A tour well worth the climb. - This was quite an experience! I hadn’t actually realised the importance of booking ahead until I saw the queues and this tour was well worth it. Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly (Sivelia I think) and made it seem easy and gave us lots of time and was happy to take our photo. The tour itself was way more than I thought, and we were so surprised to hear we were going outside on the Dome. It could be challenging for those with bad knees as there a lot of steps and it was hot inside! But the view of Florence was amazing and well worth the effort. I would definitely recommend this tour company for this trip.

highly recommended - if you want to tour the Duomo, avoid the long lines and learn some history of this remarkable building, do this. Yes, it costs more but why wait all that time in line?

Excellent tour you must do. - Highly recommend this tour. Gives you additional access to the terraces and the Cupola. Marta was an excellent tour guide. Very informative. The climb to the top was worth it. Don’t let the amount of steps to scare you. You’ll be happy you did it. Thank you, Marta l for such an amazing tour.

Must-do experience! - Chiara was our tour guide and she was great! It was the perfect amount of time too. She was funny (provided the history and background in a cool, fun way!) and was accommodating of the group’s comfort level to climb up the tower which was super helpful!

Delightful Duomo - We climbed the duomo and visited the terraces with Marta our tour guide. Marya was absolutely wonderful, she was so lovely and her vast knowledge was amazing. We would highly recommend a tour with towns of Italy the whole experience was faultless and very professional. Thank you Marta it was a pleasure to meet you.

Best way to tour the Duomo - Our tour guide,Chiara, is excellent. She grew up in Florence and shared some stories about what that was like. She gave us a good overall history of the Duomo and Florence . She has a great personality, she was relaxed with a good sense of humor. Climbing the inside of the dome was a highlight (once we were there!) with great views. It is worth skipping the long line, getting to hear the history and getting to see the dome paintings from a closer perspective. I highly recommend this tour with Chiara!

Culture and recommendations - The duo’s experience is linked to the copulation is an experience that you should not miss if you also do it accompanied by a guide as glory that teaches you not only history but also mixes it with curiosities and unpublished aspects is more than recommended.
