Excellent experience! Kiara was a suburb guide, very knowledgeable. Many steps and narrow passages. The view from the top of the Duomo was spectacular!!
It was an amazing tour!! The views from the top of the Duomo were amazing, and our tour guide Lorenzo was so full of knowledge and passion for Florence! Worthwhile for the 400 steps!!
Very knowledgeable guide; the view from the top is amazing!! Stairs weren’t bad at all. Loved the tour
Great adventure and knowledgeable guide. The steps are a little tough but worth the view. The view was amazing.
Very knowledgeable. Had a great time. Steps are a little tough but worth it for the views. We had a great guide
Our guide spoke from the heart and knew so many details about the history. Skipping the line was well worth the price. Truly enjoyable experience
Great experience with a very informed and personable guide. The view was totally worth the climb.
Was a Good experience, i find It expensive and would have been useful for us to know that we couldnt go to the toilet during the tour
Marta was an excellent tour guide. Articulate and friendly, made our tour easy to follow, educational and a fun. Staircase/dome climb is not as hard as it looks especially with some stops on the way up. Highly recommend!
This is a great way to climb the skip the line and climb the Duomo - a must see in Florence. Our experience was seamless.
Great experience. The tour guide was knowledgeable and spoke slowly which made it easier to understand. You need to be in pretty good physical shape, it’s a long way up!
Lazaro Is a good person and beatiful experience
My Husband and I had the best time learning about the history of the duomo. It was so informative and just the right amount of time. The climb was so cool to witness (definitely a bit tight) but so worth it for the view and to see all the parts of the building.
We were impressed at how much this tour included. After the museum, church and climb we were able to visit the crypts and the baptistery with the same ticket. And our guide was great
This was an excellent tour that included the museum as well as the duomo. I like the pace, and the history at each stop. It was incredible walking the balcony inside the dome before making the final climb between the one and outer domes to the top coppola.
Excellent experience! Lorenzo did an amazing job and I would highly recommend him as a guide. He kept things moving along at a good pace, was very knowledgeable and also added personal details that made it seem like he genuinely was enjoying talking with us. This tour is not for people who are out of shape because the climb up is difficult. If you are afraid of heights, you should not do this or if you’re claustrophobic because some of the walkways are very narrow.
Great tour with wonderful guide! He was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. I would recommend this tour to anyone .
Lorenzo did an incredible job with both historical info, pacing of the tour, and also personal opinions about the surrounding area and recommendations for additional places to visit. Perfecto!
It was well organized & interesting. I appreciated all the text reminders too. Our male tour guide was excellent too. I think his name wss Lawrence.
Amazing tour and Lorenzo is the perfect guide. I recommend this highly but possibly not a good idea to climb the dome for people with claustrophobia or fear of heights.
Lorenzo was amazing. Super friendly, knew everything and answered every question someone had in our group. Highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Chiana was great! She was very knowledge and humorous. She prepared us for the steps so we knew what to expect. We really enjoyed the tour.
Tour guide was excellent. He told the story of the building of the Duomo as if he had lived it. His attention to detail made the tour perfection. We have been talking about him days after this tour has completed. Truly an expert in his field.
We toured the Duomo, the Terrace and climbed the dome. Our guide was wonderful, friendly and very knowledgeable. We learned about the Duomo, the dome and general Italian history as well. As part of the tour you skip the entry lines, walk in roped off areas of the Duomo and you are the only group out on the terrace. We were also the only group in the inside of the dome while looking at the frescoes. Not being with crowds made the tour even better, well worth the ticket price. Our ticket was also good to enter the Reparata, The Baptistry, The Bell Tower and the Museum for the next 3 days (one entry per place).
Our guide was so knowledgeable and left us with a new appreciation for the Duomo!! Truly an unforgettable experience!!
Lorenzo was an excellent tour guide and this was a great experience! This tour was definitely worth the money, we got priority access so no lines, Lorenzo taught us so much about the Duomo and everything surrounding it and was very friendly! The tour went for about 2.5 hours and was a small group so didn’t feel too ‘touristy.’ Highly recommend for solo travellers, pairs and families!
