“Wonderful and Knowledgeable Florence Guide” - We had a wonderful tour in Florence with our guide. She was sweet, calm, and incredibly knowledgeable. She explained the history of the Duomo in a way that was both engaging and easy to follow, making the visit truly special. Her warmth and passion for the city made our experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

The tour guide was... - The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and kind. We were allowed into the church straight away and were able to ask any questions we wanted. Super simple; which was nice considering all the crowded chaos of outside the church.

No line and with information - Although - and maybe that's why - it's a quick visit, it doesn't justify staying in line for so long, in the sun. And the guide was very polite, spoke low, but very well articulated. The girl from the meeting point is a sympathy only.

Good Tour of Il Duomo - The guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. A good tour in a small group. Had time to look around independently afterwards.

Don’t pay for the audio app. And skip the included museum. - The tour itself was great. And I loved skipping the line. Well worth it! I gave 4 starts because the tour comes advertised with free entry to a museum which is a free museum anyways. We paid the premium for an audio/app that we were never able to figure out how to access.

Take the dome trip if you can, otherwise this one - We had a great guide. I have mixed feelings about the tour because the real beauty is the outside of the church except for the underside of the dome. But to really see the dome you have to take the dome trip to at least the upper level which was barely accessible when I did it in my 50's and not something my wife or I would do in our 70's. For my wife's first time, this was the only option for her to see the painting on the underside of the dome.

Short overview of the Duomo and its history - This is a very good option if you have limited time to visit the Duomo. I would recommend walking up the stairs to the dome for magnificent art work and view of the city. The tour does not include this climb, but you have ample time to explore on your own.

The guide place to meet... - The guide place to meet is far from the the church. So we didn’t make it. We tried to write 5 min before the tour, to meet up with them however, no answer. That’s poor, because we could have easily catched up. Goodby 40 euros.
