4.00Guide was excellent. Just make sure you know tickets are not included in viator pricing. Not cheap, but you do avoid longer lineups if you try doing it solo.
Worth it!

5.00Very convenient to have skip the line access. You will receive instructions regarding where to meet the guide the day before. They have your tickets and you pay the museum fee in euros. The guided tour is well worth the money as we would never have learned much of what we did without it. Very organized and efficient.
Great and WELL worth the money!

3.00This tour does NOT include museum admission. Yes they disclose that before you buy but not in a noticeable enough way in my opinion as I did not notice it nor did the other family that showed up for our tour. So be forewarned And I don’t understand how the academia could show no tickets but then I hand her cash and she can go get tickets on the spot
Highly recomended

5.00I was trying to buy timing tickets for the Gallery in order to see Michelangelo work and theDavid’s statue. I assumed the price is higher since it includes access tickets to the museum but it did not. I didn’t read the fine print and only realized the price was for the guided tour and I had to pay for the entry tickets cash before the tour starts. Regardless, the tour was excellent, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided details we didn’t know nor ever heard. The tour is well organized, easy to find the tour guide, wait time to enter the museum was less than 5 minutes. I would recommend such tour!
Great tour.
