Educational & Fun - The tour was well organized and our guide Claudio (a proud citizen of Florence) was well informed and witty as well. He made the tour fun while learning the intricacies of the Duomo, & Baptistery.

Excellent tour - Well narrated tour of the exterior and interior of the Duomo. A much closer view of the altar and frescoes than a regular admission ticket.

A must do experience - A 2 hour tour around and into the Duomo. Excellent knowledgeable guide and skip the line access. The line outside was long and not too much explanation inside so this was very worthwhile.

Not to be missed tour - We booked this tour the night before when we saw how long the lines were to get into the Duomo. This was one of the best decisions we made. Claudio was an excellent tour guide. We learned so much from him and his sense of humor made the tour very enjoyable. We were able to walk right into the Duomo with no wait and got much better views of the items inside. Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour - Great tour, Claudio was a fantastic guide who clearly knows what he is talking about. Very informative and well done. You get to skip the massive line into the Duomo and walk right in to a private area which was awesome.
