Breathtaking views. - Giana, our guide, did a wonderful job both showing us the most interesting sights in/around the Duomo, but also mixed in stories to help bring medieval Florence to life. Her command of the English language was adequate, and she worked hard to ensure we understood her stories. The buildings were amazing and the views from the top of the dome are breathtaking.

Unforgettable dome complex tour! - It was my first time in Florence and booking this tour was my best choice ever! I enjoyed it so much and it was a nice point that they didn't make us queue to go inside the dome with the heat outside and we could enter directly. Moreover, you could tell that our guide was passionate about her job and all of us wouldn't mind to repeat this amazing tour again! 100% recommended

Unbelievable experience in a beautiful Florence - Me and my friend decided to explore Piazza del Duomo with all the monuments, and luckily we found a tour "Complex Tour of Duomo" in which we visited the famous Museo dell' Opera del Duomo as well as Battistero di San Giovanni and Cupola del Brunelleschi. We liked it so much and we appreciate the guidance of our guide Giacomo, who did a brilliant job!

An Exceptional Tour Guide - We did the "FLORENCE DUOMO TOUR:all the monuments of the complex" tour this morning with a private tour guide. My wife, daughter and I were all amazed at how knowledgeable and capable our guide was. Her English was excellent and I had no struggles understanding her. ( I often do struggle with variations of English that aren't Texan)
I would hire her again in a heartbeat for other tours in the Florence area.

Saved a lot of time doing the tour!!! - Florence was so crowded Easter weekend that a taking a tour was the only way to get to the top of the Duomo. We loved the climb and the view - not bad at all. The lines would have been hours to get into the Duomo church as well - wrapping around the building. That said, even with the tour, we didn't have time to get into the Baptistery after standing in line with the guide for 30 minutes.
The tour guide was good. Very knowledgeable and nice.
