She’s THE BEST! - The best part was Camilia, she was so knowledgeable and charming, the best tour guide we’ve ever had. She is also an art restorer which makes sense.

Duomo - We thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour. Viator went to extra effort to get us joined with our group since we were running late. Everyone was very nice, the tour guide, Maurizio, was great and the tour was interesting.

Outstanding - We had Claudio as a guide and he was truly superb - a local historian who was full of relevant information and insight. We were given privileged access to parts of the Duomo that other visitors were not allowed to enter. We all found the tour very moving. Outstanding!!

Imprecise details of tour provided - We booked on the assumption that it was a tour of the inside of the Church. When the guide told us that the first hour of the tour was outside the cathedral we realised we would not be able to go on the tour to see the inside as we had already a booked slot to go into the Ufizi which meant we couldn't do both. If the Duomo tour made clear that the 1st hour was walking around outside I would not have booked. Bitterly disappointed customer.
