Duomo Florence tickets & tours

The guide was relaxed and knowledgeable with excellent English, he was relaxed in his delivery and tailored the information to the groups knowledge and interest.

The ticketing experience worked out just fine, the only negative point I would like to mention is that on the day of the visit to the Cathedral we had to wait for more than 1 hour on the line along with dozens of other people, all of us under heavy heat, even though we had booked a guided tour! It was not pleasant! I must say however that our tour guide, Rosa, was extremely nice and made every efforts to overcome the situation but it was a matter of internal organization at the Cathedral. As a suggestion, they shoul be more careful with the booking of the slots to avoid these situations, particularly when major crowds are expected.

Guide was really great. I think her name was Regina? She was very knowledgeable and energetic. Climb to duomo was awesome. Such spectacular views. 463 steps to the top. Being water on this trip. Especially if during the summer Thank you!

Leonardo was an incredible guide, he explained everything in great detail, all the information provided will be useful for my art history class.

Knowledgeable tour guide answered questions

Very knowledgeable. Very professional.

Excellent guide. Very well spoken and educated well worth it.

A very good explanation of the sights in Florence with a focus on the cathedral with its museum and dome.

The guide was not there right at 8:45am and came about 5 minutes before 9. This did not give adequate time to instruct all in the group on what to do.

Helena was a great guide for Florence duomo. She has a lot of knowledge about the history of the church, Catholic practices and architecture. She was able to hold my kid's attention telling jokes along the way to keep things fun.

It was very good as a fast visit we saw everything we needed the guide was very kind and gave us all the details so we were happy

Our guide was very thorough and friendly, but because she had been held up by her previous group, our tour started about 30 minutes late and felt a bit rushed.

Everything went smoothly. Our guide was very helpful and gave us clear instructions on how to enter the Dome. I made a mistake during the booking process and forgot to book a ticket for my child, but they kindly sent me an extra one for him. Climbing to the top of the Dome was a great experience.

The guide was really knowledgeable and I am convinced she's earned her fees. But unfortunately for clarity, it was not a skip-the-line ticket. There's no ticket needed or fee to enter the cathedral. You just line up early before they open. Had I known there's no entrance and booking needed, I would've just gone by myself and did my own search. I didn't think spending on the experience was necessary.

Guide was amazing. Lovely soft spoken voice, could understand everything she said ..and more importantly could remember everything she said

Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Tour ended up being an hour and a half. Not upset since we got good value for our money but it did not make much sense that a 30 minute express tour was advertised for 9:30am when they don't even let people into the cathedral until 10:15.

Booked for 11.30 suddenly changed to 12.30 - very inconvenient but we'd paid so stuck! Excellent your guide but like most we assumed ticket included fast entry. Didn't expect long queue to get in!!!

Having experienced numerous guided tours before, I have to say that hands down, our tour guide Julia was the absolute best guide we've ever had. She was not only deeply knowledgeable, but she was also friendly, caring, engaging and passionate about Florence and the Duomo. She honestly made the tour a fantastic experience for our family. Just loved her!!

Buying tickets was easy. We went with a small group. While we were waiting in line, the guide gave us an enjoyable, great presentation not only about the Duomo but also about the interesting facts about it. Anna

It was a fantastic tour. Anastasia was delightful and knew her history. Helped me change my perspective on my understanding of Venetian history.

Roberta shared so many interesting stories about Florence, its characters, and its history. It's the stories and unique details that make people and places come alive for me. Gratzie, Roberta!!!! ❤️🙏🏽

We had a very nice experience with our guide! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour truly enjoyable. Highly recommended!

The guide was excellent, as an architect, she was able to explain Brunelleschi's design and execution of the dome wonderfully.

It was an awesome tour, Anastasia was great and did an awesome job sharing the history of the building and the people behind it. She was knowledgeable and fun!

This is not a skip the line ticket - you are just lining up early with the rest of the crowd. This was my main issue with this tour - they are deceiving the buyer which really soured the experience for me. You are paying for the guided part and that part was so-so. It was 12 euros each and we bought two tickets so it wasn't a huge loss. Overall I would not repeat the tour, I would watch or read about the site myself and just line up on my own.

Great quick VIP experience. Skipped every ridiculously long line we saw. Meeting point conveniently located close to the Duomo. Highly recommend this booking!

Very accommodating guide, detailed explanations of the structures and city once we were on the terraces and dome, and the ticket we were given lasts 72 hours so we were able to gain entry to the museum behind the cathedral, the baptistry and the bell tower at a time that suited us on a different day. Well worth the price, even if it is just to skip the lines!

