The pleasant woman behind the desk allowed us to pick up our tickets ( from voucher) early. The young men handling the crowds were extremely organized and unfailingly pleasant - even at 5::00 in the evening.  Inside. It was not crazy crowded.  
Thank you for all of this.

Timing!! Timing is everything we scheduled an 8:45 entrance and we got there early and they allowed us to enter with the 8:15. The crowd was manageable. Layout was excellent and curators were wonderful.

Mary our guide was fantastic! She made everything move easily. Loved her commentary. The pictures she shared added to the experience. We didn't get a guide at Uffizi so not as good an experience.

Mary our guide was fantastic. Lots of interesting info on the Medicis and the artworks as well as Michelangos David. Well worth the booking. 

Once I was in the Academia it was lovely. The skip the line tickets at the Uffizi were past the time - ie, seemingly left over from a previous tour. The tour guides appeared a bit disorganized compared with my other tours from other companies on this trip.

Everything very simple and well organized. The Tour Guide ALESSIO ALIOTO was truly outstanding/ordinary/brave and knowledgeable! The time flew by immersed in his illustrations. Thank you Alessio Congratulations

I love the exhibit!  The problem was the guide.  She didn't talk directly into the mic well and she seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere else.

But, we loved the museum!!!

The sculptures and art work were beautiful. Our guide was very knowledgeable but had problems with her audio system. A lot of breaking up and static especially when we were walking.

Our guide was absolutely amazing! I am so sorry that I can't recall her name, but she was truly so knowledgeable that it made this experience more meaningful! Excellent tour and we highly recommend!

Thomas was a wonderful guide and made the tour exceptionally informative and entertaining. 

We will definitely visit again !
