Beat the line is the go in summer!
Our guide was passionate and knew her stuff. To be honest this church rivalled all the other churches we had already seen. Some famous people buried in it and a story behind each. This is well worth it while in Florence.

An absolute must see and for only 8 euros a bargain! Lovely respectful atmosphere with so much beautiful architecture and interiors to admire. Stunned to find tombs of Galileo and Michelangelo, really quite special. Followed the signs outside to beautiful cloisters which were just charming. A highlight of our trip and not too busy or too touristy. Highly recommend.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Matteo as our guide through this breathtaking church. It turned out to be just my husband and me in our small group, which allowed us to ask Matteo numerous questions, all of which he skillfully and happily answered. The church itself is one of the most astonishingly beautiful I have ever seen. Beyond its role as a "Star of Fame" as a final resting place for famous Italians like Michelangelo and Galileo, the artwork inside is truly stunning. Absolutely worth a visit.

We had a delightful tour with Sarah at Santa Croce. Having a knowledgeable tour guide makes all the difference. It was fascinating seeing the people buried in the church, more Medici influence and the beautiful church and chapels.

This church is incredible. There are so many historically important people buried within it! Once you figure out who your guide is everything goes pretty well. These guides do NOT hold up flags, or pennants, as the listings say they do, be warned about that. But the guide was knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. I would recommend the tour!

We missed the tour because we arrived too late (our fault not knowing how to get a taxi). The tour guide went out of his way to find us and give us tickets to enter and we went through on our own.
