We purchased this combo tour because we wanted to get the city walking tour as much as we wanted the Accademia. We met our guide at the designated location, which was easy to find and near the Accademia. Our guide was a local who had great enthusiasm for her city and its art. We started with some background as we walked to the entrance of the Accademia. Unfortunately, we did have to wait in a group line to enter. This took about 10 minutes or so. Be aware, homeless are very aggressive asking for money, even while in line waiting, they will approach you. Also, some street vendors lay their "posters" on the ground for unsuspecting tourists to walk over, and then demand you pay for them. In fact, right outside the exit to the Accademia is one place this occurs. Our guide did a nice job of setting the scene for our tour here at the Accademia and David. She didn't just walk us right to the statue, but talked about the museum, Michelangelo and his history. Then she took time to discuss the history and intricacies of the David. We then only had about 10 min for the rest of the museum and the gift shop, I would have like a little more time as there were some other things to see. After the Accademia, we took about an hour walking the streets of Florence and seeing the other main sites of the city. She took us through back alleyways and gave history of the older parts of town and as well as the markets and plaza's. We stopped to look at the statues in Piazza della Signoria, as well as passing by the Duomo. The tour finished with information about Ponte Vecchio. Our guide was wonderful, inciteful, and positive. It was a great tour. I was frustrated by my other companions though. We received information letting us know that guides expected tips, but I did not see many others giving tips to her. This is disappointing as its pretty customary to do that, and the company even communicated it. The only downfall for Tiqets, is that there are SO MANY tours available on their app from so many different companies, that it takes some time to sift through all of them and find the one that is best for you.
