2.Duomo Cathedral Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 5,970 reviews · from $15

Spend about an hour exploring Florence’s Duomo with a licensed English-, Italian- or Spanish-speaking guide.

Guides have included Victoria, Alex, Andrea and Francesco, though your guide may differ. Cupola and Santa Reparata entry are not included.

“The guide was top! We expected an hour tour however the lines were long and this time was not calculated into the overall length of the tour. Two people had to leave early. This should be made clear in the description. If the weather had been hot it would have been hard on many. The guide was the best!”

“A must do experience if you are visiting Florence. Marta and the team at Towns of Italy are amazing and so passionate about their beautiful city. The city walk and visit to the Duomo terraces and Dome never felt rushed and we learnt so much. You’ll be glad of the skip the line feature as the queues were huge when we visited. Don’t worry about the steps up to the terraces and the dome, it’s done in stages and the views at the top are so worth the effort. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you Towns of Italy for an amazing day!”
