Discover Florence
Florence - Firenze - is many things; the heart of Tuscany, a Renaissance jewel, a true city of art. It's home to the Uffizi, one of the oldest museums in the world, and the Accademia, home to one of the most famous statues in the world - David. The incredible Cathedral - Duomo dominates the skyline, with Brunelleschi's fabulous dome - cupola, and Giotto's mighty clock-tower - campanile.

A fully guided 'small-group' tour of the Duomo, the Museo dell'Opera, the Baptistery including an ascent of the Cupola (dome). The ticket also allows you to visit the Campanile, Giotto's bell-tower, on your own at the end of the tour.
Accessibility: The ascent of the Cupola does involve quite a lot of climbing (463 steps) in quite narrow and dark passageways and is not recommended unless you are fit and don't suffer from claustrophobia or similar conditions. The tour is also unsuitable for children under 7 years of age.
Back to Tours of Florence Cathedral.

Group size will never be more than 8 people, all tours are in English, include all skip-the-line entrance tickets and your tour guide, and start at 9:15 through most of the year (any seasonal variations will be clearly presented at time of booking and on your voucher.)

17th Mar 2019A great tour and tour guide. So knowledgable, clear, concise, patient and a local too!!5 starsGF, United States
2nd Feb 2019Our tour guide was at the meeting point on time. He had our tickets to visit different parts of the complex and he reserved the time to climb the dome shortly after the end of our tour (the tour started at 9 am and the time to climb was 12:30). Our group was very small (5 people), so it was very easy to interact with our guide. We visited all the buildings. Our tour guide definitely loved Florence, and he explained the history of each of the buildings and pointed the most important works of art. It was a comprehensible tour at our pace - exactly the type of tour I like! Thank you very much for the wonderful experience!5 starsJK, Lebanon
6th Jul 2018After being late my friend and I, we gained tge site ASAP amd the guide and coordinator welcomed us with pleasure and we continued the tour with the group as planned and they gave us directions to continue tge tour on our own. We were very surprised by their reaction especially that we were late. They were very professional and with great hospitality5 starsCL, United States
