Has anyone been on this tour this year? I am trying to organize sightseeing in Florence and the office can't really tell me what time we will arrive in Florence, although the tour description seems to imply lunchtime. Do I dare schedule a 1:30 tour of the Accademia? I realize there are no guarantees, but what has been the typical experience - won't hold anyone responsible if you say you got there at 1 and my bus breaks down - just want a general idea.

We did the My Way 13-day Italy earlier this month - - Fantastic trip! We arrived in Florence around noon and had time to eat a sit-down lunch and wander before our 2:30 reservation at the Accademia. Just FYI, our escort recommended an early morning reservation for the Uffizi the next day (although we had already gotten a noon time which was the earliest they offered us). In Rome we are SO glad we toured the Vatican Museum first thing in the morning. We sat in the Sistene Chapel for 20 minutes with only moderate crowds. When we walked back through later it was packed!
