My grandson and I will be in Rome from 21 March through 30 March, and are planning a 1 day trip to Florence on Thursday, 27 March. Does anyone know if there are combo tickets available for the museums in Florence? We don't want to go to Uffizi. Our main interest is the David at Accademia, possibly the Medici Palace, Duomo and Baptistry, Santa Croce Church (Michelangelo's tomb), Piazzale Michelangelo (free). There are several agencies in Italy that sell tickets/reservations on-line, prior to our leaving the States. Are they all pretty much the same, or would you recommend one or two? Thanks for your help. I need to get this taken care of by tomorrow, and then I'll be able to make our round trip Rome/Florence/Rome train reservations.

The Accademia and the Uffizi are the only museums that you really need to book ahead of time and since you aren't interested in the Uffizi that leaves the Accademia. I just walked into Santa Croce Church and the Duomo. I don't know of any combo tickets for Florence, sorry.

You don't need a reservation for the Duomo either. You just stand in line. Your grandson may want to climb the 400+ stairs to the top of the Duomo. If yes, it's a different entrance around the left side of the church. You can do this as well if you feel up to it. If no, give him the camera. Great views.
BTW, one of the best museums is the Duomo museum. It's across the street from the left rear of the Duomo. It's called the Opera Del Duomo Museum. No opera in there but it does contain the treasures of the Duomo and Baptistery over the centuries. It's in the RS book. We actually enjoyed this museum much better than the Uffizi.

Ask your hotel in Rome to make the reservation for you. If they won't make the reservation call direct and speak to an English speaking operator. From the US & Canada: 011 39 055 294883

Anson,
The reply from their mails erevr looks a bit weird, not like soemthing coming from an anti SPAM server.
Are you from HongKong?
Maybe they just blcok certain IP addresses.
