5.00Our Duomo Cathedral guided tour was informative and well organized. The guide explained the history of the cathedral in an engaging and easy-to-understand way, pointing out details we would have missed on our own
Disappointed with this tour

1.00We could not locate the tour guide, and received conflicting information from each official we approached. We never did find the tour and had to buy new tickets as my daughter had her heart set on seeing the Duomo
Dishonest marketing about skip the line self entry.

2.00I purposefully wanted to avoid a guided tour, and just get a skip the line ticket. Alas, upon arrival, they informed me there was no such thing, and I was assigned to a guided tour group. The line was significant, close to an hour. The guide was alright, but not what I intended and allegedly sold.
This was a great tour,...

4.00Guide was excellent; earpieces needed rubber to not slip out and the reception distance was so small that you had to really work to stay near the guide; packed a lot of learning into just an hour which was good in the heat of summer.
Disappointing

3.00I booked for 9.30 entry. Met the Viator rep at 9.15. At 9.30 the guide took us to a queue for entry. I then discovered the Duomo did not open for us till 10.15?? It took about 10/15minutes to get to the Duomo entrance. So my 9.30 entry was 10.30...queuing for 1 hour...and we were in the Duomo approx 30 mins so the sale of this ticket was very misleading. However the guide Patricia was excellent and very informative. And the Duomo is definitely worth visiting.
Duomo tour in Florence was very enjoyable.

5.00Tour guide was energetic and did a good job explaining the tour. This tour was 2/3 outside the cathedral with guide explaining history of the facility, and 1/3 inside the cathedral.
Visit canceled without refund.

5.00With the guided tour there is no ‘skip the line’ entry. But the tour group uses the time in the line to tell you about Italy, the city and the beautiful exterior of the church. Before you know it you are inside and they are describing the rather ‘basic’ inside of the church. The duomo is a must see if visiting Florence.
