Hello, we are trying to determine how big the crowds will be in the last week of November. We only have two full days in Florence so I don’t want to spend it standing in lines. I will gladly pay for the Firenze card even if isn’t “cost effective” just so I can skip the lines. But here is the question... are there any lines the last week of November? What kind of crowds should we expect in Venice, Florence, and Rome that time of year? Thank you.

I used it in mid-November (right before Thanksgiving) and it was great. The Uffizi had enormous lines and the Accademia moderate ones. I am purchasing it again on my upcoming trip this November. I don't like to be locked into reservation times if I can help it.

I'm assuming you're most concerned about the lines for the Uffizi and Accademia ( 2 world famous museums on most people's must see list), and possibly for the dome climb. These are going to have long lines practically year round. If the Firenze Pass doesn't make financial sense, then at least buy advance tickets for these.
Overall crowds in the cities may be less in late Nov, but the tourists are still going to be concentrating on the major tourist sites. So advance purchase tickets for the Vatican, Colosseum/forum still make sense. And still mandatory for the Borghese Gallery. I don't think we've ever bothered with advance tickets for the usual sites in Venice in the off season.
