Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Walking through Florence and seeing the Statue of David was awe inspiring. I loved how easy Viator made the tour experience!

Greta was a fantastic tour guide! This tour is so worth it and I highly recommend doing it! Skipping all the lines is fantastic by itself but the addition of having such a knowledgeable guide made our tour so perfect!

Our guide, Elena, was fantastic! She was so knowledgeable and purchasing a skip the line small group tour couldn't have been a better way to begin our visit to Florence!! We loves Elena! Such a great guide!

What a beautiful city! Every where you look, there are beautiful sites to see. The only downside was the crowds. Apparently, everyone has the same idea about visiting this wonderful city with its breathtaking art and fantastic food. This tour is a great introduction to the highlights of the city and allows you to bypass the lines to see the statue of David and the inside of the city’s awesome cathedral. Don’t miss it.

FAQs

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.

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.

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.
