The tour was very interesting with a lot of pertinent information. The stairs were challenging for a few people but well worth it. The only negative was the interference with the earplug speakers making it difficult to hear the guide at times.

Easy instructions to buy and pick up tickets. Helpful and interesting guide. Obviously skipping the queues is a huge bonus. Nothing can beat a climb up the Dome and the views from the top.

Tour was great, our guide was pleasant and very informative. Access to the terraces was a nice addition. Dome climb was rather difficult for all in our group but more than worth it. Would recommend this tour overall.

Marta was amazing!! We were fortunate to have her on a previous tour and so happy to see she was out tour for the cathedral as well. She is so knowledgeable and makes the history fun. Very engaging guide and really wants people to enjoy and learn. I would t have gotten up the dome without her encouragement and I appreciate very much the care she took. Thank you, Marta!
