Piazza del Duomo

The Duomo square offers a breathtaking view, especially at sunset, when the sun's rays 'light up' the polychrome marble of the buildings that form the religious complex of the city: the Baptistery, the Cathedral and Giotto's Bell Tower. In fact the chromatic homogeneity (green, white and red) beautifully harmonizes a stylistic variety.

Amazing Guide!

Published on Jan, 2025

Great experience! Stephan was a great guide and was very thorough with what he showed us. He was at the meeting point waiting for us and very helpful and polite when we had to check a backpack. He knew what he was talking about and helped us see special details of the art in the Opera. Highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

The tour was absolutely fantastic! Everything was on time and nicely paced. The tour guide was very knowledgable and she gave us great lessons about history, culture and religion during the tour, which we found fascinating to learn. They arranged the tickets ahead of time, and we do not need to worry about anything just showing up, which is convenient and helpful, especially if during peak seasons. My husband and I very much appreciated the work and effort put into the design of the tour. Climbing the dome was optional but definitely worth it, to have an overview of the city.

Tiring but worth it!

Published on Oct, 2024

Once we were done with the 463 steps, we got to see some incredible things. We also learned quite a lot!!

Sarah M. is the Best Duomos guide!

Published on Oct, 2024

Wehad the absolute best time with Sarah M! We were running a few minutes late and she did not mind at all, she was gracious, warm and kind! My mom was in a wheelchair and she was very helpful and even met us at our hotel! Her knowledge of the Duomo was both interesting and educational! She spoke very good English and was very patient! We loved our time spent with her and it was really worth the money!

Excellent private tour and climb Duomo

Published on Oct, 2024
