Florence Duomo Tour with Dome, Terraces or Museum

Our tour was excellent. Our guide explained the history and interesting bits about the outside, and then the inside of the Duomo. We climbed the first set of steps to the Terraces which was an incredible experience. I will say to others- this is not a climb for flip-flops or other loose shoes- we watched people sliding in their shoes on very narrow and steep steps. About half of the tour group continued up to the Dome. That also is a (longer) set of narrow steeps steps. As someone said in our group- it was definitely “leg day”! The reward is amazing views and interesting and up close looks at the dome construction. 100% would recommend.

Diese Tour war war nicht nur spannend, sondern auch lehrreich. Aurora hat ein enormes Wissen zur Geschichte, Kunst und Kultur in Florenz und insbesondere dem Dom - welches sie uns nahbar und unterhaltsam näher gebracht hat. Die Kirche zu sehen, bevor sie für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich ist, war ein Highlight. Und der Aufstieg nach ganz Oben war (im Nachhinein) gar nicht soooo schlimm :) Das frühe Aufstehen hat sich gelohnt!

The tour is absolutely worth it. The information you get is invaluable and the experience of seeing the sights of Florence from the Terraces and Dome lookout are amazing. You can see the whole cityscape and surrounding hills. The stairs can be challenging if you have any mobility issues. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the history of the Duomo and of Florence.

Had a great tour with our guide Lorenzo. He was very knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information about the Duomo. He was also very considerate of the needs of everyone in the group in terms of being able to climb the stairs to the dome and terraces. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting a deeper appreciation of this incredible building.
