Things to do in Gallery of the Academy of Florence

was able to learn why and how Pisa was built.

Our guide Leonardo was very enthusiastic, informative, knowledgeable and patient. He is very professional and polite. He explains the painting and kind of art prior letting us hear through the auto guide. He guides the information we get from the audio guide so, we can understand more clearly. The entire experience was worth it because of a guide like him. We went home very satisfied and we wish all other attendees will experience Leonardo’s expertise.

Booked a morning time slot and found a lady in a vest at the queue to exchange the ticket. She patiently explained the ticket details and seat location, and we entered quickly. The stairs to the dome were surprisingly easy to climb. Saw stable and massive paintings and beautiful city views outside the roof during the visit. Highly recommended.

The solemn atmosphere inside the church and baptistery, along with the grand wall decorations, are impressive. The mosaic tile floor is especially beautiful. Allow plenty of time to appreciate it.

Includes 4 admission tickets! You have three days to visit 4 places! The Baptistery is closed for renovations, and I think the museum is just okay! The dome of the Florence Cathedral (Duomo) is actually more worth visiting, but it's a tough climb. I recommend going at 9:30 AM, as there will be fewer people! The section at the top only has one spiral staircase for going up and down, so it's very crowded. It's better in the morning when there are fewer people. They don't have any flow control or management.

We hop from island to island smoothly without getting lost. The guide was able to speak in multiple foreign languages to cater to tourists from different countries. She shared lots of information on Florence and Cinque Terre, such as food recommendation and photo spots. Overall, very positive experience

Our tour guide, Barbara, is multilingual and meticulously describes the attractions and restroom locations at each site. The itinerary was also well-organized and smooth. Highly recommended!

Arrive at the bell tower at the designated time to line up. After the security check, you can start climbing. There are many floors to rest on along the way, so you can complete the climb according to your physical ability.
