Excellent tour, perfect pace
Amber_K, October 2026
This tour was better than we ever expected and worth every Euro. Claudio(?) was our tour guide, and he had us captivated with the stories that he told of Michaelangeo. The pace was perfect, and it was not only informative, but added humour to the experience. He made our tour the highlight of our Italy trip!

There is a sizeable...
Robyn_S, October 2026
There is a sizeable additional cash payment for entry to the venue that is not well highlighted upon booking the tickets. We had zero cash on us when we arrived at the venue yesterday afternoon so could not attend. We were told our payment to Viator would be repaid in full but we are yet to receive anything. Very disappointing experience.

Just OK
Jeanne_S, October 2026
Our guide was just ok. Nothing special. He did quite a quick tour. Basically told us he wasn’t going to tell us about any of the paintings because they were unimportant and we should go to the Ufizzi to see paintings. Told us only about the David and the Prisoner sculptures of Michelangelo. The tour was supposed to be about the Acadmia. Not just the few famous sculptures of the Academia.
Next time I think I’d choose a different tour

Not a scam but ticket not included
Daniel_S, October 2026
I was very worried when we booked and they told us that ticket was not included and we needed to pay cash! This was not made clear at all on Viator. Everything worked fine in the end and our guide was very good.
