It was easy to find the tour director and great to skip the line and go in a special entrance.

I really didn't know how to rate this. Getting the tickets were easy and simple. The person was there on time. However, since we were there near the end of October, there was no line when we went in. There was a small line that was moving at a not too bad pace when we came out, though. So if you're thinking about going in the summer, I'd say it would be worth it, but maybe take your chances in the fall.

There was some confusion with the ticket agent when I presented my voucher. He wouldn't accept the voucher & told me that we had to be part of a tour. I showed him what the email said about being on our own to view the gallery. After some time, a young man approached, took the voucher & email, & proceeded to speak with the ticket agent. He apparently worked for or represented Viator, but we weren't certain. We got our tickets & proceeded to enjoy the gallery. Perhaps in the future, Viator can direct customers to meet the Viator representative before going to the ticket agent & have the representative handle the exchange. Other than that, I'd recommend Viator to anyone.

Arrived 20 minutes prior as advised. The guide passed us straight though into the gallery; we didn't have to wait for the full group to arrive, saving us 20 very precious minutes on our 1 action packed, amazing but tiring day in Florence. Very impressed. The regular queue went down the street and around the block; we walked straight in, literally. Excellent. The David is breathtaking, no replicas come close, it really is stunningly beautiful and well worth seeing.

Seeing Michelangelo's breathtaking 'David' was more than worth the trip to the Academia Gallery. By prebooking the tickets and skipping the line, the afternoon was stress free, and allowed us more time to see the city of Florence!

Aside from the statue of David, the museum is not that impressive, especially after spending several days in Rome. It is a little difficult to find the entrance and the Viator representative.

For us, skipping the line was fine, but we did not need a tour as it is not that big of a place.

Lines were very short in March when we were there. I would definitely recommend for summer travel.

Probably a better tour during the high tourist season. This was an unguided tour, and the tour simply allowed us to proceed ahead of the line. There was no line at all on the day we took the tour. I have been to the Accademia in other months and the line is very long, so it would be best to use this tour during busy months.

We were very, very disappointed. We thought we had purchased a tour, not merely the ability to skip the lines. The Viator person for this afternoon Accademia tour at least did not arrived as late as the Viator person did for the Uffizi Gallery tour in the morning. But she also claimed that we had not purchased a tour, even though the ticket clearly indicated we had purchased a tour, and we thought we had purchased a tour. So, like we had to do with the morning at the Uffizi Gallery, we did not get a sticker for the tour, and had to follow the group in and hang around and listened ro the guide, making us feel like criminals or something. No one logically would one pay that much money just to avoid lines that could be avoided by arriving earlier anyway. We would advise all to not use this company, but rather get a tour from one of the many companies there in Florence.

There was no line to skip in our case on December 9th. We could have bought the ticket at the museum for less money 12 euro two people instead of 44. What is worse, we were early at the museum 10am and had to wait for the arranged time to meet the Viator representative 11am. If we wanted to start visiting at 10 am our only option was to pay 12 to the museum in addition to the 44 already paid to Viator. Viator's service may be interesting in summer but not in December.
