Just amazing but watch out there is a lot of stairs to get to the top. This will be your weekly workout. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable, she had prepared many photos and printouts to show and explain how the whole Basilica came about. The tour starts early for a reason, you want to be there before the crowds. Once you reach the Duomo skywalk it is all worth it. The views and the grand nature of everything. Wow!

This was a wonderful tour and Sofia was fabulous. The climb was intense with all the people but the view was wonderful. Sofia had a wealth of knowledge and the terrace's view was gorgeous.

My husband and I booked this last-minute because we wanted to avoid the super-long standby line to enter the Cathedral. It was so worth it! The exclusive terrace was worth the cost in itself. Our small group were the ONLY people I saw go up there. Truly an exclusive. And our guide Isabella was very sweet and thorough and we learned so much! The only negative thing I could say was that we had a little bit of trouble locating the initial meeting place, but it's no fault to the City Wonders/Viator. Be aware that the Cathedral/Duomo complex has THREE different ticketing offices, so give yourself extra time to locate the one you'll be meeting at. A few members of the tour group couldn't find it before we departed, but City Wonders representatives were great in making sure they could meet up with us once they did find the meeting point. Would recommend!

The Duomo, I’m a single traveller and wouldn’t Norma pay for guided tours . The guide had such passion and great knowledge ,really made the tour come alive .
You learn so much more from a guided tour than any guide book . The views from the top of the Duomo , were spectacular . I previously worked in the tourism industry promoting the county of Somerset in the uk , I know how hard it is to captivate a group of tourists ,I don’t normally do reviews,but I can’t recommend the guide or the tour highly enough. It has to in the top 3 of
things to do in Florence.
amazing job and I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.

Die Aussicht ist sehr schön, dafür den Stern. Der Service ist unterirdisch, obwohl mehrere Kellner/innen herumstehen, kommt niemand. Sie wirken genervt, sind unfreundlich, „werfen“ das Besteck auf den Tisch. Die Getränke kamen nach der Vorspeise. Tatar sah schmierig aus, ungenießbar. Nudeln ganz offensichtlich aus dem Convenience-Beutel und nur lauwarm. Und zum Schluss schlagen sie auch noch 10 % auf die Rechnung auf. Wofür?? Und warum wird darauf nirgends hingewiesen?
Fazit: für einen Drink und die Aussicht in Ordnung, ansonsten: bloß nicht!!

Unser Guide Giacomo war sehr freundlich und hat uns alles super erklärt, ein tolles Erlebnis!
Wir waren eine kleine Gruppe und mit den Audioempfänger mit Kopfhöhrer war alles klar und deutlich zu Hören.
