Cracking visit to the Duomo - The tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Debora was really informative and knowledgeable. I definitely got far more enjoyment out of my visit because Debora was able to provide interesting stories, history, and explanations of the techniques used by the artists.

Great tour of the Duomo - Great tour today with our guide Debora. She is very knowledgeable and the information she gave us really brought the story of the Duomo to life. Thanks also to John for his help in reorganising things for some of our party - went above and beyond the all of duty to help.
Don’t miss the climb to the top of the Dome.

Duomo climb and Museum - We are spending five days in Florence and took the tour of the baptistery and the Duomo climb. Our guide, Anastasia was knowledgeable, energetic and answered questions. We had a great experience. The climb and the door was a very unique opportunity to see the dome. We also toured the museum and came away with a much better understanding and appreciation for the history and culture of Italy and specifically Florence.. We had high expectations and this tour did not disappoint. If you get a chance to do the Duomo climb do not be intimidated as there are resting points to the 463 stairs we loved it.

Above and beyond caring about helping strangers enjoy a magnificent part of Florentine history! - Just wonderful! We were lost and late to meet the group, my partner was absolutely exhausted from working before flying 8 hours to Florence, but Anastasia came like an angel out of no where and found us outside the baptistry! She showed us things and told us history about the art we never would have known without the tour. This small group tour is well worth the money-there is no way an average person could know where to go let alone appreciate the history behind the art. I highly recommend this service because they went above and beyond to help us when we were late and lost. John texted me, sent directions twice and ensured that we made it even though Anastasia had to begin the tour without us. Such kind and wonderful people!!

A Duomo must! - My mother and I booked this tour a week before we went and it ended up just the two of us and Francesca, our tour guide. Perhaps just luck but the exclusivity added greatly to the experience.
Francesca herself was a fantastic guide, providing insight and interesting facts we certainly wouldn’t have known otherwise.
We first walked round the duomo, entered and explored the baptistery, entered the museum and finally climbed the duomo.
The tower climb and crypt entrance you can do within 3 days of the initial tour which turned out to be a life saver as the tour and especially the dome climb does sap your energy (especially in the summer heat). We ended up doing both the tower and crypt the following day after some rest.
Francesca, thank you for a fantastic experience, couldn’t have asked for more!
Would 100% recommend this guided tour to anyone wanting the full experience of the duomo as well as the insight knowledge to the secrets it holds.

Michele was the best guide! - This tour was worth the price and then some. The museum has very few English placards, so the tour guide filled in all the blanks! The museum allows one to experience the true works from the external buildings!

Anastasia - A++ guide - Anastasia made our tour wonderful. She was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all of our questions not related to our tour. She was very engaging and kept us interested from start to finish. Furthermore, she was punctual and kept a good pace, and got us set up to climb the dome at the conclusion of our tour.
Of course all of the sites were stunning, but we had a wonderful tour guide make our experience great!
