The calibre of the museum and its display is some of the best that we have experienced. The presentation of the artifacts and the interpretation was superior. Would highly recommend it as a must see when visiting Florence.

The highlight of my trip to Florence was certainly the San Marco Museum. I particularly liked seeing Fra Angelico's painting of the Annunciation, as well as all of his frescoes in the convent cells upstairs on the first floor.

Museo di San Marco is not crowded at all although it is very close to the Accademia where there are dense crowds waiting in the street to seee the David. The painted frescoes of Beato Angelo at San Marco are stunning and there is quiet time and space to see them. I arrived 30 minutes ahead of my scheduled time of 10am and went in early. No one else was there.

We had some trouble finding parking and navigating that so we were a few minutes late to the steps, and the gentleman let us right in at the front of the line, which was so nice! What a beautiful property, totally amazed at the Pisa tower and also the fallen angel statue.

Climbing the Pisa Tower that I have read about as a child and wanted to see up close for such a long time was an incredible experience.

Entry was easy, which was good because 2 in our party are handicapped. There was seating to rest, and ramps with handrails that made moving around easier. And while the David exhibit was busy, it wasn't too busy to get clear views of the details. A great experiene.

The guide did not work on my cell phone because I needed it in SPANISH and it was only in English.
I had to pay for an audio guide in the museum in SPANISH to enjoy the visit.

The museum is beautiful. Huge, you have to go with time. I bought tickets with time limits but there doesn't really seem to be anything or anyone that counts how long you are inside. The audio guide is also very good, but I bought another audio guide at the door of the museum and I think it is much more complete, I recommend buying the audio guide on site. I had no problems with the tickets, highly recommend the experience!

My absolute favorite stop of my trip. Even though I have been before David still brings me to tears. Aside from David the museum has so many incredible pieces that are truly an honor in person. A trip to Florence is not complete without visiting la Galleria dell'Accademia.

Lorenzo had great knowledge of the area and was extremely personable while also being professional. We appreciated explanations of the local plant life and history of the area. We had good recommendations for places to visit and future tours.
The hiking tour in the hills were better than expected. Nice views of the valley and countryside and woodlands.
