Tastes & Traditions of Florence: Food Tour with Sant'Ambrogio Market Visit

Well Worth the Money Great way to experience the majesty of Duomo without crowds and in an exclusive setting. We enjoyed the info and seeing the city of Florence at sunset and in the dark of night. Our guide Gaida was very accommodating and informative. A side note is that if you do this tour in the fall winter or early spring, the view from the terraces will not have much daylight because you start the tour at 5:45.

We had a fantastic time! Anna, our tour guide, was fun, energetic, and very knowledgeable. The food stops were nicely spaced and we had plenty of food and wine.

Our tour guide was perfect! He had so much information to share about the food and Florence history.

Incredible Experience! We did the evening climb of the Duomo Dome followed by our small group of 12 private tour of the cathedral. It was the most incredible experience. The views of Florence were amazing at the top and although it became crowded, we were in absolute awe of being able to see all of Florence. The terrace tour and views were also incredible. I went with my sister and 75 year old mum who needed to stop at the terrace level as she wasn’t feeling 100% and our guide Brenda, who was just so fabulous ensured she was looked after while we continued. The private cathedral tour was just so special. We are grateful to our guide Brenda for such an amazing family memory made.

Take this tour! The small group, and access to the terraces and chapel floor without the crowds was special indeed.. The views of Florence at sunset is breathtaking. Giada, our guide, was very knowledgeable and pleasant!

Fun Experience - This was an enjoyable experience. Climbing the Duomo stairs at night and seeing the church with less crowds was worth it.

Great tour! Our guide was passionate and knowledgeable.

This is a MUST! Treat yourself to this tour! Unforgettable experience! Our evening tour of the Duomo in Florence was truly unforgettable! Our guide was fantastic—so engaging and fun to listen to, with unique stories that kept us captivated the entire time. We highly recommend splurging on the evening Duomo tour with terrace access; it’s absolutely worth the higher price. Being the last group in the Duomo for the night, we had the rare opportunity to witness the guards turning off the lights and locking the doors. It felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The in-depth history shared by our guide added so much richness to the tour. Exploring the Duomo on our own wouldn’t have come close to this experience. If you’re visiting Florence, this tour is a must—especially if you want to see the Duomo in a truly unique way!

Alone in the Duomo: VIP After-Hours Tour - on 9/5 at 5:30 pm was amazing, exhausting, and exhilarating. Our guide helped us climb 463 steps to the top of the dome. That was the very hot and sweaty part. The views of Florence were breathtaking. We then had a private viewing on the outdoor terraces, and finally, the entire interior to ourselves until they shut off the lights, and we witnessed the locking of the cathedral doors. Two hours of literal highs and lows! Giada was really great and accommodating for those who could not hike to the top. Everyone had a great experience.
