- 1The Uffizi Palace was commissioned by Cosimo I de' Medici and designed by Vasari (16th Century). It has a unusual U shape, which is closed towards the Arno. The two wings of the palace are connected by a corridor with six big arched windows, facing the Arno and the inner courtyard. Nowadays the building hosts the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most visited museums in the world, collecting masterpieces from the 13th to the 18th Century. The very beginning of the Uffizi Gallery was the collection of Francesco I de' Medici; The collection became “public and inalienable good” thanks to Duchess Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici whose will it was that it would be open to the public forever. Today, the Uffizi Gallery is one of the most important museums in the world, with new acquisitions and gifts. Using the elevator at the entrance of the museum is reserved for people who have special needs – including temporary – and the maximum capacity is 6 persons at a time.

- Antionio100 contributionsWorth a visitIt's well worth a visit. One of the best sites to see in Rome, a city where there are many upon many sites to see. Get a ticket in advance. We had to wait three days for tickets.Written December 1, 2024
- GOINGDO123450 contributionsDon't go thereInside you can see a part on the floor, all rooms and walls are empty. There are a few frescos in a main chapel. There are several terracotta bottles or floor ceramics. Don't waist €7 tickets and yours time.Written November 27, 2024

- Alan T0 contributionsA must see if you like opulence and tasteThis may have been the most opulent yet tasteful house we have ever visited. We have traveled for 50 years seeing Versailles numerous country houses in England, château in France. other houses in other countries, including a Newport, Rhode Island USA. They all are obviously homes of rich people with way too much money to spend. However, in this case, the money was very well. Spent with an emphasis on good taste as well. We hart ally recommend this on visit to Rome if it all possible.Written November 20, 2024

Such a thoughtfully-curated exhibition full of information as well as an artful journey through the Ferragamo design process. And of course, the shoes! The photography of old Hollywood is incredible.

After booking months in advance, 24 hours before our booking you advise you cannot get tickets after saying “you will accept our terms or else!” And now you want ME to arrange a refund after YOU cancel. Ridiculous. Do NOT use this tour operator.Written October 23, 2024
- S1531GFrobertb0 contributionsThe angel bridge is undergoing work and not visible but the Castel is impressive and still worth a visit.Our apartment was close to Castel Sant'Angelo so we passed it every day. The skip the line ticket was great and we accessed everything from below ground to the roof. It was far more interesting and varied than we'd expected as it has a great history. Worth learning more about it beforehand if you don't book a guide. The views from the roof across Rome were amazing. Visit took about 90 minutes, and we loved it. Couldn't rate this a 5 as the bridge leading to Castel was boarded both sides, and all the angels were under scaffold and covers, undergoing work for the Jubilee next year. Don't understand why the whole of Rome is currently undergoing work at the same time, and many landmarks such as fountains not fully visible. Would have been great to get the full effect of the Castel from the angel lined bridge. However, we got great photos day and night from all angles, of the Castel. Impressive, and the musicians and artists around the area made it a pleasant place to visit, followed by a riverside walk.Written October 21, 2024
- Jose P0 contributionsGreat view of Rome, well located, the River and the Vaticano are really close. The history of the place is good too.Better than expected, I thought the building would be more deteriorated. A little hot in the museum rooms and the bar/ cafeteria was closed.Written October 12, 2024

Booked timed tickets for Uffizi gallery for July 26 on Trip Advisor on June 15 and received an email from some 3rd party vendor saying my tickets would be issued 2 days prior to event.
I was informed today that tickets are not available and they were cancelling my reservations.
Ridiculous! Why didn’t they secure the tickets at the time of booking. Seems pretty clear to me that Trip Advisor does not vet these vendors.
I am very disappointed and will not book through Trip Advisor again. Booking through your hotel concierge is a better way to go.

good morning
we are sorry for the inconvenience but, as you can see from other visitor comments, when we confirm the DATE (guaranteed on the site) but the earliest available time (as per the conditions of sale) people are often not satisfied. For this we have refunded leaving the possibility to buy tickets on the spot. In any case, your visit was not confirmed, your request was confirmed

