3.00We 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!

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.

5.00This 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.
