All the displays of the stunning artwork in this collection were magnificent! I would love to come back many times in the future. I would recommend this activity to all who come to Florence.

The Academia and the David were wonderful. The ticket which I bought from CAF through Get Your Guide is false advertising and I do not recommend you book with Get Your Guide or CAF Tour & Travel. I purchased a ticket with an "optional audio guide", which I found out requires an additional fee that is never mentioned in the booking materials! (Why would the ticket advertise something that it does not provide? Might as well offer "optional lunch" or "optional gift from the gift shop"!) When I contacted customer service Get Your Guide blamed CAF Tour & Travel, and nothing got resolved. While I recommend the David, I also recommend booking with someone else for your peace of mind.

Beware!!! If I could give this zero stars I would! We have used TripAdvisor for 8 different activities this trip alone all have been great EXCEPT for this one. The representative that checked us in ( Karla) was rude and not helpful. I paid for 3 people and had my receipt - she only had 2 people on her list so told us to go get in line to pay for 3 rd ticket. ( wait in line even though I paid for skip the line tickets.) we waited in line and when we got to the front they said they had no more tickets for the day and one of us was unable to go in. Beyond frustrating. Again, had a receipt as proof of # of people I paid for. Then we paid for audio tour but when we went to counter to collect our audio cassette she told me they do not recognize Viator and do not work with that company. This was a horrendous experience, I called to speak to them on the phone and they told us, sorry we can not help you. Go with another company- this tour was the most unorganized, rude, unhelpful group I have ever experienced!!!! Complete waste of money and ruined our morning!!!!

This option is ok if you plan to arrive at a peak hour or in the full season. Otherwise, a regular ticket makes more sense. We booked it for mid February and at 09.30 and there was no queue on the normal entrance.

Having the handsets to listen to descriptions of the various art works was very helpful. Easy to operate. Crowded but not jammed.

It was good to have the audio guide but we had a hard time finding where to hook up for the tickets .

Judith_N

Definitely purchase ticket in advance. Very busy venue. And get earliest possible entry. As time goes on during day crowd only gets worse.

Not much to be gained by using this service. If you can get your own skip the line tickets, you can rent the audio device within yourself. For ease, this worked for us, but for those on a budget, you can probably do this yourself for less.

Very informative guide and excellent tour of Academia. The tour was the perfect length with plenty of time spent with David.
