Waiting although we had skip the line tickets
I have written to you and am awaiting a resolution. We were extended a partial refund from Jamie of $35.80. This too makes no sense as we had to wait while the guide bought our tickets. What does 11:00 “skip the line” mean then??
Response from the operator: Dear customer We feel sorry to hear this, can you write an email at : customercare@mytours.it we would like to hear more about your experience We look forward hearing from you Best regards my tour in Italy

Time travel to the Medici times in quattrocento
Fantastic visit with our guide Maria who gave us a lot of insight about Florence history, the Medici family, the masterpieces of Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Botticelli, Giotto and many others ... many thanks!
Response from the operator: Dear Laurent, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We feel very fortunate to have customers like you because we work hard to meet expectations like yours. We hope to see you again on our tours in the future. Sincerely, myTour Team

Must do this
You must have a skip the line tour to go through to see David. There are so many people in such a small space and they only let so many in at a time and groups like this get priority. Our guide was great and explained everything very well. If you have ear buds, not wireless, bring them. You will find that most tours use a small transmitter with earplugs so everyone can hear. They can be uncomfortable and not work right so bring your own.

Phone to reserve your tickets
Would absolutely recommend phoning as process is very simple , press 2 for the English speaking option , rather than reserving using the website , which kept crashing. We toured quite a lot of Italy this month and for some sites you don’t need skip the line tickets eg Pompeii, Herculaneum and St. Peter’s basilica , but if you want to see David you definitely do !
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, thank you for taking this tour with us and for letting us know about your journey. We appreciate you for your recommendation. We look forward to seeing you again. Best Regards My Tour

Disorganized, misleading communication, no time saved
We purchased skip-the-line tickets (no guided tour). The person showed up late and we had to wait another 20 minutes for him to give us our tickets. The biggest problem was that they mislead us about not having to wait in line, even though they knew fully well that we would have to wait in line with others who had reservations (which was an almost equally long line as the no-reservations line). The whole process took more an hour so I'm not sure how much time we saved (and this after paying more than 2x the official ticket price). Maybe our experience was an outlier but we would not recommend this service.
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, thank you for bringing your opinion to our attention! First we appreciate you for choosing us and second let us explain about this tour. The Accademia Gallery tour is a tour with the skip the line ticket but during high season it makes it hard to pass immediately even in the skip the line part looking that the number of participants from different agencies is large number. What we value most is the information we give inside the Accademia,and our well trained team is always working hard to give the best they can. We hope to have you back again in the future to enjoy more tours with us! Best Regards My Tour

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guided Tour of Florence’s Accademia Gallery: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Guided Tour of Florence’s Accademia Gallery cost?
+
Prices start at $89 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 Guided Tour of Florence’s Accademia Gallery take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 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 Guided Tour of Florence’s Accademia Gallery worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 17 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 Guided Tour of Florence’s Accademia Gallery?
+
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 Guided Tour of Florence’s Accademia Gallery suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Tour of Florence’s Accademia Gallery?
+
Around 6 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 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Tour of Florence’s Accademia Gallery 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.
