“Skip the line” doesn’t mean the same thing in Italy! Decent guides for a big price.
Skip the line doesn’t actually mean that you skip the line. It means slight priority entrance. We waited 45 min for a small group (9people) tour of the Uffizi with the wonderful Italian guide Alex. She was great! However the second part of the day with the trip to the museum with David was miserable. We waited outside in line for at least an hour or more. At one point I left, got a sandwich, ate it and came back and continued to wait. There were 19 people in our group—the guide said that the “under 9 participants” only applied to the Uffizi part of the day. She also kept claiming that the waiting “never happens” to which I think…baloney! For about $135 per person, it was not a great value. Having a guide is important and having the guide talking via an earphone is helpful but it’s a total toss of the dice whether you get a good guide or not. The best guide we’ve had so far was the Brazilian Gabrielle who gave the Medici walking tour and provided a ton of info and history while working just for tips!

Tour
The tour guide at Uffizi was too educated for that kind of your. She spent 15-20 min on a painting and other tour guides spent 3-4 minutes. She would be a great instructor but to much detail for these yours. We all lost interest quickly, The guide for academia was very good.

A lifetime experience
Do not miss out on this tour. It's wonderful to experience the David in person. The pictures you see do not do justice to its wonder. The other works of art are a must see at least once in your life

Skip this tour-Currently asking for a refund!
Less than 24 hours before the visit, the time was changed from 10:30 to 11:30, disrupting our whole day's plans. The woman on the phone had so solution or answer. We had to cancel our lunch plans since it was too late to cancel the tour. We did not 'skip the line' We were supposed to start at 11:30 and did not get into security until after 12! Our guide was non engaging and very difficult to understand. We did not exit the museum until after 2 pm and no one gave us any information about where and when to meet at the Accademia. We had no time to eat since we ENTERED the museum 30 minutes after we had planned to be FINISHED. When I asked for a refund first I was told we never showed up! I have since sent time stamped photos and full explanation and I am waiting to hear back about a refund. I have used Viator MANY times and never had an issue like this, I am very disappointed with the response time. I will be contacting my credit card company if I do not get a refund.
Response from the operator: Noted on your review. First of all, we would like to clarify that in some instances that tours are rescheduled for some urgent reasons, our staffs informs the guests of the reschedule as to let you know if you would want to proceed with the new schedule or not according to your availability, this is optional of course but since you have agreed to join the new schedule we do organize tour guides and arrange tickets for you, which of course costs us. secondly, Once you purchase a product from us the details of meeting point are written on the voucher so all you have to do is check the meeting point for the accademia Gallery on your voucher. We manage a lot of tours everyday and its rare for us to have an issue of complain after a client agrees to the new time slot for the tour. Due to number of tourists and clients purchasing skip the line tickets, and considering also that it is peak season, this is beyond our control and is not a valid reason for our company to issue refunds. If you have further concerns kindly email or contact our hotline number. Best regards

Just book it!
The tour was really well organized and the guides were informative as expected. The Uffizi gallery tour started at 10, group guides easy to locate per directions. This museum is tremendously large and we had some time after our tour (1-1.5 hours) to check some things out on our own. The Galleria Academia tour then started at 3 (we didn't realize there would be a gap in time) and went near that location later on. Used the time to get some lunch and spritz. Again easy to locate group guide per directions. Much smaller museum but enjoyed it more - and our guide was fantastic. It is silly to say that one statue is so impressive but it really is worth it!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence: Uffizi & Accademia Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence: Uffizi & Accademia Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Florence: Uffizi & Accademia Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Florence: Uffizi & Accademia Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Florence: Uffizi & Accademia Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Florence: Uffizi & Accademia Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence: Uffizi & Accademia Tour?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence: Uffizi & Accademia Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
