VIP tour, would recommend

Published on Dec, 2024

Great experience! Loved getting to hear all the history of the duomo and we felt like VIPs getting special access to the terrace. Brian was a great guide and offered so much knowledge about Florence and its history. A lot of steps, but they are broken up into sections going up which made it super manageable.

Well worth it, even the climb

Published on Dec, 2024

Brilliant tour & our guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable & would highly recommend this tour. Be warned if you are a bit wobbly with heights as you climb the Duomo you go back inside the dome and it’s a glass barrier. I had a sweaty palm moment but the view of the ceiling more than made up for it. Awesome tour

Lots of steps, but worth it for the view

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide was excellent for this tour. I want to say her name was Veronica, but maybe that's wrong. She was passionate about the history she was showing us. The views were amazing! There are several stairs you have to climb to get up there (over 400), but it's worth it. There are several sections you can stop and take a break if needed.

Definitely Visit The Duomo

Published on Dec, 2024

Veronica was very knowledgeable- she knows the history of the Duomo as well as the art as well as the artists. We were not able to climb the tower with the group but I’m sure that would have been rewarding as well

A must in Florence with Veronica.

Published on Dec, 2024

This was a great tour. Veronica our guide was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information. She was also very accommodating to everyone in the group as we made our way up the many stairs to the dome. We highly recommend this tour with Veronica.
