I was thrilled to bring my friend to Galleria Academia, a place that never fails to impress! Our experience was absolutely amazing, thanks to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff at Crown Tours. They went above and beyond to make our visit comfortable and even upgraded our tickets to a guided tour, which was beyond cool! Our guide was so informative and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Crown Tours truly made our visit unforgettable!

My name is Robert Pauletic, from Croatia, I was on a "skip the line" tour of Crown Tours, April 18th, 1pm, Galleria dell Academia. I want to write something about the disgrace of Crown Tours Firenze. Info about the tour. Accademia Gallery Skip-the-Line Guided Tour - English Guided Tour, Crown Tours. ROBERT PAULETIC | 1 Adult , 1 Infant When: April 18, 2024 Start Time: 01:00 PM Booking ID: 17486260 We had Ekatarina, the most incompetent and worst guide I've ever dealt with. We only had to enter the Gallery of the Academy and see the statue of David. First, we wasted 15 minutes while she frantically searched for who was in her group. Then the biblical rain began and instead of bringing us inside as quickly as possible, she left us to wait IN THE WRONG PLACE, THE WRONG QUEUE, in the worst rain, me and my five-year-old son (and the rest of the group of 8 people). My son later caught a cold. The rest of the group also suffered and got wet, waiting in the wrong place. When an employee of the Gallery warned Ekaterina that she was waiting in the wrong place, we stood in the right line, in which another 70 people entered in the meantime! When we finally entered the gallery, wet to the skin, it was 1.44 pm, so the skip the line that we paid double was a serious fraud! Ekatarina babbled something uninteresting in bad English, and I refused to follow the incompetent guide any further. When I asked her her name so that I could write a review, she refused to give me her name, moreover, she hid the inscription with her name on it with her hand. Later I learned the name from her colleagues - Ekatarina. Avoid that group from Crown Tours Firenze if you can!

The guide knew a lot about the information that gave us. She explained everything very well and was interested. The only thing that we did not like was the time that we had to wait to enter the museum, but we know that it was not the guide’s fault.
