5.00Our tour guide was so accommodating! We had missed an earlier time with another tour guide and she hooked us up with her group. So appreciative. I definitely recommend going with a tour guide. So much more information and you don’t have to wait in line!

Buyer Beware

1.00The whole experience was ruined because I felt cheated and robbed by Viator. I paid $131.90 for a 16 Euro ticket! I booked the Florence: Academia Galleria, with the Uffizi Galleria & David Statue, included, and my confirmation email confirmed that that is what I booked & paid for, until the day of the tour and I get tickets that says I only booked the Academia Galleria tour.

5.00Excellent guide. Claudia was knowledgeable, professional and spoke excellent English. She had fabulous stories of the sculptors and artists. Her knowledge of history was impeccable. We stayed the proper amount of time in each gallery. The walking through to the 2nd gallery...Uffizi. was fun and she even showed us her favorite Gelato shop. This was worth the extra money because Viator never disappoints. No surprises.
Best Tour Ever!
