It’s worth the money to skip the mail line.

Get the tickets to skip to line, will save you time standing in the mane line. I really enjoyed the museum.

Best way to access the museum

Hilton_S, Apr 2024

Meeting point was well explained and easy to find. Upon receiving tickets the representative explained the process to enter the museum. It made everything very simple in an otherwise chaotic environment. You definitely need these skip the line tickets.

This service worked...

Bee_T, Apr 2024

This service worked really well for us. we even got in a little earlier than expected, and the David sculpture is magnificent

Unique

Michael_T, Apr 2024

Skip the line really is must. Once inside the experience is unique. Be sure to bring small bottles of water or be ready to trow them in the trash big one are no allowed.

David Wow!

Angela_P, Apr 2024

Finally being able to see David in person it was just amazing and inspiring. A must see when in Florence.

Well Worth It

Edward_R, Apr 2024

When we arrived at the Galarria D’ Academia, we saw lines that looked like the worst, think Disney without any organized approach. We met our rep at the assigned spot. He handed us tickets and told us where to stand. Although this line was still daunting, it began to move. It still took some time to get in, but it was definitely worth it as we wanted to see David. Once inside, it did not feel crowded at all, and we could stay by David as long as we wanted for some great pictures.

Be Prepared

Jeff_M, Apr 2024

The process was confusing. The guide just put us in a line which was not a real line. Her coat covered up her badge so she was also hard to find. There is no such thing as a skip the line. It is a timed entry. The way it works is you get assigned a time of entry. Don’t worry, it won’t be close to the actual time of entry. You will wait on the street until your time is called on two little signs that you won’t be able to see. Once your time is called, then you get in line and wait. Lots of chaos. Very little guidance for 1st timers. David was cool, other than that, eh.

We had one objective

Kathy_S, Apr 2024

We came , we saw , we conquered ! It was a great experience ! Our son is an artist and we had an extensive list of masterpieces to see . Michaelangelos David was at the top of our list. Viator was highly recommended to use for vouchers and tickets and reservations for the Academia . We met our contact at the flowerpot and we skipped the line. We also had water and gelato while we waited at the nearby store. David was magnificent!! Thank you Viator!!

Well worth it and a great time saver!

Krista_J, Apr 2024

We were a group of 8 and it was amazing to show up just before our slotted time and then be ushered in just a few minutes past the slotted time with no hassles. The normal line to get in was so long that it wrapped around the building and went down the block. I cannot imagine standing in that line, especially on a hot, cold, or rainy day. I’m so happy we bought these tickets ahead of time so that we could fit a lot more into our day, rather than standing in line for hours!

Easy and Helpful Guide

Christopher_R, Apr 2024

Highly recommended! The tour was easy to find and well organized. You definitely want to do this to help navigate the normal crowds and chaos outside. David and the rest of the artwork was amazing

AWESOME and worth the small investment!

Alacyn_N, Apr 2024

Easy to find, great to work with, and got in the gallery in under 5 minutes skipping the line that was 2 hours just to the right of us! Highly recommend investing in this!

The museum was great. You...

Ronda_H, Apr 2024

The museum was great. You skip the line by not having to stand in line at the venue for tickets. You show up at your time, get your tickets for your time then wait in the line for that time period. Great time.

Great for last minute access!

Maralee_W, Apr 2024

We did not originally plan to see David and when we decided we wanted to, it was sold out days in advance. While it was expensive, you get what you pay for which is quick, last minute access. It was really efficient and absolutely worth it. Thank you!

worth it, especially if your not willing to wait

David_S, Apr 2024

Directions we accurate. host was friendly and gave us tickets 15 minutes early. best way to miss the crazy long lines

Great ticket host for Skip the Line with no tour needed

Amy_M, Apr 2024

Easy pick up and entrance to the museum. This option was perfect for my daughter and I to enter by Skip the Line but then explore on our own.

Amazing

Lee_M, Apr 2024

Loved seeing Michalengelo’s “David” for the first time. The details of the sculpture were amazing! A must see while in Florence.

Worth it!

Kristin_D, Apr 2024

Worth it to skip the line and save time on your vacation when there is so much to see. David is amazing.

hazel free entry

Sameera_W, Apr 2024

I was there a few hours early and ticket operator gave me an early slot than what I have book which was convenient for me. swift and hazel free entry to the museum. Recommend any one who is thinking of visiting the Accademia.

Go See David

Lisa_H, Apr 2024

Meeting the ticket person was easy and seamless. We were very glad to skip the long line. Seeing David was incredible beyond words. It was so much more meaningful than I thought it would be.

Paying a ton to “skip the line”

Leanne_B, Apr 2024

Misread the tour (that’s on me) but paying over 70 Euros for 1 adult and 2 teens which would have cost us 16 Euros total just to skip the line was crazy. No guided tour or even a few words. Kids under 18 are free at national museums. Boo!
