Spend the bucks just do it - Wow spend the money and do this. The climb is not easy bur so worth it. We were a small group of six Stephano was our guide and he was excellent. Then the terraces beware narrow walk ways fantastic views. The cherry on the cake was being the last people in the cathedral so peaceful and the inside is quite plain compared to the outside. Then the locking of the doors excellent. Just do it.

Worth every 367 steps! - Chris was such an amazing tour guide. And we had no idea we were gonna be privy to such secret spaces in the Duomo. It was educational, breathtaking, and spiritual all the same time. We are so glad we did that.

Amazing tour!! - It was a little difficult finding the tour. With call to Viator and an amazing customer service agent, we found our tour. Our guide was knowledgeable beyond what is required for the tour. We walked to the top of the duomo and all the platforms surrounding the cathedral. Amazing views. So glad I took this tour - it also included a non-guided to the top of the bell tower.

Stunning - Amazing experiences being on top of the Duomo and almost alone. Our guide Giada was extremely knowledgeable, sweet, and able to explain everything in a clear and simple way. Being on top of the city is breath-taking

Take this tour! - The small group, and access to the terraces and chapel floor without the crowds was special indeed.. The views of Florence at sunset is breathtaking. Giada, our guide, was very knowledgeable and pleasant!

Well Worth the Money - Great way to experience the majesty of Duomo without crowds and in an exclusive setting. We enjoyed the info and seeing the city of Florence at sunset and in the dark of night. Our guide Gaida was very accommodating and informative. A side note is that if you do this tour in the fall winter or early spring, the view from the terraces will not have much daylight because you start the tour at 5:45.

Fun Experience - This was an enjoyable experience. Climbing the Duomo stairs at night and seeing the church with less crowds was worth it.
