Amazing experience climbing the Duomo! We had a fantastic time with this company on our climb up the Duomo. The artwork inside the dome was absolutely stunning—such intricate and beautiful details that made the experience feel truly special. The church itself is massive and breathtaking, both inside and out. The view from the top was epic—definitely worth the climb! While there are a lot of stairs, they weren’t as tough as we expected. That said, I can imagine it would be much more challenging in hot weather, so we were glad to have booked the earliest time slot. It was cool, quiet, and there was few crowds, which made everything smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend this experience if you're visiting Florence!

Climbing the Duomo’s magnificent dome is nothing short of stepping inside a living masterpiece. Brunelleschi’s audacious engineering surrounds you at every turn—the spiral staircases feel like secret passages from another century. As you ascend, you come face-to-face with Vasari’s enormous fresco of the Last Judgment, so close you can study the brushstrokes and the drama of the figures. The higher you go, the thicker the air of anticipation becomes. Then, suddenly, you emerge onto the terrace at the very top, and Florence unfurls before you: a quilt of terracotta roofs, cobbled lanes, and the shimmering Arno River winding through history itself. The view is dizzying, humbling, unforgettable.

Great all day ticket to explore Duomo experience. Well worth the money. Meeting guide should have had 'enjoy Rome' sign on flag she had a bag with it in which wasn't visible on her but location was easy to find. Also if you book audio tour you should mention on booking to take your own headset so you are not annoying other tourists when playing on app. Could provide more information on sights too it was a bit basic.

    We were initially provided with the wrong tickets which meant less time at the top of the Duomo. Tickets are time sensitive, which means they let so many people climb to the top but then you need to come down in order to let the next group climb up. The self guided tour was worthless, for the money you are better off paying for a guided tour.
