The tour was very informative, and we appreciated the guide’s knowledge of the Accademia and Uffizi galleries. However, we didn’t feel that we benefited much from the advertised skip-the-line tickets, as we still spent a considerable amount of time waiting. While the in-depth explanations were interesting, we felt that too much time was spent in certain areas, leaving little opportunity to see other works and exhibits that we may have wanted to explore. A better balance between detailed explanations and seeing more of the galleries would have made the experience more enjoyable for us.
Firenze was fantastic!

We had a wonderful time and finally got to see The David with Francesca! She was also very helpful to us personally after the tour. The only advice we would suggest to the Tour Guy is that the confirmation email should include the necessity of bringing along your passport in order to clear security at the Uffizi.

Our Accademia's David and Uffizi Half-Day Tour in Florence was a group of 12 led by Maria Francesca, who spoke very good English, was friendly and knowledgeable. She knew where to lead us and provide needed rest stops as Florence was extremely packed with tourists during our time there Sept. 21-24.
