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.

Guided tours of the duomo and surrounds.
Dominating central Florence is the magnificent Duomo (cathedral) and it's dome by Brunelleschi, along with the adjacent clock tower and baptistery.
“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!”

“A wonderful tour, conducted by a knowledgable and passionate advocate for the history of Florence and its precious churches, museums and art.” JM, Australia
“Guide was very knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful. Made a group tour seem more like a private tour.” MS, USA

This is a unique tour in that it offers a skip-the-line entrance to Florence Cathedral (the Duomo), starting in the morning and lasting around 90 to 100 minutes. You'll also be seeing the collection of incredible religious buildings that form the heart of Florence, all part of this special walking tour.
Overview
Queues outside the cathedral are often very long indeed and, with this tour, you'll pass them by and use a dedicated entrance; your local, professional english-speaking guide will guide the group (never more than 25 people) around the interior of the incredible building, imparting a passion that Fiorentini have always had for their cathedral, the people that built it, and its rich and often turbulent history.
You'll be shown and have explained the architecture, the art and decorations, and share in many an anecdote that will leave you with some personal insights into this enormous and impressive building.
And it's not just the cathedral - the tour will also introduce you to the other buildings that form the unique religious heart of Florence, Piazza del Duomo - the Baptistery (Battistero) and Giotto's splendid clock-tower (Campanile). You'll not be entering these as part of this tour (the real plus point of which is the fact that you can skip the queues at the Duomo), but your guide will allow you to discover the fascinating stories of these wonderful buildings, illuminating their past in the same in-depth way that the cathedral will be revealed.
Please note that since the tour includes a visit to religious buildings there is a strict dress code - please do not wear shorts, sleeveless tee-shirts or other inappropriate clothing, or you may be denied entry. It is usual for this tour to not run in winter months.
