A ‘Must See’ Experience in Florence

Another not-to-be-missed experience. There was a line but it was worth the wait. It’s magnificent. Don’t miss the ruins downstairs.

This was not skip the line. They would not let us in and our only option was to stand in line after 700 ppl in the burning sun. Still waiting back from Viator for refund

No guide- just buying a ticket that has been sold out. Essentially reselling the ticket. You will still wait on line, but it moves quickly. The Catherdral, Bell Tower and Crpyt were captivating and wonderful. Gorgeous views, stunning art work and engineering.

Milan city tour, Dumo, lunch

It was fun. In the city of Milan, the riverside shopping street I didn't know was interesting and I could shop for clothes and many other things.

Made it to the top.

Lovely experience, including the 414 steps to the top of the bell tower. There was a queue for the skip the line access so I would get there for around 9:30am if booking the early option

Skip the line…

Skip line is great. It does not mean you won’t wait in a line. It just means you skipped the very very, very long lines.

Don't choose this one.

Doors don't open until 10:15 even if you have any earlier ticket. There is no skip the line. You have to stand in line for everything.

False promise

There is nothing about skipping the line about is accurate. We got to the cathedral at our scheduled time and the line was all the past the cathedral. I see no point paying for skip the line when you don’t skip any lines to enter a free entrance building. AVOID THIS

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We always recommend that guests arrive at their scheduled time because, before the cathedral opens in the morning, visitors begin lining up and the queue naturally grows longer until the doors open. While there may still be a line, the reserved entrance queue is typically much quicker and shorter than the general admission line at the main entrance. It's also important to note that the benefit is not only the skip-the-line access, but also having your tickets secured in advance. Tickets are frequently sold out, and your pre-booked reservation guaranteed entry and helped you avoid the disappointment of finding no availability on the day of your visit. We appreciate your comments and hope this helps clarify the advantages of the reservation service.

Visit to St. Baptiste and the museum.

Ticket for entry to the cathedral, the Baptiste, and the museum. Disappointed because the Baptiste is under construction and the museum is closed.

Operator response

Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre que votre expérience n'a pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Nous tenons à préciser que les travaux de restauration en cours au Baptistère étaient clairement mentionnés sur la page de l'activité avant votre réservation. Ces travaux sont gérés directement par l'administration du site et sont indépendants de notre volonté. Concernant le Musée, il est fermé le premier mardi de chaque mois. Cependant, votre billet reste valable 3 jours à compter de la date de visite choisie. Vous pouvez donc visiter le Musée le lendemain ou un autre jour pendant sa période de validité. Nous comprenons votre déception et vous remercions pour vos commentaires. Nous nous efforçons toujours de fournir des informations précises à l'avance afin que nos visiteurs puissent organiser leur visite en conséquence.

Too expensive.

The supplier sent us the tickets via text message and we had a SIM card without data. They made us arrive 20 minutes early at a specific door. There is a wait. Dear to pay for a supposedly skip-the-line ticket. It would have been much cheaper to buy my tickets myself. The cathedral is impressive as well as the baptistery and the museum. But I feel that I paid too much.

Operator response

Merci pour votre commentaire. Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre que votre expérience n'a pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Veuillez noter que le contrôle de sécurité est obligatoire pour tous les visiteurs, quel que soit le type de billet acheté. En haute saison, la cathédrale est l'un des sites les plus fréquentés de la ville et les procédures de sécurité peuvent prendre entre 10 et 20 minutes. Malheureusement, ces contrôles sont gérés par l'établissement et aucun vendeur de billets ne peut les contourner. Concernant le prix des billets, il est vrai que les visiteurs peuvent acheter leurs billets directement lorsqu'ils sont disponibles. Cependant, les billets sont souvent épuisés à l'avance, surtout en période de forte affluence. Notre service inclut la réservation de billets à l'avance afin que les visiteurs puissent venir à la date de leur choix sans craindre de ne pas trouver de billets disponibles. Ce service de réservation et de gestion est inclus dans le prix du billet. Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez apprécié la cathédrale, le baptistère et le musée, et nous vous remercions d'avoir pris le temps de nous faire part de vos commentaires.
