Climb the Dome, Own the View: Duomo Complex Tour Pass
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Skip the line and dive into Florence’s Duomo Complex—the heart of the Renaissance.
This small-group guided tour isn’t sightseeing. It’s fire.
The Baptistery blinds with Medici gold. The Museum unleashes Michelangelo’s fury. The Cathedral façade roars with Dante’s Florence. Every stop hits like a scene you thought you knew but never lived.
Then the choice:
⚡ Express — the teaser. Fast, sharp, shocking. Baptistery + Museum + façade. No filler. Adrenaline only.
⭐ Giotto Tower — the thriller. After the tour, the climb begins. Steps pound like war drums. Legs burn, lungs scream, Florence detonates beneath you.
‼️ Brunelleschi’s Dome — the finale. The forbidden climb. Reserved slot. 463 steps of sweat and obsession. And then—your moment at the top. Florence explodes 360° around you. More epic than any movie, more brutal than any test.
This isn’t sightseeing. This is survival. This is glory.
⚠️ Dome spots are brutally scarce. Once they’re gone—they’re gone.
Book now. Regret forever.

Lot of Confusion in beginning but turned out great

4.00Signed up for this because title said "Climb the Dome" but then the day before got a message saying actual admission to climb the dome would be another €109. The operator must have gotten a lot of blowback because he then included the dome climb which was a great experience. Seeing the Babistry and the Duomo Museum were well worthwhile. However, the title and description need to be a lot clearer.
Excellent!!

5.00Excellent tour including a climb to the top of the duomo. We had a great guide. We had the option to also climb the bell tower, but we were satisfied with just the climb to the top of the duomo

3.00Tour guides was nice, gave good info, the museum was great however felt rushed, no duomo info or climb with group, no 2 hrs in church explained either due to festival. No one told us when booking there was a festival or offered partial refund since we missed half the tour we paid for. Random wine festival closed church inside and there was no way we could have looked this up or known. The tour guide didn’t even know what the festival was til he asked someone else. Church was closed inside so couldn’t do crypt either & no time to go back. After the duomo climb 475 steps, we decided against the tower climb. Might be a good tour but we didn’t get full experience. Top of duomo was amazing.
