This tour was exactly as... - This tour was exactly as expected. We easily met outside Duomo and was able to skip the whole line. We had a great 30-45 minute tour inside. Definitely recommend for a quick, easy visit to this beautiful site.

Good value short tour - Genuine “skip the line” tour - we entered promptly through a dedicated entrance. Very good guide Viviana was very knowledgeable and gave us a very good history in the short time. A lot better than some longer tours we have done.

Perfect for us! - This 30-minute tour was perfect for our needs. We wanted an overview of the Duomo while being able to avoid the long lines for visitors with regular tickets. And then, at the conclusion of the tour, we were allowed to remain in the Duomo and look around on our own. The tour guide was knowledgeable and easy to understand. Bonus for us - along with the tour, we were provided a free ticket to the Museum of Misericordia which we took advantage of. Very interesting history of this organization.

Very good tour. Explains a lot in little time - Silvia was great. She explained very thoroughly and was very sweet. Answered all questions about the cathedral and gave some great tips about Florence. Always nice to get a tour from a local and she is the best of the best. I like that she focused a bit on each piece and explained each fresco and the ceiling art.

Just OK tour, but do not recommend - Guide was just OK. Failed to even mention and to show Gates of Paradise. Tour was pretty short and she had to whisper inside the Duomo, making extremely difficult to understand her story telling.

We had a private guide... - We had a private guide but she didn’t even speak English very well. Very hard to understand. Not worth the extra money for a guide. Definitely something you can do on your own.

Sorry we missed it - We had a Viator tour that ended at 3 at the Uffizi and accademia but due to the weather it ran over 1 hour so I Sent a message in Viator that we would have to cancel. I know it was not your fault but also I missed the duomo. I got a not from you offering another time. But we left Florence. I wish you could return my points I earned with Viator.

Very Busy and disorganized. - Florence was so busy, packed with people and we missed our tour. We had another tour booked in the afternoon and the same thing. People were waiting for hours with skip the line tickets and could not get in. Very hard to find people at the meeting spot.
