The climb is worth it! - When visiting Florence you have to visit the Duomo! And there is no better tour than this!! Elena was our tour host and we can’t say enough nice things about her! She was knowledgeable, funny, interesting and very passionate about this beautiful city and, of course, the Duomo! The view of the frescoed dome and the sweeping city scape were amazing!! The lines to get in were tremendous - it was worth the price to skip the hours we would have spent waiting! Plus, we wouldn’t have gotten so much great information from Elena!! Loved this day!!

Brian is a great tour guide and the tour is amazing!! - This tour was amazing...a tour of a lifetime and if you are able and willing to navigate many stairs in a tight environment, DO IT!! The views were astounding and the history provided by our lovely tour guide Brian (yes, he is half Italian, half Dutch) was uncompromised! It may seem pricey, but it is worth the expense....what a grand experience!!

Great Experience - We enjoyed the Duomo Tour very much. Our guide, Francesca, was extremely knowledgeable and genuinely passionate to share stories of the art and artists throughout the tour. Be forewarned though that the steps up to the roof top are extensive (470?) and steep. If you or someone you are traveling with is not physically capable of making the climb, you may want to reconsider this tour. Again, a very interesting tour with an exceptional Guide.

Excellent tour and guide - The 463 steps to the top were not easy, so get in shape! Tour was very interesting and the painting on the ceiling was remarkable

Duomo tour like a VIP. - We had Francesca as a tour guide and she was awesome. Very knowledgeable and fun! The tour was everything we hoped it would be including “skip the line” which was HUGE and made the entire experience even better. The view from the top of the Duomo was amazing as well as a close up look at the ceiling mural. Wow!!

Duomo, Museum, Dome Tour - Tour was fantastic. Helena (guide) was informative, engaging, and did not overwhelm you with excess information. Great balance. Dome climb was a highlight with great views. You must have good physical mobility to complete the climb. Overall a great experience.

A climb well worth it! - 463 steps to the top of the dome. The first 150 steps are the hardest, then it gets better, with an incredible view on the outside of the dome waiting. I was concerned about the climb but more than happy I made it. I’m 69 years old and my wife 73 and we both made it. The museum was stunning and the inside of the church is a must see.
