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!!

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!

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!

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.

I very much enjoyed the guided tour through Florence and the Accademia Galery. It was everything I could have hoped for. Our guide, Enette, joyfully told us loads of interesting and new things about the places we were walking by, and the David was, of course, breathtaking. Seeing it through more experienced eyes, with the help of Enette, made the experience even more special. Thank you!

Nothing!! We were confirmed to climb the Brunelleschi's Dome but received an email cancelling our climb and offering us a private climb of the Giotto's Bell Tower instead. It was offered as a private tour but another couple joined us who had the exact same issue that we did. We did the climb and were informed to follow up with Headout to get a refund. Our tour cost was less than climbing the Duomo. I received an email from Ahmed Moawad of Italypass the day before our climb cancelling it 'because of unforeseen logistical contraints (??). I am completely confused why I would get an email from Italypass when I had booked the tour with Headout! The site where we were to meet our guide (the Lindt shop) was a mess of no-one knowing what was happening or who was going where! I would never book through Headout again for any tours anywhere!!

The guide was explaining things as he went through the dome, but you could not hear him through the headphones that were given to us because he was very far ahead, and from at least half of the group to the back you could not hear anything. In addition, the quality of the headphones given to us was very bad, you could not hear anything even if you were close to the guide (i.e. when there was no signal problem).

Outstanding guide , really very knowledgeable . Although in a fairly short time and not being my first visit to Florence , he was able to provide me with a lot of information , that I was absolutely unfamiliar with , and I would add in a way that was also not boring and absolutely non-trivial . Excellent experience .

The best part of this experience was being able to climb to the top of the Duomo. This tour had everything a visitor would love to explore. Thumbs up.

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.

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.
