Most tours offer a full refund if canceled at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Some exclusive Dome climb tickets may have stricter policies due to high demand.

Real experiences from real travelers
The skip-the-line access for the Accademia was a lifesaver. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Michelangelo.
We booked the Dome access and the view was breathtaking. The booking process through this site was seamless and easy.
A very comprehensive tour of the Duomo square. The small group size made it feel very personal.
I saw people waiting for 2 hours while we walked right in. If you value your time in Florence, book these tickets.
Seeing the David in person is emotional. The guide explained the 'Prisoners' statues which I wouldn't have understood otherwise.
Very clear instructions on where to meet the guide. The audio headsets worked perfectly even in the crowded gallery.
The Duomo interior is simple but the history is fascinating. Our guide was passionate and spoke perfect Spanish.
The combo ticket with the Uffizi was a great deal. Everything was organized perfectly via the vouchers we received.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Yes, as it is an active place of worship, you must cover your shoulders and knees. Hats must be removed upon entry.
Highly recommended. Tickets for the Accademia, especially to see the David, often sell out weeks in advance during peak season.
No. Climbing Brunelleschi's Dome requires a specific timed-entry reservation which is included in many of our premium tour packages.
During summer, queues for the Cathedral can exceed two hours. Skip-the-line tickets allow you to bypass this line entirely.
The Accademia is fully accessible. However, the climb to the top of the Dome and the Bell Tower is not accessible due to the narrow historical staircases.
Tours generally run rain or shine. The Accademia and the interior of the Cathedral are sheltered, though walking between sites may require an umbrella.
Yes, the statue inside the Accademia Gallery is the original masterpiece by Michelangelo. The one in Piazza della Signoria is a replica.
Photography without flash is generally permitted in the Accademia. Inside the Cathedral, photography is allowed but restricted during religious services.
Most tour operators accept mobile vouchers on your smartphone, though some specific packages may recommend a printed copy just in case.
