Highlights
  • Piazza del Duomo - The Duomo square offers a breathtaking view, especially at sunset, when the sun’s rays ‘light up’ the polychrome marble of the buildings that form the religious complex of the city: the Baptistery, the Cathedral and Giotto’s Bell Tower. In fact the chromatic homogeneity (green, white and red) beautifully harmonizes a stylistic variety.

Informative, Educational , and Fun - This was a great experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and demonstrated a genuine passion for both history and architecture. Without him, it would have been difficult to navigate the lines and fully appreciate this magnificent structure.

Illuminating. - Sandro’s explication of Michelangelo’s Nicodemus was an art history class in itself. And it was obvious that Sandro, steeped in art history was prepared to answer our questions, some of which were quite arcane.

Amazing knowledge, stunning beauty - The cupola, Baptistry, and museum are, in and of themselves, stunning and worth every Euro. What made them even more spectacular however, was the context and history provided by our guide, Eva. Her vast knowledge of the history of the region coupled with her commentary on the symbolism behind the art made this less of a tour and more of an experience. I highly recommend booking a private tour with Accord.

Guide didn't meet expectations - Our guide did not add much to our experience. She had a lot of info to share, but it was recited rote, and her accent was extremely difficult to understand - Eastern European? I love history, art, culture... but I was bored by her presentation.
