It was an unexpected highlight of our time in Florence. The Douma was booked out and it was a free museum day, so the lines were very long. We happened upon the hop on hop off bus tour and decided that would allow us to see more of the city. The views from Piazzale Michelangelo were amazing and we would've missed it if we hadn't taken the bus tour!

It would have been good if it had been announced at the terminus when the bus would start again. This took half an hour, during which you could have got off and used the time. This was only possible on request.

We had some uncertainty with finding an actual "Hop on, Hop off" stop within the city of Florence. It would be great if the confirmation email after purchase used the customer's location to identify where the nearest stop might be. It is difficult in Florence, as many head for the Duomo/Santa Maria Novella piazza area, but there are no stops in that area. Once we did find a stop, the tour was great and showed us parts of Florence that took us away from the throngs i.e. Fiesole.

I was in Florence on another excuywhich left me 3 hours if free time. I chose the hop on/off bus to be able to see more of Florence. I gave it a good rating because the bus stop I needed to get on was difficult to find. Lucky for me the number you call for customer service got me to the spot. The man in the phone was fabulous. Without him, I may not have found the stop.

Sadly, the Florence half marathon was scheduled for the first day of our 48hr ticket, which meant we lost 1/4 of the time we could have used on the tour. The staff were at the stops to advise us, so kudos to them for being brave enough to stand and explain it. Otherwise, all good.

We booked the Accademia Gallery Skip-the-Line Guided Tour through Headout and had a great experience. Skipping the extremely long line was worth it alone, but the tour itself exceeded expectations. Our group was small, which made it easy to follow and ask questions. The guide was incredibly informative—we learned so much about the history and artistry of the museum, especially the iconic statue of David, which was absolutely breathtaking in person. The tour lasted about an hour and covered all the key highlights of the Accademia Gallery, with just the right balance of depth and pace. Highly recommend this tour if you want a richer, more meaningful visit without the stress of waiting in line.

Apr 2025Verified booking
The guide was knowledge and it was very interesting! My kids (13, 11, 7) and I all had a great time and learned a lot! Hardly any wait in line to get in, and didn't feel rushed in the exhibit at all. Spent a lot of time at the David and from multiple angles. Loved it! It was my first experience with a guided tour and I so glad we did it! BUT I am disappointed with the back end of things - when booking the tour it said to meet far away from the accademia and instead to meet near the uffitzi - thst didn't make sense to me, so I chatted online with someone and they confirmed the location and that we'd walk with our guide over. The day before the tour I got an email confirming that same location. When we arrived I was told we were at the wrong location and needed to hurry over to the meeting spot by the accademia. We then needed to RUN through the city to get there on time so we wouldn't miss the tour. We arrived sweaty and frazzled. The tour guide was fantastic, but the communication leading up to the tour was not good.

Not happy you sell tickets as "skip the line" when we spent 1/2 the 1hr allocated tour time standing in a queue. How is that skip the line? Total time in the museum was 30 mins, not 1hr as stated on the ticket.

Myself and my friend had a great tour of Academia. It was concentrated on the history of Michelangelo given it was only an hour duration but we enjoyed that and understanding this amazing artist in more detail and centring around the build of David. I recall it was Vera who was our guide in English. She was very good and could be clearly understood. Still left us the opportunity to explore the valley further after the tour.

It was a bit of a mix up. Someone came late and they did not have a ticket for her so we had to stand in a line and wait 10 minutes for the tour arranges to bring another ticket. Then we did a toilet stop and waited 10 minutes for people to go there. It was frustrating as surely you go to the loo before hand and if your late you miss the tour. This left us stuck in crowds as the guides all talk about the same specific painting so everyone huddles in there areas although the rest of the gallery is quite acceptable. So floor 2 is crowded floor 1 is easy to walk around. The guide had lots of knowledge but I wanted to speak about the paintings but it was about the medchi family and where they lived etc and who was related to who. This was too much and detracted from us even standing in front of a painting. It was expensive so I would have expected a smaller group with less hearding. The overall was good but could have been better.

It was an unexpected highlight of our time in Florence. The Douma was booked out and it was a free museum day, so the lines were very long. We happened upon the hop on hop off bus tour and decided that would allow us to see more of the city. The views from Piazzale Michelangelo were amazing and we would've missed it if we hadn't taken the bus tour!

It would have been good if it had been announced at the terminus when the bus would start again. This took half an hour, during which you could have got off and used the time. This was only possible on request.

We had some uncertainty with finding an actual "Hop on, Hop off" stop within the city of Florence. It would be great if the confirmation email after purchase used the customer's location to identify where the nearest stop might be. It is difficult in Florence, as many head for the Duomo/Santa Maria Novella piazza area, but there are no stops in that area. Once we did find a stop, the tour was great and showed us parts of Florence that took us away from the throngs i.e. Fiesole.

I was in Florence on another excuywhich left me 3 hours if free time. I chose the hop on/off bus to be able to see more of Florence. I gave it a good rating because the bus stop I needed to get on was difficult to find. Lucky for me the number you call for customer service got me to the spot. The man in the phone was fabulous. Without him, I may not have found the stop.

It was a good experience. Lots of people. No one was at the stop 10 to line people up. It was a holiday and so many people and people were trying to get in front of other people.
