5.00If you're looking for a short tour, this is the perfect balance of the Accademia museum emphasizing the David statue and finishing with the bell tower with optional climb. Great view from the top!

4.00Worth getting tickets to skip the lines. Hiking the bell tower was super fun! Seeing David was amazing, but the inside of the Duomo was a bit of a let down as we didn’t get to see much of it.
Great tour

4.00With two kids (8 and 11) we had a very pleasurable experience. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and seeing the real David at the Accademia and hearing all the stories was great! The Duomo was beautiful and so was the crypt.

3.00Visiting David was amazing. Our guides knowledge and information was exceptional! No visit to the Cathedral or duomo itself which we expected. I feel the description was misleading for this tour.
Worth it!
