    We took the tour that included climbing to the top. Climbing to the top was incredible and this part of the experience was 5/5 stars for sure! My regret w this tour was that we only got a short guided tour and then were taken to the stairs. After climbing the stairs we were not allowed into the cathedral to see more it. I wonder if the other tours provided a more complete tour of the cathedral. I was disappointed by how little I actually saw of the cathedral and that is why my overall number of stars is lit for this particular tour.

    I was skeptical but it was on time, the guide was great. It was a manageable group, informative but not too much. The climb to the dome was a bit more challenging than anticipated but worth the effort!

    This was a 30-45 minute guided tour of the Duomo. Our guide was informative and answered all our questions. If you dare attempt to climb the steps to the top of the Duomo, the view is amazing.
