We arrived at location and were directed to a special location, skipped the entry line up and through security before all the hundreds of people who had not gotten their advance tickets. The Palazzo Vecchio was spectacular. We have been to Italy three times and this was so helpful having the pre booked tickets.

This is the second time that I have taken this tour (others in our party hadn't taken it before). It's a fascinating insight into the life of the palace in Medici times, and I would thoroughly recommend it. (Beware, there are a few stairs to climb!) The guide was superb - clearly passionate about his subject, challenging us to consider the meaning behind pieces of art and happy to answer any questions. If you're undecided about this tour, let me make up your mind for you - do it!

Excellent tour with a friendly, very knowledgable guide (Francesca). So much better than just wandering around rooms staring at the walls. Lots of little, memorable details provided.

Very interesting tour where we saw things you wouldn't see normally. I'm happy that there was other info than just Dan Brown stuff, all the historical info was very interesting. Giulia was a good guide!

The palazzo is beautiful and visiting the secret chamber was extraordinary. The guide was really good and explained all the historical background very well. Best visit in Florence!

I was not aware of this tour until I visited the site. It was very much worth booking. We visited areas not generally open to the public and learned so much about the Palazzo. Highly recommended.

We would like to thank a lot the BEST guide we ever had, a Young french man (cannot remember his name, with pepper ans salt hair :), around 30 years) : he was extremly helpful in giving stories, making clear some wrong ideas we had and teach us a lot of valuable and memorable things. We were so interested he thought we were Art student, no we only love Italian renaissance style ! We would love to keep in touch with this man and get an email if he is agree, or his name and last name, we never know we could visit him one again and ask for his service longer... However thank ticketitaly for this amazing experience: it was only our group in il palazzo vecchio for our secret visit, and enjoy "la salle des cinq cent" alone is UNFORGETABLE!!!! Thank you everyone !
[Tickitaly responds: thank you for your comments - we contacted the organisers for you and we've passed on his reply and contact details by email:"J'ai bien reçu votre appréciation et vous en remercie beaucoup. Les retours de ce genre sont très précieux, et pas seulement pour briller aux yeux de la hiérarchie, c'est sans doute ce qui d'un point de vue personnel nous encourage à continuer dans le domaine de la transmission! N'hésitez pas à me contacter! Bien à vous, Yan Blusseau"]

The tour of the Palazzo Vecchio was extremely interesting. Our guide Stefano told us many intriguing details, and was able to answer all of the visitors' questions. We had a thoroughly enjoyable morning!

Where do these reviews come from?
About two weeks after you have used your tickets we send an email asking you for your feedback on tickitaly.com and on the individual attractions that you visited. We ask our customers to give us and our tickets a rating out of five stars and to write a short review - all of these reviews come from people that have bought tickets from us.
Why are there more stars awarded than reviews?
Many of our customers opt to award stars rather than write a review.
Why do some reviews have a ? instead of stars?
Some reviewers opt to write a comment but don't enter a star entry. These are sometimes positive and sometimes negative - we include these reviews in the listings after the starred reviews, but we don't include them in the overall ratings.
Where is my review? I can't see anything in the list?
Each review is checked by our staff in order to avoid posting inappropriate content or personal details, and to see if the customer has had a specific problem that needs to be addressed. In most cases these reviews go online with their star rating and any comment that has been made. In the cases that there is an issue that we have to address, such as refunds or specific complaints, we flag the review for response. In those few cases, any star rating is immediately taken into account in our ratings but the actual review is only posted once we have resolved the issue or had an opportunity to respond. Any editorial comment will be clearly highlighted like this: [Tickitaly responds: .....].
Are these reviews real or have you faked them?
All of the reviews and star ratings have come from people that have purchased tickets from us. We are very proud of the service and products that we provide, but obviously we aren't perfect and sometimes things go wrong. Once we have addressed any problems that a customer has had, we will process the original review (although we reserve the right to fix minor typos like ticketitaly).
If a review contains offensive language, abuse or personal insults, we'll publish the stars but omit the text.
