Very good visit in every aspect: The exhibition was like no other I have seen, sublime.... The organization to buy and receive the tickets was perfect. Some more precise indications were missing (place to pick up the tickets, meeting points with more precise directions, etc), but in general it was good. I recommend it with eyes closed.

This was a very easy process. We met our contact right outside the museum. She was right on time and walked us right in to the timed entry. It was very helpful and what a great is that we had.

Nice to do at our own pace but not have to queue for that experience! Enjoyed the museum although it took a while to work out the audio guide referred to a sample of exhibits only 😆. Would recommend the museum.

Once I was in the Academia it was lovely. The skip the line tickets at the Uffizi were past the time - ie, seemingly left over from a previous tour. The tour guides appeared a bit disorganized compared with my other tours from other companies on this trip.

15th century: Ever wondered what late-gothic paintings look like? Take a look at Lorenzo Monaco's art as you stroll the paintings section at the museum.
16th - 17th century: You'll get a glimpse of this time from the artworks by Andrea del Sarto and Pontormo. Also, take in the beauty of the intricate altarpieces from this era.
