Very accommodating guide, detailed explanations of the structures and city once we were on the terraces and dome, and the ticket we were given lasts 72 hours so we were able to gain entry to the museum behind the cathedral, the baptistry and the bell tower at a time that suited us on a different day. Well worth the price, even if it is just to skip the lines!

Our guide was genuinely excellent and this was one of the few tours we went on that actually felt "exclusive," we got to go where other people clearly weren't allowed to go. The best way to see the duomo.

Our guide spoke impeccable English and was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. The views from the top of the Duomo are breathtaking (or perhaps it was the stairs that got us there).
