We LOVED this tour. Our guide Regina was passionate and very knowledgeable about the history and art work we saw. Her stories brought Michaelanglo and Florence to life on this not to miss tour. Well worth the time and money. If we had seen the Duomo or David on our own we would have missed out on having a deeper understanding of the history and the people who were part of Florence's tapestry. SKIP THE LINE was definitely an added plus.

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.

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.
