Must-do in Florence!

Highly recommend! Our tour guide was absolutely awesome - she was extremely knowledgeable and helped to explain everything we didn’t understand. She was able to answer all of our questions and taught us a lot about Florence’s history - not just the Duomo. She took us to amazing sights in the complex that we would’ve missed otherwise. Was a major highlight of our entire Europe holiday!

Maria was our tour guide on this trip. She was very informative and very entertaining. We got access to exclusive areas and saw views that other couldn't. Highly recommend this tour for those that want to really experience the Duomo and learn all its secrets.

Duomo Disappointment

, Oct 2019
Our guide had difficulty with English and seemed irritated when anyone asked a question. I might have overlooked this when I signed up but the museum was closed on the day of our tour. A voucher to come back the following day did not help as we had other tours scheduled. I would say It is magnificent from the outside and underwhelming inside.

Dear client We are very sorry to read that you haven't enjoyed the tour, we have never received this kind of complaint, our staff is always very happy to answer the customers' questions. It is a pity that you got this feeling, we are sorry for it. In regards to the inside of the Duomo: it is about a centuries-old richness of history and works of art, plus a view unique that you can enjoy, thanks to our tour only, from the terrace above it. The Duomo complex is really worth a visit, we hope that you will get a chance to come back one day and change your mind :) Kind Regards Ciaoflorence Staff

Great tour of the Duomo in Firenze!

This was our third trip to Firenze but we had never done a Duomo experience. The tour was great! Our guide had architecture experience and she really gave our group insight into how the Duomo was engineered and constructed. I would highly recommend this tour. Everything was taken care of; all the entry tickets were ready for us and we skipped the long lines.

Dear Jeff That is very true, the Duomo in Florence seems to be made by the hand of God, it is so perfect and outstanding! Plus, our tour gives access to the secret terraces of the Church... thrilling... and the view from there is simply unique! We hope we will be able to welcome again on one of our tours in the future, in the meantime take care! Kind Regards Ciaoflorence Staff
