“Ana is a fantastic guide. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about the art at the Gallery. A key feature of this tour, apart from skipping the line, is that you spend an hour or so focused on a few iconic pieces. This is the most enjoyable way to enjoy any museum since it is impossible to see everything and read all the placards. Ana provided so much context about the period and how the piece came to be, giving us a deeper appreciation of life in Florence and beyond. We then spent another hour looking at other works. A truly memorable visit!”
St. Peter’s Basilica, La Pietà, Papal Tombs, and optional Dome views, led by an official guide with headsets.

“Such an amazing place to visit and the main dome room was simply breathtaking. Tickets worked a treat, no queue but the ‘Youth’ ticket is only for EU citizens and not available to UK (although he did just let us in but informed us twice..). Didn’t see that mentioned when booking but could have missed it.”
