Informed and fun guide! - Our hostess (whose name I wish I could remember, but it has been a couple of days!) was INCREDIBLE! She was witty, well-informed, passionate, and so very personable. She looked out for everyone in our group, found a connection point with every group member, and was a joy to be around.

Fabulous tour - The rooftop and duomo tour was fabulous. The tour guide, Daniel, was wonderful. He was very knowledgable and engaging. When it started raining (pouring, actually) on the rooftop, he could probably have said, "tour's over!" but he continued on with a good attitude. We had plenty of time to see the amazing architecture up close on the roof. The tour of the duomo was excellent as well.

Good tour - We were happy with the tour. It was Avery general but informative tour, which is what I would expect for 2 hours. If you want more details, I would go on a longer tour. The rooftop was great to see, but very warm at 96F outside.

There was very little... - There was very little historical information provided. The focal point of the tour was the terrace which was lovely however there has to be more to the story than the climb and the view.
