Worth the time and money
Paul_L

Being able to stop on the terrace and get that view of the dome and the city was worth the price. Our guide was knowledgeable and very nice. The walk up the dome is a bit arduous but absolutely worth it. You can get the same tour without the guide and terrace visit for a lot cheaper, but you will wait in lines. The Pieta in the museum is stunning!

The view from the top was great. Definitely don’t go up to the top of the dome if you are afraid of heights. Beautiful experience!

Wonderful Dome Tour!

My husband and I loved this tour! Our guide was able to provide a lot of history about the Dome and cathedral, and he kept the information interesting and humorous. It was great to bypass the line and enter directly inside the cathedral without waiting. The climb to the top of the dome was our favorite part—The view is breathtaking and worth all the steps!

I enjoyed the Duomo tour; however, the tour guide left the tickets at the meeting spot so the tour felt a bit rushed and she was on her phone trying to coordinate the tickets several times throughout the tour.

Very disappointing and overpriced

Best part of this was skipping the line and access to the cupola. The guide, danielle, was awful. She clearly did not want to be there. She lacked basic information and provided nothing new or of interest. Absolutely nothing significant or detailed about brunelleschi’s architectural method or genius. I suspect that she is office staff replacing a scheduled guide. This was an expensive tour ticket and we expected much more.

We had a fantastic time on this tour - especially walking the balcony behind the locked gate. The Duomo itself is an incredible creation, and seeing it up close was very exciting.

Must-do in Florence!

Highly recommend! Our tour guide was absolutely awesome - she was extremely knowledgeable and helped to explain everything we didn’t understand. She was able to answer all of our questions and taught us a lot about Florence’s history - not just the Duomo. She took us to amazing sights in the complex that we would’ve missed otherwise. Was a major highlight of our entire Europe holiday!
