An excellent way to skip the line and see the cathedral and dome! We started off at the museum which was beautiful! Then went through the middle of the very long line and went into the cathedral before it opened. We then had an amazing experience overlooking the entire city on top of the dome. Aurora was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and easy to understand. This is a must-do as long as you can climb 463 steps.

The tour guide was solid and it was a great way to see the dome. If you want to spend time in the church you will still need to wait in a very long line.

Francesca with the blue eyes! Thank you for such a lovely morning :) We could tell you were so passionate about the art, the duomo and everything else you talked about. It really made the experience so much more enjoyable and made the 400+ stairs feel not so bad. We could’ve listened to you talk about art all day long honestly haha.

Fantastic behind-the-scenes tour of the Duomo. Skipping the line deformity worth it and felt like getting away with something. Elena, our tour guide was energetic, knowledgeable, and friendly. We’d definitely recommend this tour to our friends.

This was a great tour. Our tour guide gave incredible information - not just about the items on the tour but about Florence in general. He gave recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the city. He provided amazing information during the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to people traveling in the area.
