Guide knew his stuff, went at a just right pace. Worked out things with the bakery shop as there usual had not arrived, so we had to get nicer pastries, but at the lower price. He was a little late to start, but it was due to the rain, and he apologized. Very enthusiastic about the Duomo!

The museum and crypt are a must see. Great to have everything included on the one ticket. The audio guide was also excellent and having it on your phone was a step above. Shame it didn't encompass everything on the ticket.

Truly a beautiful experience! Florence is already beautiful in itself, seen from above it is even more so. The only thing is that climbing the stairs can be challenging, so keep that in mind when you want to plan a visit.

We visited the Florence Cathedral on Monday, October 7. Our guide was really very knowledgeable and explained very clearly the historical and cultural context of the city at all stages of construction. Pleasant and interesting visit. Unfortunately, we did not have a ticket for the bell tower, the dome and the Baptistery. Reason to return.

Very informative and enjoyable. I forgot our tour guide's name. I believe that she was Danish. She had such a pleasant disposition and was ready to provide extra, interesting facts when there were delays. My wife's receiver/headset kept cutting out. Our tour guide seamlessly addressed the issue by providing a backup receiver and headset -- with out interrupting the tour. She was amazing. I highly recommend this tour.
