We did uffizi academia and the shul/museum all in one day as well. It was a little pricey but I do believe it was worth going to both museums. What is also cool in academia is they have some unfinished Michelangelo sculptures which kind of lets you see how they were crafted which is kind of amazing.
At 18 EUR/pp? That doesn't seem too expensive to me.
How would you rank them?
i think we paid for reservations which was another 5-10 euros pp

I just heard back from Giovanna from the Jewish Florence tours. She offered to do a tour (3 hours) for 35 EUR/pp. We are not going to take this tour though, due to budgetary concerns, but I thought I'd let everyone know if you're interested.
Hmmm she quoted me 50 eur as a student discount, but otherwise wanted like 65eur. Maybe on your day there's a big group going anyway so she lowered her price?
No, actually, she said it's normally 50 but she can go as low as 35. She also specifically said there was no group on the day I'm there, but she could arrange a mini group for us. It sounded like she really wants business.
Wow lol that's very different from what she told me.
I don't know why, but if you're interested I can contact her for you.
I think I'll just go with touring the Shul and Academie myself. (Will probably skip Uffizi.)Thanks though
Same here. Are you planning on going to Siena at all?
The shul is unbelievable. Museum not so much. Really a must see
Does anyone have the email address of the tour guide?
