Great, great and great! - Nice general tour of the cathedral with some history. Next the climb. Only 400 something steps 😅. Nice stop at the balustrade area near the top of the dome, perfect for seeing the painting and the old windows up close. If you are afraid of heights a bit challenging. But the view from the top is breathtaking. 👍👍

Great tour! - 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.

Once in a lifetime experience - Just 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!!!!

Improvements needed re pre information - Really good but feedback for organisers: Need to state where meeting point is. Be consistent on dress code. On my guided tour I was asked to change the blouse I was wearing before going into the Duomo as it was felt it didn’t sufficiently cover my shoulders. Others in there were in strappy tops and shorts. If you are claustrophobic don’t go into the dome.Steps leading up there extremely narrow with lots of people. Take lots of water!

Beautiful view - Very handy that you can skip the queue. The guide is waiting at the entrance and together you can walk inside. Once you're inside, the guide leaves. It is highly recommended: you have a beautiful view!

We took the tour that... - 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.
