Short and sweet - our... - Short and sweet - our tour guide was great and gave us just the right amount of info in about 30-45minutes, then sent us off to do the climb (included in the price). We were also in a special part of the duomo that is reserved for tour guides so were able to skip the line

Skip the line for a cool experience - Booked this tour day of and it was incredibly worth it. Not only do you skip the line to the cathedral but you’re in a roped off area so it’s not nearly as crowded. Then you climb the steps of the Duomo.
The brief 30 minute tour of the cathedral is what it is but in the summer heat where it’s much cooler inside, skipping the lines is worth it alone.

Worth the climb! - Climbing the dome is the best part. Disclaimer: 463 steps to the top using narrow and very steep stairs. The spiral sections of it may make you dizzy. But the reward with the views from the top is incredible!

Do not book - We had to cancel because we had Covid and this company showed no remorse. This was an outdoor walking tour in 95 degree heat and now we are out over 200 euros because we have Covid. They don’t care about customer service at all. Not even credit.
