Excellent Tour of Duomo Museum and Cathedral Tour - We had a 2.5 hour tour of the museum and cathedral with Frederica. She was excellent!!!! Our headsets worked very well and we were in a small group. She made the artwork and history come alive for us. Everyone in our family was fascinated by this tour and guide. Very professional company and meetup instructors were very straightforward. Highly recommend!!!

Excellent, a true skip the lines and crowd’s experience - Really excellent experience. We went with teens and adults and all said they had loved it. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave time for questions. The climb although not easy was achievable and really worth it. The views were breathtaking. We also had time on the internal walkways and roof without crowds which was really special. Definitely the way to experience the Duomo on your visit to Florence.

Excellent tour. Our best experience! - It was my best decision to book the early morning tour with first access to Duomo. We were at Florence during the summer heat with daily highs in the upper 90's. Hence, the early morning tour served us very well, given that we woke up early anyways due to jetlag, and the temperature was perfect. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting background stories first. When we went into the Duomo, we got a chance to capture the first array of sunshine when it peeked through the stained glass in the stillness of dawn. Quite a surreal view. Then we trekked 463 steps in the narrow stairways, quite a morning exercise for me. But when you get up there, the view was STUNNING! Wear very comfortable shoes and bring water. It's not hard, but you need to pace yourself climbing that high. Well worth it!!

Can’t miss out on this Duomo tour - Comprehensive overview of the Cathedral, Duomo and surrounding landmarks. Our guide was exceptional and knowledgeable. Calm, patient and kind with the group. Views were definitely worth the work of going up over 300 steps to the top.

Pleasant visit to the Florence Cathedral - It's worth the price for the explanation of the history and art of the façade, the Duomo, and the skip-the-line experience you'd have to endure if you didn't come with tickets purchased in advance. The climb to the Duomo was time-limited, understandably so since there were a lot of people waiting to get in. A very pleasant experience
