Coisas para fazer em Florença

Niccolo was an excellent guide! He brought the history and stories of Pisa, Siena, and San Gimignano to life with wonderful insight and practical tips. His warm humour made every story engaging and easy to follow. A truly memorable tour!

Our guide was Gabriele and the bus driver was Gabriel. The guide speaks English and is friendly. He also shared quite a few tips at each location. Please note that the itinerary flows like this: bus to the first area, then a train to a different part of the attraction within the first area. Then back to the first area stop and a bus to the second area, then back to Florence. Also note that if you don't want to walk during the Pisa visit, you can pay $3 per person per direction to reach there from the bus stopping area to Pisa and vice versa.

Trip is excellent and convenient. We went to Siena, San Gimignano, Vineyard and Pisa. Thoses towns are so beautiful. Vineyard came with lunch and wine tasting. Totally recommended! Pisa is nice but we didn’t have much time to explore much. Be prepare that they don’t have much toilets. We had to go to cafe and purchased drinks. Public toilets are not available much.

Didn’t know that you have to exchange for the real ticket at the office first before queuing. Luckily the lady let me in instead of asking me to queue on my time slot again. Otherwise nice small museum with other old sculptures and musical instruments.

El boleto nos fue enviado un día antes. Fue fácil entrar por la primera puerta; la fila era corta. Solo recuerde llevar una identificación o pasaporte para verificar el nombre (ya que lo revisan) y llegar a tiempo. No incluye el Corredor Vasari, pero lo bueno es que tiene una audioguía que ayuda a saber qué partes son imprescindibles y cuáles se pueden ver rápidamente (nota: la audioguía oficial cuesta 6 euros adicionales en el lugar). En general, estoy contento.

You can just go and queue with the QR code! The queue will open punctually, and the queuing speed is very fast, but it is recommended to go a little earlier to queue! The earlier you go in, the earlier you reach the top, and the more time you will have for photos, because everyone in the same batch has the same amount of time. People queuing at the back will really have less time for photos. I was queuing at the back that day, and not long after reaching the top, they started clearing the area, so I didn't have time to take photos slowly! But the view from the top is really super beautiful! It's very worthwhile! Climbing the stairs is actually not as tiring as imagined. Don't be scared by the number of steps and miss the beautiful scenery on the top floor. Anyone with normal legs can climb up smoothly! On the day of your reserved time, you can visit other attractions included in the package. For example, I had reserved 3:00 PM to climb the dome that day, and I went to climb the bell tower at 8:30 AM without a reservation. I just scanned the QR code and entered smoothly. The bell tower is not difficult either. There are rest platforms every short section, and there is no time limit, so you can climb slowly and take photos slowly. However, there is a wire mesh at the top of the bell tower, so the photos are not as beautiful as from the dome.

Our guide was amazing. She is a Florence resident and I enjoyed how she gave us some context on the city's history and relevance to the Uffizi gallery. She was also very passionate about her job and was able to provide easy to understand explanations of the art works we were looking at, and the historical significance of the pieces. Follow instructions on meeting point and just wait for the guide. I was a little worried initially as i arrived before the guide but they will turn up at the spot mentioned.

The electronic voucher provided by the Klook platform cannot be used directly. You must follow the detailed instructions below the voucher and go to the ticket supplier's designated location (we were at the Donatello statue outside the Uffizi Gallery at the time) at the specified time (usually 15 minutes before your reserved visit time) to collect a physical ticket from the staff and scan a QR code to download the audio guide. It is recommended to download the audio guide app "POPGuide" in advance where there is WiFi, as some audio guides in Florence and Rome use this app. Downloading it early can reduce waiting time before ticket validation.

Booking the tickets through here is very convenient - highly recommended as the queue is very long and quite impossible to secure the tickets. David is an absolute masterpiece as well, definitely worth the trip.
