A history lesson!!! - Anastasia made the experience so meaningful. Her knowledge of the Duomo and the history was insightful. I will say, the climb was intense but the experience was beautiful! She also went above and beyond in giving sounds recommendations. Thank you Anastacia.

Great learning experience. - Francesca is a wealth of information. The two hours we spent with her went by very quickly. You have 3 days to see the cathedral and climb the tower on your own. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to do so. We did enjoy the climb up into the cupola. The view is worth the climb.

Excellent experience, highly recommend . We had also the bell tower and going up into the duomo included. - Anastasia did an excellent job walking our tour thru history of the Cathedral of Santa Maria di Fiore and overall important historical background of Florence and the role Medici family played in the city. She was extremely knowledgeable and took a good care of our group.
