Completamente negativa. Ho pagato per avere la guida in lingua italiana e ho trovato solo quella inglese senza alcuna altra possibilità. La guida peraltro non è stata di minimo supporto e mi ha detto che visto che sono italiana, devo prendermi una guida provata e pagarla almento 50 €uro.

There is a common misunderstanding at the booking moment. Domo in spanish means Cupola. When I booked a tour to the Fiorence Duome I thought I was booking a tour to the Cupola, not just to the cathedral. It would be great to call the tour "Cathedral Tour" rather than "Duomo Tour" where people gets mistakenly thinking is the Cupola tour.

Knowledgeable and friendly guide, but the tour booked was in Italian, while we were incorporated into an English tour