Lorenzo , our guide, was wonderful. His knowledge of the Duomo and all the interesting facts he shared was great. The walk up to the dome was the best part and view was beautiful
Everything was fabulous. The guide ( Laura) was knowledgeable. The museum and duomo were amazing. Laura had vip entry to everything. We were like rockstars. No lines. Great experience
Excellent tour and guide. Learned quite a bit about history, construction, and significance of the Cathedral. Walk to top of some was amazing. Loved skipping the very long line. A must booking.
We had a lovely guide named Laura. She showed us so many interesting things. Well worth the cost. The climb can we strenuous. But there are little stops along the way.
What an incredible Cathedral! Wow! We met with our tour group and Lorenzo was a fabulous guide. He had a depth of knowledge about the Duomo, Florence and the people and history of the area. He enjoys his work and creating a personal connection and great experience for each visitor. He even climbed the 463 steps to the top of the Duomo! Highly recommend the tour and want to say Thank You to Lorenzo for an incredible memory to look back on
Lorenzo was incredible. So smart and kind and fun. We were very nervous and he taught us so much and also helped us navigate the stairs! I promise it’s not so scary! You should absolutely do the duomo climb.
Had a very knowledgeable guide who was an art history major. He did a wonderful job explaining the church history and other historical sites to visit. Loved skip line perk.. worth the price.
A morning well spent. We have started with the Duomo Museum - this helped enormously with being able to absorb visit to Santa Maria del Fiore and Climbing the famous Dome. Our Towns of Italy guide was knowledgeable, friendly and professional- kept the group together and interested. Thank you Towns of Italy.
Lorenzo was wonderful, the entire experience was memorable and informative
We had an amazing time, Lorenzo our guide was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Specially when we would walk in, while the line to get in was around the block. Just for not wasting our time in the queue, the cost was worth every penny.
Great tour, lots of stairs, small passageways, wear comfortable shoes. View is spectacular at top of dome and as you approach the top levels, you can see the size of the frescos at the tops of the dome, truly magnificent.
Guide was excellent and patient with our group. Duomo climb was rough, but fantastic views.
It was definitely a cardio workout to get to the top, but it was worth it. But once you get to the top of the Duomo, the views of Florence are fantastic.
Sybil was a wonderful tour guide with much knowledge and enthusiasm.
Francesca was an excellent guide!! 10/10 would recommend
francheska was awesome!! lot of information and i would suggest a breakfast so you can climb the dome
So much great information from our tour guide. She is highly educated (two masters degrees), kind, and passionate. Her enthusiasm is infectious and her knowledge deep (she grew up in Florence). Not sure how to spell her name. She said we could call her Laurie. If you take this trip be sure you are healthy enough to climb to the top of the dome - it is so worth it!
Climbing was a good workout but worth it Views across Florence amazing and our guide had great historical knowledge of the Doumo build
Very informative and well organized. Climb was tiring but fun. Great views from the top. Guide was terrific. Spoke great English and very informative. You need this tour especially with the large crowd in and out. Great to skip the line.
So cool to join the keymaster to open the Duomo and turn on the lights. We were the only group in there for 30 minutes! The climb to the top was exhilarating with amazing views at the top. Very knowledgeable and personable guide!
Definitely worth it! I really enjoyed the entire experience. I would suggest you pace yourself for the climb, with the temps and small space it can be overwhelming for some. The guide was great but wish she would’ve slowed down so we could understand with her accent. Having the guide to navigate us through those large crowds and skipping the line is the way to go-book now!
We had a really good experience on the Florence Duomo & Terraces tour, including the first-entry Dome climb. Our guide was wonderful—knowledgeable, thoughtful, and incredibly kind. Unfortunately, the heat made the climb more difficult than expected, and we only made it to the exit a few levels above the terraces. Our guide was so understanding and supportive, which made a challenging situation much easier. We would definitely recommend this tour!
We had a great tour with Maria Katrina today! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared lots of interesting information. We learned so much and really enjoyed the experience. We would definitely recommend this tour when visiting Florence!
