Our 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!

Great guide. Easy to find. Would have missed so much if we had not had the guided tour of the baptistery.

Federica, the tour guide made this so enjoyable. The tour of the baptistry and external tour of the Duomo was very good but the museum tour surpassed even that.

Guide was very knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful. Made a group tour seem more like a private tour.

Our guide was very knowledgeable. While in the cathedral, don’t forget to take the stairs to the underground area (not part of the guided tour). I found it fascinating to see what has been uncovered.

Tour guide was well-versed, easy to understand and suited tour to our pace. Lucky to have only a total of 6 people. She clearly explained how and when to access the Giotto Bell Tower. Can't think how it could have been improved. Thanks!

This tour was one of the best I have ever been on.A small group and the young man taking the tour was very knowledgeable and outstanding in his presentation of the history of the cathedral.

Our tour guide was phenomenal. She gave a very in depth and interesting tour with a lot of valuable insight that helped us enjoy our entire visit to Florence, not just the cathedral complex. We really enjoyed the small group tour, with just 4 people total include my husband and I. Overall, I will highly recommend this tour to friends and family. Please commend the tour guide, she was truly excellent. There was also a local representative who met us at the meeting point and was very friendly, warm and helped suggest nice places to eat during our visit.

We had a most pleasant afternoon visiting the Baptistery and the Duomo. Our guide (Maurizio) was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and provided very detailed explanations, as well as answering our questions in detail. It was a very worthwhile experience.

Another excellent tour which we thoroughly enjoyed. Our guide was informative and interesting, bringing the whole experience to life. Climbing the dome was fantastic.

Very knowledgable guide. I just wasn't fit enough to do the duomo tower.

Meeting place was TERRIBLE;very difficult to find. The name of the bakery is frequently covered up by delivery trucks and when the name is covered by the umbrellas. It would be much better to arrange the meeting place for the column with the cross on top, that is located just next to the smallest building of the Duomo complex. The tour was a little too long and boring, but overall it was very good, and I would recommend to friends.
[Tickitaly responds: Thank you for your comments on the meeting place - we've tried to make that clearer.]

The tour could have been completed in less time. While it was very interesting, the pace was incredibly slow. The guide was however, very knowledgeable.
