was a pacemaker. The Uffizi was high on my bucket list and I’m thankful I got to go and see many artworks in person that I’ve only seen in Art History books. What an experience! The bookstore looked like it was undergoing renovation. I bet when they are finished it will be amazing but until then, it was underwhelming. The museum bookstores are one of my add-on highlights of art museums.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a positive review and for choosing Italy Pass for your Uffizi experience. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and will certainly share your feedback with the guide. We look forward to seeing you on a future trip!

Worth every penny for a skip the line ticket. Such an amazing v gallery shame we couldn’t add new “corridor” access to our visit but throughly enjoyed it. We went to the palace gardens after the gallery.
Anthony_P, Oct 2025
Olga provided a great tour of the most popular art in the Uffizi Museum and history of Florence. The tour started a few minutes late due to the radio guy being tardy, which didn’t make a lot of difference due to large crowds
Curtis_K, Oct 2025
When we went to receive our vouchers, we were told they were sold out. This after waiting in a long line to receive them. They offered no apology and did not even return our money!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We are truly sorry to hear that you faced difficulties during the start of your experience. We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention, and we want to assure you of the measures we take:
Meeting Point Guarantee: To prevent confusion, the exact meeting location is not only noted on your voucher but is also included in our reminder communications, which feature a detailed map. We take these extra steps to make sure every client can easily find their representative.
Security Process: We work hard to minimize waiting by securing your timed and pre-booked entry. However, we must adhere to the gallery's rules, which require a mandatory security screening. This brief delay is a necessary step at all major venues and is outside of our operational control.
Please reach out to us at customer-care@italypasstours.com with any other concerns; we are standing by to assist you.

Be careful, OVERPREICED AND COMPLETELY UNUSEFUL!
The Uffizi Gallery itself is beautiful and I highly recommend visiting it. However do yourself a big favor safe a lot of money by buying the ticket at the official vending office/online, not through ITALY PASS.
The official ticket price is about 25 eur. At Italy Pass it is 50 eur. That would be fine, if the service would keep its promise: making fast and easy to get the tickets.
Unfortunately we had quite the opposite experience. The meeting location was not clearly described. Therefore we could not find the guy for the ticket handover, despite of stressfull search though the crowds of tourists.
Eventually we called the hotline. They told us to go to the Italy Pass office 20 min away. So we walked there 20 min. At the office we are being told that it was a mistake and we have to walk back to the original meeting spot. This time the lady specified clearly where to go. So we walked 20 min back. Then we finally found the guy and received our tickets. Only an hour late, with a long and rushed walk, for overpriced tickets.
This service makes sense if it makes your ticket purchase quick and easy. If it turns the process into a time consuming and exhausting odyssey, it is simply a waste of money, time and energy.
Furthermore the paid audioguide on the app did NOT even work!! I filed a complaint at Italy Pass, but sadly it was simply ignored despite several reminders.
So in short: This service from Italy Pass: NEVER AGAIN !
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience you experienced regarding your tour. We always aim for a smooth start, and we want to clarify a few points:
Finding Us: We understand that finding a meeting point can sometimes be stressful. While the location is clearly stated on your booking voucher, we also send clients follow-up reminder emails or messages through whatsapp that include a detailed map to help ensure you easily find our representative.
Security Line: As with all major museums, the required security check line is mandatory and managed by the gallery, which is unfortunately beyond our control. Although we provide pre-booked, timed entry to skip the main ticket queue, a brief wait for security screening is typically unavoidable. It usually takes only a few minutes.
For any further questions or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at customer-care@italypasstours.com. We are happy to help!
