Excellent

This walking tour of Munich was excellent! Guide Ozzie was very engaging & extremely knowledgeable & thorough. He has years of experience & answered every question & more. This tour far surpassed my expectations. Highest recommendations for others to go on this tour! Ozzie is so knowledgeable, he can give you highlights and information about other tours you might consider here in Bavaria. Ozzie gave us information in a very entertaining way & showed us many food options choices as well. We enjoyed our lunch together in the Viktualienmarkt & learning so much about Bavaria & the Third Reich. Awesome Tour! This tour ranks as one of the very best tours we have taken. Don't miss this tour, if you're traveling to Munich!

Brenda was fabulous. With a warm smile and sense of humor, she shared her true love of art, history, and her city of Florence. I feel lucky to have had her as our guide.

We were met on time and handed earpieces to use. Good sound quality. <br />Ivana was a delight with great knowledge and gentle humour. <br />I was concerned the cost would not be recouped but all four of us thought the three hours were excellent so definitely 'worth the money'...!

It was well worth the cost to skip the lines for early access - if for no other reason we had the afternoon to explore Florence instead of waiting in lines. Our tour guide, Anika, was very knowledgeable, sharing many facts about the art and the church. We learned much more than we would have if we had just walked through the museum and Duomo on our own.

FAQs

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
