Itinerary

  • Piazza del Duomo (Pass By)

    Piazza del Duomo is located in the heart of the historic center of Florence. It is dominated by the mass of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and related buildings such as Giotto's bell tower and the baptistery of San Giovanni.

  • N/A (Pass By)

    The baptistery of San Giovanni Battista is a famous religious building in Florence, located in the Piazza San Giovanni of the same name, in front of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Dedicated to the patron saint of the city, it was for centuries the place where Florentines obtained baptism and was the place of investiture of knights and poets (Dante was also baptized here). You will see the Gates of Paradise, the main gate of the Baptistry. The Porta del Paradiso, in Italian, was created by Florentine goldsmith and sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti between 1425 and 1452 and installed in the eastern portal of the Baptistery. The Gates have been praised by generations of artists and art historians for their compelling portrayal of scenes from the Old Testament. Over time, the seventeen-foot-tall, three-ton bronze doors became an icon of Renaissance, one of the most famous works of art in the world.

  • Campanile di Giotto (Pass By)

    Giotto's bell tower is the bell tower of Santa Maria del Fiore, the cathedral of Florence, and is located in Piazza del Duomo.

  • N/A (Pass By)

    The "Loggia del Bigallo," a late Gothic structure associated with fraternities involved in community service, and the "misericordia," the world's oldest brotherhood for medical care and the oldest continuously operating private voluntary organization, will also be discussed by your knowledgeable guide. The building is one of the most singular and important in the city, both for the history it documents and for its structure and decoration, in which sculpture, painting and ironwork combine with equal dignity to determine a work with a unitary character.

  • N/A

    The metropolitan cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, commonly known as the cathedral of Florence, is the main Florentine church, symbol of the city and one of the most famous in Italy; when it was completed, in the 15th century, it was the largest church in the world, and can still boast the absolute primacy of the largest masonry dome today. It stands on the foundations of the ancient cathedral of Florence, the church of Santa Reparata, in the place that has hosted buildings of worship since Roman times.

    1 hour

  • Cupola Del Brunelleschi

    The magic continues as you ascend Brunelleschi's Dome, the city's emblem and the largest of its kind in the world (with skip the queue Florence Duomo tickets). The inside of the dome is covered in 3600 square meters of paintings, making it the biggest painted surface in the entire globe. You will get a close-up look at these frescoes as your guide explains and fascinatingly comments on them, bringing them to life right before your eyes. From a height, you will be able to enjoy an amazing perspective of the interior of the dome. As you ascend the last section and walk through the two shells to observe the brickwork up close, you will be better able to appreciate the ingenuity that went into the construction.

Doumo Climb

Published on Jan, 2025

Becky our tour guide was amazing. One of the best if not the best tour guide of many I had over the years. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. I will highly recommend her.

Fantastic tour

Duomo Tour with Dome Climb Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

In the short time I had in Firenze, I knew I wanted to see as many sights as I could - knowing I needed to sacrifice some due to only being in the city for a few days. That being said, I attempted to balance guided tours with my own explorations. I did not want to be part of a guided tour all day every day, so when one of my colleagues recommended Walkabout I inquired to see what they had to offer. I noticed that they had a 3-hour tour of the Piazza del Duomo which included a climb to the top of Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore Duomo di Firenze. This sounded perfect, so we decided to book it for our first full day in Firenze. Prior to my arrival in Firenze, I received correspondence from Walkabout with details about my tour. Via email and Whatsapp, I was given my start time as well as where to meet and who my tour guide will be. I booked a private tour, and I assume that's why they asked me where I was staying since my meeting point was about a 3-minute walk from my hotel. We met up with Lisa at the designated time, who gave us a quick rundown of the tour and shortly after that we got started. We began the tour in the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo - we spent a good amount of time here looking at each of the exhibits, and Lisa did an excellent job going through all the details and history not only of the pieces but of the history of Firenze that shaped what we saw. The museum is noteworthy that it contains many of the original artifacts of the cathedral itself (they have been replaced by replicas in order to preserve the originals). The original doors of the Baptistery are also here, as well as a scale replica of the first three stories of the Cathedral in its original form. After some time in the museum, we made our way to the Cathedral to begin the climb. It's not the easiest climb I'll admit, as it's 400+ steps and there are points in the ascent that are tight with steep steps - but I would say it's totally worth it as the views up top are magnificent. You get panoramic views of the city so my camera was constantly clicking. While the climb concluded our tour, our tickets did include access to the Bell Tower and Baptistry which were valid over the next couple of days which I thought was a nice perk. Overall my experience with Walkabout was excellent - Lisa did an awesome job guiding us through the exhibits; she's very knowledgable, engaging, and really made this tour amazing. I would have no qualms booking a tour with them next time I'm in Florence.

Phenomenal! Best tour of my trip to Italy

Published on Oct, 2024

Phenomenal! Highly recommend this tour and tour company (1 of 3 tours I did with Walk About Tours - all great but this was my favorite). Becky was fantastic and was able to dive deeper into history / details as that was a personal interest of mine. The ability to climb the Duomo as well as enter the museum with a guide made all the difference in being able to connect important meanings behind each.
