A true skip the line small group experience

5.00A true skip the line experience. Once inside the Dumo we had access to quiet cordoned off areas, in a crowded venue, where our guide could explain interesting details and field questions. Our guide was very knowledgable and engaging.
Spectacular Tour of Duomo in Firenze

5.00Claudio gave us an incredible tour of the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, Opera Duomo today. He shared so much history and did it so well that I didn't want it to end. The 90 minutes went by so fast. I could have done another 90. I learned so many things. His tour was packed with knowledge that it's obvious a true Florentine (or history major) would only know. And he shared it all in such a kind, friendly, professional and thoughtful manner. I wish it wasn't my last day and I wish I'd taken more tours with "Florence Pass" and Claudio. I've had great tours all around Italy for 2 months now and I rate this one #1. You will not be disappointed with a tour like this especially if you are curious and love learning new things!
Must tour to understand the duomo.

5.00We scheduled our tour last minute and we couldn’t have been happier. This is a family run company and Claudio (our tour guy) was phenomenal! For an hour and a half he provided information hand over fist and handled all of our questions with ease. Highly recommended. Thank you Claudio!!
Definitely worth it - learned a lot!

Great tour and a good cause

5.00This was a great tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the Duomo and surrounding buildings (which were actually altered to help show off the Duomo). He pointed out all sorts of architectural details, talked about the different visions of the designers and architects who worked on it, etc. Also, if you are wondering about “skip the line” the line is HUGE and this tour takes you in a side entrance that basically cuts through the line to get you in. So you go about 3/4 around the outside of the building and then go in. Further, if you go this and pay, at least a part of the money goes to the cost of maintaining the building. So you don’t have to pay to go in, but if you do you save HOURS standing in line, get an incredibly knowledgeable guide (probably the best I’ve ever had - and I’ve traveled the world) and you contribute to a good cause. Highly recommend doing this.
Incredible value, incredible guide

5.00The tour exceeded my expectations. Claudio was amazing and I appreciated the breadth of his knowledge. The price for the quality of the tour was an incredible value and I would tell anyone considering this tour to stop looking now and BOOK IT! It was one of the best tours we experienced in Italy.
Great tour

5.00Terrific guide (history major) who provided continual insights on all three structures including the history of their development - much time outside which was great as the outside of all three buildings is spectacular but plenty of time inside that covered numerous history lessons (both art and political) - was well worth investment (even to just avoid the lines)