Tldr; Museum great, agency not.
We booked a slot at 9.30 am which was confirmed a few days later. We had thus made arrangements later that day, but a day before the visit, we received an email supposedly with a link to our tickets. The link led to an empty pdf and so we contacted the agency who asked us to send them an email to which they replied with the tickets. However, in the evening, i.e. the evening before we expected to visit the museum at 9.30 am, we had a closer look at the tickets. On the tickets, our entry was supposed to be at 1.30 pm, 4 hours later than expected. As soon as we discovered this, we tried to contact the agency, who did not reply until around 10 am the morning after. Their reply was on the lines of that it was not possible for us to enter at 9.30 am despite having had a confirmation email from TripAdvisor/Viator, and that our slot was at 1.30 pm. Luckily for us, we had already gone to the museum who were so kind to grant us an early entry. The museum itself is amazing, but please do yourself a favour and choose another agency.

hello we are sorry you didn't appreciate our acitvity and our assistance when VIATOR system didn't send your vouchers. however, the service you reserved has specific caratheristics I recall to you as published on VIATOR:
IMPORTANT NOTE "The time you select on the order form is your preferred time. The museum or attraction will automatically confirm the closest available time, which can be ANY TIME during opening hours on the selected date, if your preferred time is no longer available."
So the service you received is exaclty what you bought. We are glad you appreciate the visit.

The day before we were to take this tour, I received an email cancelling us. The tickets had been reserved and paid for well in advance and since this is a very popular attraction, this cancellation left us scrambling to get into the museum. I spent an hour trying to find alternative tickets for the only day we had for this activity with no luck. We had to change other plans and arrive at the museum when it opened to try our luck. I have never had an activity cancelled the day before and it makes me wonder about such an unprofessional action. My advice would be to steer away from this company - there are far more reputable operations to use.

good morning, we are sorry for the misunderstanding but access is only possible with the confirmation code from the museum itself. Since it was not possible to confirm the requested time, even though it is within the terms of sale to confirm every time of the day, we prefer to refund in full what the customer paid to enable him/her to purchase the ticket at the entrance at the preferred time, without creating disturbance to the day's programs.good morning, we are sorry for the misunderstanding but access is only possible with the confirmation code from the museum itself.

This is not actual tickets. You are paying for the tour operator to source the tickets, and they wait until 2 days before to buy them for you. If they are not available they will cancel your purchase. By that time all tickets for the days of our visit were sold out.

Tickets were issued for the incorrect time. I booked for 11am and received a confirmation well in advance of my trip. The actual tickets were emailed to me the morning of my visit, but they were for 1pm. I didn’t even notice the error until I was in line and couldn’t get in until the time on my ticket.

DO NOT BOOK…Our tour was cancelled less than 24 hours before we were supposed to go. We booked and paid for these tickets in March 2023! Now we can not get tickets because they are sold out. Also, have not yet received a refund, which I understand could take 4 days. Not happy.

as you were told, your reservation was refunded because it was impossible to confirm the indicated time. Even if the conditions of sale of the service allow us to confirm every time of the day requested, we prefer to leave the customer free to purchase the ticket at the entrance, at the preferred time, rather than confirming a time other than what was requested, creating an inconvenience to the customer. agenda for the day

We reserved tickets for the Uffizi one day and the Accedamia the next. Both tickets were printed off at the reserved ticket window at the accademia, and we waited just a few minutes at each gallery to get thru security. So happy we booked in advance as there was a long line to buy tickets.

I purchased skip the line tickets for Uffizi Gallery as our time was limited. We arrived to the gallery with bar code to claim tickets. We were then told we had to queue to collect them. We queued for over an hour to collect the tickets and then had a further wait of half an hour in the queue to get into the gallery. We would have been better off getting in one queue to just buy a ticket on the day. We paid more for beat the line tickets and waited just as long, if not longer, as people who had not purchased before hand. The gallery is fabulous, but the experience to get entry was a disappointing one.

So skip the line ticket yes. Do not worry about guided tour. There are those great guys with red tie who will sign you up for tour. Usually you have to wait 1 hour. It was so worth it. Guide was great. He was combination of Rick Riordan and Dan Brown. The Gallery is breath taking. There is so much to see but guide will touch most important pieces with great stories behind it. I learn a lot. May be you can request the same guide Hayk Gregorgyana. Pure awesome

I tried to book tickets a month in advance through their site with Headout. I mistakenly put in June instead of July, and noticed it the second I hit submit. I contacted them right away, letting them know of my error, and asked to move to July instead of June. They refuse to change my tickets, and I reserved for NINE family members. I'm now out 207 euro.
