5.00This wasn’t one of those “take a photo and leave” places. I actually stayed longer than I planned. The atmosphere makes you want to pause and just absorb everything around you. The audio guide felt like a quiet companion, not a lecture.
We paid to beat the queue...

2.00We paid to beat the queue and queued for 1 1/2 hours. We couldn’t hear the commentary till in the cathedral as too far back.
Efficient tour. Great guide.

5.00This was very well organized and for Florence a good use of time management. Our guide was very well informed and seemed to truly enjoy her job and made it a fun experience for us. Even for people like us who are sick of churches in Italy, this one is worth a visit.
Emanuella was superb. Highly recommend

5.00Well worth the money. Emanuella was friendly and very knowledgable. Highly recommend. The line looks very long but it is not.
Patricia was excellent.

5.00This does not shorten the queue. However if you are lucky enough to get Patricia as your guide, she is very entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about Florence the Medicis and the duomo. From start to finish, she was able to answer every question she was asked and did so with great humor. She is a very funny lady, and I would be happy to do the tour again just to have fun with her. She seems to know everything about history and architecture, and seems to be able to operate in multiple languages. In all, I was so happy to do this tour and so happy with Patricia.
Waste of time

1.00We spent more time standing in line than on the tour. Our guide stayed upfront the entire time speaking to only the folks in front answering questions and never made her way around to engage with the rest of us. We were inside only 20mins. Not worth it.
Not worth the money, do the free version and wait in line!

1.00I hate to leave one star, however, I would really save your money on this one. It’s very misleading for the length of time. We stood in line for about 1 hour 40 minutes, and then the tour was maybe 5-10 minutes long. The information shared with you is interesting, however, I suggest waiting in line without a tour as it’s free and just reading a little about it before you go in. Save your money. If you do buy a guided tour, it looks like climbing to the top of the duomo would be worth it instead. It was also very hard to understand our guides English.
Skip this Tour and Visit on your On

2.00I would not take this tour again. We had to wait in line with all the other ticketholders and once we got in there was not that much information to be gained. We probably spent less than 20 minues in the actual cathedral, and as beautiful as it is outside, there is not much inside. If I had to do over again, I would skip this tour, and visit on my own.
Enjoyable
