Does this tour run every day?

Will the tour still run if the Accademia Gallery tickets are sold out?
Yes, we will offer you an alternative venue in the event that the Accademia Gallery is sold out on your preferred tour dates. Please do book early, most visitors to Florence wish to see Michelangelo's David statue and tickets sell out in the summer months, at Christmas and during Spring Break & Easter periods.
What are skip-the-line tickets?
For this tour, your tickets are pre-purchased which allows you to skip the ticket office line upon arrival at the museum. You may still have to wait in a security line or in a line to have your pre-purchased ticket scanned.
Does Context buy children's tickets?
We only buy adult tickets for our Uffizi tours because people with reduced price tickets have to wait in an extra line and show their ID. In order to save time, we purchase skip-the-line standard tickets so families may enter as quickly as possible.
There are 10 in my group but your website won't allow me to include more than 9 participants. Can't you make an exception?
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate groups larger than 9 people due to venue reservation restrictions. If your group is larger, we recommend you split into multiple groups.