The possibility to see "secret terrasse", and to be in the top of Bramante cupole.

Our guide did a good job. We should have known about the knee covering, but we had been traveling Italy for the past few weeks and it was not really enforced anywhere else, 9and it was 93 degrees), . It maybe helpful to add a note to your reminder that says something like- "Duomo will enforce dress codes". Just to be even more clear- but I understand this was on us. I also thought the guide would be with us all the way to the top. We got stopped for almost 25 minutes at the first interior balcony. My wife who has trouble at times with heights, was somewhat nauseous with nowhere to look but out and down. The duomo staff wouldn't help. I'm glad she wasn't sick, that would have been bad. But it was certainly an uncomfortable experience. Other than that the tour was as I expected, not great, but not bad. Our guide was good, until she wasn't there anymore.

Our guide (Jacobo) was charming, sympathetic, entertaining and provided clear, useful explanations with a humorous touch.

The climb up the dome was exhilarating! Loved all the info the guide shared

Our tour guide was excellent.Knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Our guide was genuinely excellent and this was one of the few tours we went on that actually felt "exclusive," we got to go where other people clearly weren't allowed to go. The best way to see the duomo.

Our guide spoke impeccable English and was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. The views from the top of the Duomo are breathtaking (or perhaps it was the stairs that got us there).

The guides were great! They were very enthusiastic & knowledgeable. Easy to find meeting point with instructions given in confirmation email. Definitely worth the money for the time saved to skip the lines.

Breathtaking tour led by an outstanding guide. The climb of the Duomo was explained fully and clear options provided for those who wanted to climb. Highly recommend this tour.

Nice small group and expert guide. Answered lots of questions. Knew his subject matter well.

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.

Really felt like a VIP and skipped lines and crowds. Our tour guide was great and the views and information were awesome.

The activity was absolutely amazing and worth every penny! The tour guide was fabulous!

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.

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!

The guide was knowledgeable and easy to follow. She didn't rush us up the stairs. She explained every single thing we looked at. Great comprehensive tour.

Your took 45 mins to enter into the Cathedral and we had to join the general public line. Tour guide provided good jnformation. The full tour took more than an hour. For this reason I suggest the word ' Express' from the tour title and description.

Very nice tour, very good guide 👍

Everything went as described when I bought the tickets, the tour guide was very friendly and very competent

An excellent guide, very friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of the Duomo.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on all things about the cathedral... fascinating!! THANK YOU!!

Knowledgeable and entertaining guide, strongly recommend:)

Very knowledgeable guide she was a wealth of information on the history of Florence and the duomo

The tour was excellent, informative entertaining. Alex was a great host and guide. Can recommend

Valentina was most accommodating and helpful. Tour inside was great.

Alex was very informative and helpful. She even recommended a great restaurant!

Very well run and efficient as well as informative guide. Well done.

Loved the tour. I appreciate the team to have accommodated by dad last minute.

The highlight of my visit was , the information we received from the tour guide and the Cathedral itself .

The tour and the communication that the agency had with us.

Guide ecplained clearly the history of the cathedral and booking was easy on the web.

Interesting and knowledgeable guide

Incredible I highly recommend Florence Pass.

A very pleasant visit with a guide, Anastasia, who spoke excellent French, was pleasant and her comments were both clear and erudite.

The guide was great and the skip-the-line tickets are definitely worth it. But the tickets did not include everything that is mentioned - we had no access to the crypt nor to the Baptistery.

I found the inside of the duomo underwhelming but the tour guide shared such fascinating history with great passion that the visit was actually the highlight of my trip.

This tour worked like clockwork and the guide was very knowledgeable (I don't remember her name, however she worked in restoration/ was originally from Norway and had some of excellent insight into the history/ buildings). Skip the line was bang on time and I enjoyed this experience - was the best of the three that I booked

Very good guide, very knowlegable

Roberta was absolutely amazing!!! Such a great tour and she is so knowledgeable and made it very interesting. I would highly recommend her!!!

My guide was very thorough and lovely. The explanation of everything was very interesting and I felt her enthusiasm.

We had an amazing tour with Glenda. She was incredibly nice and very informative. She gave us a ton of information about the Duomo, Michelangelo and so many other things we saw. She helped us every step of the way and even ga e us a great recommendation for lunch. We absolutely loved out time in Florence and would highly recommend Headout and Glenda! They made everything super easy!
