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.
Once in a lifetime experience

5.00Just incredible place! Our guide did a great job of touring and giving us information about Duomo. Since we skipped the line, we initially had more privacy and additional time to spend inside. Amazing architecture and art! Be ready for crowds outside!!!!

5.00Our tour guide was well spoken, engaging, professional and knowledgeable. It was a huge advantage to spend time with her to learn about the Duomo and then to enjoy the experience of climbing the dome. If you want to visit the Duomo, this “Skip the Line” tour is definitely the way to go!!!
