The experience was just as described, and very good. Several people turned up late and didn't understand the nature of the tour, causing a delay but our guide was very professional with them and later thanked the rest of us for our patience. The frescoes inside were explained very well, and we had a good amount of time up on the cupola terrace. I found I could not always hear the sound through the earpiece as we climbed up and down the staircase but that may have been due to the stone structure.

We had an excellent tour with Lucia (sorry if I am misspelling her name) with a Florence Pass. She was super knowledgeable and friendly and was very patient with my dad’s many questions. The Duomo Museum pass is good for 48 hours, so you can come back! Also, at the start of the tour, they asked if we wanted to climb the bell tower ( included in the price), and if not, would refund those folks 10 Euros, so it’s an honest company. Highly recommend!

Unique experience that you can’t miss it Easy tickets to use Every information the platform give us were precise. Suggest it for sure !! You can’t miss it guys

Rosa was our guide and she was lovely! We learnt so much, lots of interesting facts and a great sense of humour too. Well worth it!

Easy to get the tickets. Even brought our 7 month old daughter up to the Dome with us.
