This 3-day ticket to explore all the monuments in the Piazza del Duomo is really great. Depending on the heat and the queues, you may not be able to go up to the Bell tower and the capulla della cathedral next, as there are a lot of stairs and it's very hot in the passageways. So take your time and go several times.

It was great to have the tickets to see all of the sights electronically. As we had booked the tour for our first full day in Florence it was great to hear the history of the cathedral, Florence and the Medici family. It helped us to decide on other places to see and linked some of the treasures we say in the museums. Anastasia, our guide, was so passionate and enthusiastic we couldn't help but feel the same about the beautiful city of Florence. Her knowledge was incredible. Highly recommended.

I booked this tour on a whim because the time slot fit perfectly with my itinerary during my day trip in Florence. Best decision I ever made! Although I booked the tour solo, I met a lot of friendly people. The tour was small - only 10 people. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and explained the history behind the paintings and statues in the Academia Museum and the layout of the cathedrals. Since we had some extra time, we got to briefly tour other sacred sites that were originally not part of the itinerary, which was an excellent way to utilize our time. I can tell you that the highlight of this tour was climbing the Duomo and seeing a bird's eye view of Florence. Trust me, I was a bit nervous about the actual climb and how many steps there would be (463 steps), but rest assured there are multiple areas within the climb where you can stop to take a breather. The view of Florence from above was priceless! I would recommend this tour to anyone who has flexibility during their day trip (or few days) in Florence!

I missed one star because the guide directed us from the Cathedral trough the gates for upper terraces. Afterwords we find out that if we like to see the Crypt at the basement, we have to do it after climbing down from the Dome and to take the cue for entering again in the Cathedral! My opinion is that the guide should advise us to see first the Crypt once we were already inside! It is true that in such case, the guide should wait for the group and after to climb up together for the first terrace where the Bishops are. I consider that my comment it's useful for other visitors. Thank you!
