Traveler reviews
Worth it!
Great experience. I am so glad we booked the skip the line tickets! We walked past a long line of people waiting in the normal queue. Saved quite a bit of time waiting in the sun.
I scheduled our group of...
I scheduled our group of three through Viator. We were to meet our guide for skip the line tickets through Crowntours 15 minutes before our timed entry at 9:15 am. A few days before I received a message stating our updated time was 8:15 am. We showed up at the ticket redemption address at 7:30 am and waited with others who were confused as well. Two very nice young women showed up and gave everyone colored stickers depending on our tour guide. One tour guide showed up but a group of about 10 of us waited as the crowd grew. Our host did not arrive so the ladies that did show up purchased our tickets and got us in. All ended well but it was frustrating and confusing.
Not organized
My schedule time was changed an hour later. Once we got someone to connect with they forgot to tell us of the audio connection which took to long due to poor connection inside. We just winged it and enjoyed it.
Fast track and informative
This tour was informative and also helped us get into the exhibit quickly. Great tour guide - answered all our questions
Wonderful Experience!
What a wonderful tour of the Accademia Gallery in Florence !! Rafael was a great tour guide, very informative and engaging. We thoroughly enjoyed it. While Michelangelo's statue of David was the highlight, we appreciated seeing his other sculptures and work. Would recommend this tour!!
