Great

The tour was great, we were initially mislead into thinking we could go into the Cathedral but it was Sunday. This should be made more clear on booking. Alma our tour guide was charming and so knowledgable, it was a really interesting time. Thanks

Great

It was a good tour. Felt a bit ripped off that it didn't tell you you won't enter Dumo on a Sunday until after we booked. Guide was good and knowledgeable. Not the best tour I've ever had, but also not bad. I like a tour that points out things off the beaten track along the way and this was very generic. (Still very knowledgeable about the main sites!)

We skipped long lines, admired Michelangelo’s David, explored the Duomo, and enjoyed the historic center. our guide was very noble and knowledgeable person.The pace was a bit fast, but the guide’s knowledge made it an excellent experience overall. recommended this company.

FAQs

Does the Florence Duomo have a dress code?

Yes. The Florence Duomo is a holy place and as such, you are expected to wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees when you enter. It is also prohibited to enter the Cathedral and climb to the Terraces and Cupola wearing flip-flops, slippers, clogs and shoes with heels.

Will visiting during Easter or Christmas impact my tour?

During the Christmas and Easter periods, due to increased visitor traffic, the Duomo skip-the-line option is not guaranteed. As a result, you may encounter a wait before entering the Duomo.

Can I use a wheelchair on this tour?

Yes, but we require advance notice in order to accommodate wheelchairs on this tour. After booking, please contact us so that we can organize a private tour for you. If we cannot find a guide to lead you that day we'll offer you the same tour on the next available date or give you credit for another tour anywhere else in the world.

Do I need to bring my ID with me on this tour?

Yes! This is especially important if you have purchased a student ticket because the museums will check when we arrive.

What if the weather is bad (rain, snow, hail, etc.) on the day of my tour?

Our tours run rain or shine so please dress for the elements. We also ask you to please remember hats and sunscreen if you are taking this tour in the summer as it might be very hot.

Can I bring my bag into Florence Duomo?

Larger backpacks are not allowed inside Florence Duomo. Please make sure to only bring small handbags on this tour.
