1.00Have taken many viator tours including in Italy. Worst we have ever experienced, both in terms of the guides knowledge but also attitude. Have complained and they managed very badly. The tour was only 5 people and halfway through tour, the male guide got annoyed with two people (not in our party) who wanted to take a photo so walked off and left them. Didn’t bother waiting or looking. He seems annoyed. Have complained and Viator haven’t tried to help.

5.00Totally worth it! It was so peaceful and quiet entering the cathedral before opening time and the rare VIP access to the terrace was such an experience. Manita was a very passionate guide. Really enjoyed our time with her. The visit to the opera del duomo museum was eye opening and Manila’s detailed explanation made the visit so much more meaningful.
Wow! A Duomo Must-Do Tour!
