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.

A very enjoyable visit. It’s beautiful to be able to enter a cluster that’s been waiting for hours to clearly see - Our guide was very enthusiastic and very explicit. He told the whole history of the church very seriously in no time. The stained glass and ceiling fresco are impressive.

The Duomo, a wonderful experience - Vivian was our Guide during the English tour. A born lady from Florence who speaks fluent English. Fast track was indeed fast. So directly into the beautiful church through a separate entrance. Nice explanation of the construction, the clockwork, the rivalry between the master builders and the surrounding cities. The sponsors were also put in the spotlight with some sarcasm. The dome must have been seen inside. That in half an hour or as much longer as you want to stay. We really appreciated this.

Great family friendly way to see the Cathedral - We appreciated the in-depth knowledge our tour guide had for the Florence Cathedral. If we had gone without this tour, we would have stood in line for up to 2 hours (in the hot June heat). Not to mention, we would not have had the history of this gorgeous cathedral. I highly recommend booking this tour! We also got free access into the museum next to the cathedral that is a history of the "EMS" service in Florence. It was a great exhibit highlighting nice art that had been donated, as well as a history of emergency workers/volunteers in Italy.

Well worth it - Excellent guide and bonus of skipping the 2 hour line outside. Only 45mins but covered the main interesting features. On your own to live as you wish.

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.
