Our tour of the Accademia museum with Sarah was amazing. Sarah was very knowledgeable & made the experience of seeing the statue of David even more spectacular.

I liked that we met our guide near the gallery vs some obscure address we're unaware of. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared many tidbits with our group. Although the gallery was full of other groups, we were still able to get close to the art for a wonderful viewing. We'd highly recommend and will always use head out for future tours.

We recently participated in a guided tour of the Uffizi and Accademia Galleries. Our tour guide, Alex had a wealth of knowledge to share and she really brought the paintings alive for my two children. I will be recommending this tour to all my friends. Thank you, Alex for fantastic tour of the Uffizi gallery this morning!

While the crowd seemed chaotic when we walked down the street to meet our guide, it was extremely well organized and well run. We had a nice small group with an excellent guide. The tour was nicely done. Not too long, not too short. We could stay as long as we wanted after which was nice. All in all I'm glad we booked this!

Our tour guide was awesome! The tour focused on the statues of Michealangelo, and that's what was interesting to me. The museum also has rooms of busts, paintings, and musical instruments!

I love the whole experience and doing the tour with otehr people. It was amazing to finally see Michealangelo's Obra Maestra, DAVID. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and has sense of humor which I think is a very important skill to embody so the participants will have fun at the same time.

This was an okay tour-we didn't feel like there was much of a flow to the tour and we waited 20 minutes in the line even though it was a "skip the line" tour. Overall it was okay, but I don't think it was much better than just getting a skip the line ticket and going with out a tour.

Option of two routes around the city of Florence. Red route took us up the hillside to the lovely location of Fiesole. It was disappointing that the earphone sockets on some of the seats weren't working, and also the information provided during the tour wasn't as clear as information I've received on other city sightseeing bus tours.

Thank you very much to Ciao and Anastasia!

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.

Two parts of the tour, so the review is an average of the two. The first tour of Uffizi was incredible. More than five stars for Rachele- cannot say enough good things about her. She was so knowledgeable and interesting and a truly exceptional guide. She made it really a fantastic experience. We bought the combo of two tours and unfortunately, we didn't understand that we were supposed to pick a different time for the second tour. So there was a little bit of confusion about that - both were listed for the 1 PM slot when in fact we were supposed to pick a different time for the second tour. Just something to be aware of when you are booking! The other thing is that the second tour was run by an entirely different company, which is not apparent from this site. The guides who were there immediately brought us into a different tour, though, which we appreciated. The tour guide was knowledgeable, but going to the Accademia, there was a lot of waiting time outside, and our guide was a bit more difficult to understand. Amazing experience to see the David of course. But maybe three stars for this part of the tour.

Its a very extensive gallery, it is overwhelming to try to see it all and appreciate it all. Definitely a trip that requires multiple visits if you wanna make sure to appreciate all that it has to offer. The guided tour was an awesome introduction to the space and its highlights. It made a busy day not as overwhelming and very informative. I would love to come back again and do another tour focusing on different aspects of the collection.

The evening before we were asked if we would be willing to come early due to the illness of a guide. We agreed and were thrilled. It was a wonderful tour that refreshed our knowledge and taught us new things. We stayed in the Uffizi for almost three more hours with our eyes wide open. Great, any time again. The very nice and incredibly knowledgeable guide was wonderful.

It was an amazing tour! From the meeting point we were looked after and assisted well. But the best part of the tour is our guide OLGA whi was not only very informative but also wlvery witty and funny with her comments. I also like the fact that she showed images of historical figures in her iPad so we can appreciate the person she is talking anout and how they connect with the paintings history. We would definitely recommend her tour!

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!

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.
