Walking to the top of the Duomo was a highlight of our Italian honeymoon! It’s a lot of steps so not for light of heart but the view of top is literally unbeatable. Our tour guide, Simone, was AMAZING. It was raining unfortunately and the line to the museum got so backed up we missed our original time - she fought for us with the company and museum and managed to get us all in just a little later in the day taking her own time to stay with us, PLUS she’s incredibly knowledgeable and friendly! You could spend hours at these places due to the amount to learn, so I highly recommend a tour with a guide like this to see the highlights!

Our guide was excellent, patient, courteous super informative and communicated clearly! I’ll admit the directions to the meeting point was a little confusing but as it turns out it was operator errors.

Viewing the statue of David was. Wonderful. There is no skip the line at the Academia. We waited an hour and 15 minutes in line. The Duomo tour was basically nonexistent. Everyone in our group was under the impression that the tour included touring the Church, the Bapistry and the Museum as well as the climb. In fact only the Dome climb was part of the tour. We were informed that we could enter the Church, Bapistry, and Museum on our own but the church was already closed when we arrived and we were told we would have to come back the next day which was impossible since we were not staying in Florence. This was a total ripoff for the price we paid for the tour and was totally misrepresented
