Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Galleria dell'Accademia, Via Ricasoli, 58/60, 50122, Florence Italy
Meet your local expert guide and small group of 18 people or fewer outside the Accademia. Before the daytime crowds show up or after they've left in the afternoon, you’ll head in to marvel at Michelangelo’s “David” as well as his unfinished sculptures known as “Slaves,” which give incredible insight into the mind of one of history’s greatest artists.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Piazza del Duomo, 50122, Florence Italy
After leaving the museum, you’ll stop at Piazza del Duomo outside the Baptistery and check out the incredible bronze-cast doors by Lorenzo Ghiberti, coined the "Gates of Paradise" by Michelangelo.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, Via della Canonica, 1 Piazza del Duomo, 50122, Florence Italy
You’ll skip lines into the Duomo, where your guide will bring the unbelievable history of its construction to life before heading to the pinnacle of your tour: the once-in-a-lifetime chance to step onto the Duomo’s rooftop terraces, rarely open to the public and offering stunning panoramic views.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Cupola del Brunelleschi, Piazza del Duomo Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, 50122, Florence Italy
Finally, once the guided tour concludes on the terrace level, you’re welcome to continue your journey up to the top of Florence by climbing to the top of the dome. Starting from this level gives you a head start past the long lines down below, so you’ll be soaking up spectacular views of the city in no time at all.

Great tour and very knowledgeable tour guide. Eleanora was very knowledgeable, but also very charismatic and passionate about what she was talking about. You get a great understanding of what Michaelangelo was doing with the statue of David as well as his other works of art at the Academia. The duomo was also very beautiful. Just be prepared for steps, steps, and more steps. Worth the views though!

We had a great tour today. Patricia, our tour guide, had so much knowledge of Florence. We had an early tour that started at 8:15 AM, which I highly recommend. We toured Accademia (David), Santa Maria Cathedral, and we walked up to the cupola (463 steps built in 1292). It was amazing view at the top of the cupola.

Great tour, our guide was very informative and knowledgeable. The view from the lantern was well worth the climb to the top.

We toured the Academia and Duomo with Nebor/Nebojs who was extremely passionate and knowledgeable. We got so much out of the tour and would not hesitate to book with Walks again for any tour. Highly recommend this to anyone, so worth the ability to access the terrace and climb the Duomo.
