We had a great tour guide. Laura was interesting and fun, she obviously knows a lot about the Cathedral. 2,5 hours just flew by

Strongly recommend, totally worth the price ! The guide was excellent, we had the cathedral and the top of the duomo to ourselves ! We could fully admire the beauty of it ! The breakfast was in a typical florentino cafe, and was delicious. Even better : the tickets we were given at the end allow fast pass entry to the duomo, the cathedral, and many other monuments / museums for 72h (so you can even come back whenever you want) !

This was the best experience we had in Italy. Early bird gets the worm. We were the first people in the cathedral and the first to ascend to the duomo. It was my wife's birthday and somehow we were the only 2 on the sunrise tour so it was a private tour. Amazing!!!!

Getting up early to start a tour at 6:45 may sound daunting but it was an excellent choice. We entered the baptistery before it officially opened and were the first guests in the cathedral. It was serene to be so few in this majestic building.
The guide was courteous, attentive and very knowledgeable, full of historical anecdotes that contributed to a wonderful experience. She also provided several useful tips about other places to visit.
Be prepared--there are lots of steps!!
Later in the day, we passed by the cathedral and saw the crowds and extremely long lines. We were ever more grateful for the peaceful, early morning experience.

The operator, Aurora, was excellent, personable and knowledgeable. It was a relief to visit a brick and morter tour office as well.
The trip to see the duomo was great. Some members of the tour had issues with the height and enclosed spaces of the walkways. Perhaps this could have been made a bit more clear for them.
It was great to see a different perspective of such an iconic landmark. It was a bit expensive on my opinion, but I would recommend it.

I liked the exclusive access and the guide was very knowledgeable. I found myself wanting to know more about the buildings itself however

The guide was so knowledgeable and took time to explain so much to us and made sure we were all comfortable with the hike up the duomo before leading us in.

Beautiful place, Beautiful views and landscapes
beautiful views, beautiful cathedral, wonderful frescoes and monumental dome, interesting information about the cathedral, trivia and nuances. Professional guide keeps a healthy distance from the reliable information he presents. Beautiful tour adorned with wonderful paintings....

My guide (Jack) was amazing - he made up for the terrible experience I had trying to find the tour! The meeting place on my confirmation email was just a random apartment building. I called customer service and was told to call the local operator. That person tried to help me but sent me a second incorrect meeting point. At this point, I'm convinced the tour is a scam and am ready to dispute the charge on my crednit card! I finally speak to another local operator, Carla, who told me to wait in front of a third location and the tour would come find me! When I FINALLY met up with Jack, I was near tears and very frustrated. But he quickly turned it around for me. He was knowledable AND fun and he made the tour so enjoyable! Not many your guides would quote Eminem while explaining the construction of the Cupola, but he made it work effortlessly. Thank you Jack!!

We decided last minute to see the Duomo again. Glad we did it. Plus climbing atop the roof overseeing the city was awesome
