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!

5.00Wow! This is a must-do when visiting Florence! The history combined with the special access to the Duomo and its terrace was literally breathtaking. Kyra was a fantastic guide during this tour and made our experience fun and magical. Highly recommend this tour!!!
The terrace view was amazing

5.00Well worth the extra expense to have access to the terrace surrounding the roof and to skip the very++ long line queuing outside. The guide helped explain the sparse interior of the Duomo and we were able to walk along the internal balcony to get a unique pertussis of the church floor and nave. The Baptistry roof is completely obscured by scaffolding currently which was disappointing.
Amazing experience in Florence

5.00We were so glad we took a tour and didn’t just go see it ourselves. Our guide, Jade, was great. Friendly and informative. We learned history, skipped the lines, had amazing private views, and our ticket let us also climb the bell tower the next day. Well worth it.
Great memory maker

5.00A phenomenal tour that took us to the terraces where many other tour groups do not go. You can climb the bell tower on your own time - your ticket does include access to this but not to climb the dome. We got to see the museum and the baptistery (though this was mostly under renovation). Our guide was wonderful and informative. Would definitely recommend!
