The highlight of our trip

Published on Jan, 2025

This was the highlight of our week in Florence! It is impossible to articulate exactly how awe inspiring this Duomo Climb experience is!!!! Florentine born and raised Quiara ( spelling? Apologies) deployed a beguiling balance of playfulness, historic knowledge and societal context which filled the experience with a great sense of understanding and wonder for the mysterious feats of art, architecture, and engineering wonder. The exterior city views are spectacular, sure —but the opportunity to drink in the cupola’s astounding fresco up close and the wonder of walking between the two domes and physically experiencing a piece of European history starting in the 1400’s through 1600’s is incomparable. Not to be missed!

It was a great tour. ...

It was a great tour. The Ufizzi was overwhelming, but our guide made sure we saw the highlights. Our guide had so much knowledge, it was amazing.

Great tour

Published on Jan, 2025

This experience was amazing! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the climb up to the duomo was really something else. To see the frescoes that close wow!! I would definitely recommend.

Wonderful tour with professional guid.

Published on Dec, 2024

We are very satisfied with this tour. Our tour guide, Laura (hopefully I remembered her name correctly), was very nice and professional. In addition to the express entrance, we also had our own space to enjoy the masterpiece of the dome. Stopping by the terrace made the climb to the dome much easier.

That’s quite the dome!

Great tour. Knowledgeable guide who answered lots of questions and we really did skip all the lines.
