Great value to get access to many places but do it in your own schedule on multiple days as you wish - It’s perfect if you just want to skip lines and do tours on your own. Big time saving. Plus the tour guide explains a lot prior the entertainment of the dome so really just perfect if you want to manage visiting different parts of the dome in your own tempo and schedule.

Great explanation from the tour guide before going up to the Dome - The view from the top of the dome and the tower were wonderful. Also the fact that we didn’t have to wait long in line was a huge plus

The best guide we had - We have done several tours while in Venice but Corinne really stood out as an excellent guide. Knowledgeable, friendly and clear she imparted much that was useful as well as informative. I’m only sorry we had already visited the other sites with other operators .

Very informative - Very informative tour of the Duomo Piazza. I thought this tour would have been inside the Duomo, but it was almost entirely just explaining the entire piazza and architecture of the cathedral - which was really really interesting! The ticket included a climb to the top of the dome, entrance to the cathedral, entrance to the museum and entrance to climb the bell tower. We did not bother to stand in line to enter the cathedral because we saw it as we went through to climb to the top of the dome, but also it was a bit underwhelming in our opinion! Our tour guide, Claudio, was fantastic.

Beautiful view of Florence - Tour guide was very knowledgeable and the climb was wonderful but we chose a time at the end of the day. I did not realize that the cathedral and tower would be closed. So we did not get to utilize our tickets since we were leaving the next day.
