This was a great tour of the Duomo and museum. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. She pointed out historical landmarks on our walk to the Duomo and highlighted significant pieces in the museum. The climb up the dome was a bit challenging but she was encouraging and patient. It was definitely worth the views inside and outside. Highly recommend this tour!

We did the Florence Duomo tour with Brian, which included the rooftop climb. This was one of our favorite tours in Italy, and Brian was an amazing guide. The Duomo is beautiful, but if you can manage the steps to the top, definitely do it. The views of Florence are amazing, and you see the dome paintings up close. This is a fantastic tour.
