Great, great and great! - Nice general tour of the cathedral with some history. Next the climb. Only 400 something steps 😅. Nice stop at the balustrade area near the top of the dome, perfect for seeing the painting and the old windows up close. If you are afraid of heights a bit challenging. But the view from the top is breathtaking. 👍👍

Great tour! - This was a 30-45 minute guided tour of the Duomo. Our guide was informative and answered all our questions. If you dare attempt to climb the steps to the top of the Duomo, the view is amazing.

Once in a lifetime experience - Just incredible place! Our guide did a great job of touring and giving us information about Duomo. Since we skipped the line, we initially had more privacy and additional time to spend inside. Amazing architecture and art! Be ready for crowds outside!!!!

Excellent Experience with Wonderful Tour Guide - Our tour guide was well spoken, engaging, professional and knowledgeable. It was a huge advantage to spend time with her to learn about the Duomo and then to enjoy the experience of climbing the dome. If you want to visit the Duomo, this “Skip the Line” tour is definitely the way to go!!!

First tour with all ages - We were the first tour of the day and were in the church alone. Lovely! The guided tour itself was only 30 min but very informative! Then the climb after was so fun. My son in law carried his 1 yr old in a sling and my son carried the 2 yr old up and down. We all made it including my pregnant daughter. We were ages 1-70 yrs old.

Highly recommend - We had a great experience with this tour. I was with my husband and 11 year old daughter. We booked an early tour at 10:00 and were the first group in the Duomo. It was quiet without all the other tours happening at that time and we had the place to ourselves which seems unheard of. The tour guide was informative and interesting. The climb to the top challenging but worth it.

Beautiful experience - Beautiful structure and info was valuable. The tour host spoke a bit low so it was difficult to hear everything. Ker knowledge was great, however. The climb to the dome was epic’
