Didn't have to queue when booking via Klook, but have to remember to collect tickets just outside at the cafe by showing them the booking id

Big museum. Be prepared to spend at least 1.5 hours (minimum). Really worth a visit when in Florence. Make sure to download the entire audioguide beforehand as the data signal is spotty inside the museum and they didn’t really have free wifi or it wasn’t working.

From the moment our journey with Ciao Florence began, it was clear that this experience would be something special. What truly elevated the entire trip were our guides, Anna and Ghaya two exceptional individuals who embodied professionalism, warmth, and deep knowledge. Their approach to guiding was refreshing: easy-going yet highly informative, structured yet flexible enough to make the experience feel organic rather than rushed. Looking back, I can confidently say the trip was worth every moment, from the first step to the very last.

The Tuscany day trip was amazing! The itinerary was well planned, covering Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa all in one day. The guide was knowledgeable, the views were beautiful, and the lunch was authentic and delicious. Highly recommended!

This was my second time visiting this gallery, and honestly, I'd happily go a third time! I visited on a Sunday, and there were no lines. I think that's thanks to the e-ticket. I first approached the woman outside, who exchanged my e-ticket for a paper one, and everything went quickly and smoothly. I got the audio guide in Russian. It's not super detailed, but it's quite decent. Important note: you need to leave your passport or ID for the audio guide, and they only return it at the end. I didn't know that... luckily, I happened to have my passport with me. It took me exactly 2 hours to visit the entire gallery with a short break and a trip to the restroom. I didn't stop for too long at each painting, so in my opinion, 2 hours is the optimal time. If you want to examine each work carefully, allow 3-4 hours. My impressions are only positive.

The line to enter the church was very long, and the Italian tour guide had a very strong accent. If you're a native Mandarin speaker, you'll need to pay close attention to understand the explanations 😇. However, being able to skip the long line in the Italian heat and enter directly is worth the price of admission! I highly recommend this tour.

This tour is perfect for those staying in Florence who want to visit the surrounding towns. The itinerary for the day is as follows: 7:20 AM Meet at the Florence SMN train station – Pisa (1 hour) – Winery near San Gimignano (Lunch + 3 wine tastings) – San Gimignano (1 hour) – Siena (1 hour) – 7:30 PM Return to SMN train station. The whole trip is quite compact, with only about 1 hour in each location. If you want to explore properly, the time is not really enough. However, its strength is its convenience, as you travel by bus and it's not tiring, so it's still very suitable. The tour guide, Barbara, is very friendly and responsible. I recommend this tour! (The entire tour is explained in English).

The trip was great! We only had a few days to explore Italy, and this trip allowed us to check out the iconic landmarks of Pisa and Florence in a day. Of course, these cities have a lot to offer and experience, but it was enough, especially with the limited time we had. As you may know, a tour is only as good as the guide and our driver, and here: Aaron and Giuseppe respectively, and I felt that I was able to appreciate the place more knowing about its history before I came to see it. Like I'd hear it on the bus on the way to the city, and I'd see it in front of me—knowing its significance and importance—made it all much more meaningful. It really did. Go get this tour if you want a taste of these beautiful cities, and come back to them when you can. But you won't regret this. I definitely don't, and I'm left with a feeling of wanting to return when I can.
