No Duomo

3.00It doesn’t include skipping the lines for the Duomo. In fact, you don’t even go inside the Duomo, you walk around outside and talk about the architecture but no inside the duomo or Bapistry. The title of the tour is deceptive. Our tour guide Annette was fantastic but I was disappointed to not get inside the Doumo or bapistry.
Just as described!

5.00With only a day in Florence this tour was perfect for me to see the Accademia and the Uffizi without having to wait in long lines! Our guide Stephanie A was excellent, there was no question she didn't know the answer to, and she gave great directions for where to find more works in the Uffizi after the tour had finished!
Knowledgeable entertaining guide.

5.00Our tour guide Matt was very passionate about the history and the information he was sharing. He was captivating! We really learned a lot and enjoyed the history behind all of the art. Matt was engaging spoke clearly and he was very easy to understand. We thought he was great and we really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it.
Great tour but wish museum order was reversed

4.00I thought I was signing up for an Academia and Ufizzi tour with Academia first then Ufizzi. But we started with Ufizzi which meant we could stay after the tour to enjoy the museum. Instead we ended at the Academia and honestly I only wanted to see David so more time there was not attractive. We got a brief tour of the area too. Our guide Angelo was excellent and made the art we saw have do much context. I just really, really wish I had been able to see more than 8-10 paintings at the Ufizzi and that the tour had stuck with the advertised order of museums.
Duomo, David, and Uffizi Gallery Tour

5.00Wonderful four of Florence including the Duomo, the David and Uffizi Gallery. Our guide, Matt, was personable, friendly and entertaining. His passion for the art of Florence was evident. He expertly guided us through the crowds to the best vantage point to view each piece. This tour is a must to get a taste of the art of Florence and the background of the Duomo.
