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!

Excellent tour with lots of information combined with good humour before then skipping queues to do the Duomo climb. The climb itself is very steep in places towards the end but well worth it. The views at the top are fantastic and also to see the painted ceiling up close of the Duomo is really incredible. The ticket then also covers entry to the Baptistry, museum and bell tower. We booked a 4:30 slot so ran out of time to do the bell tower climb as well that day but the pass covers you for the next couple of days if you are in Florence for longer.

The ticket collection instructions were unclear. It didn't specify we were meeting a person so we were very confused. Also the tour had a human guide which wasn't clear during booking - we thought we had an unassisted audio. This added an hour onto our activity which we hadn't planned for. Aside from this confusion, the tour guide was amazing (10/10) and both climbs were excellent.

    Beautiful basilica, hefty climb up but the view of Vasaris last judgment and the view outside over florence is worth every step.

    The attractions are of course amazing. However the audio guide for them was VERY disappointing. 2 minute clips to tell you about a part of each building was not very helpful. Also the "meeting point" info was confusing. My email said I would meet someone who had a sign, but it was not a guided tour? Of course there was not anyone there at the "meeting point". It should have just been communicated where the entrance line was to climb the duomo and that would have made more sense.

    This 3-day ticket to explore all the monuments in the Piazza del Duomo is really great. Depending on the heat and the queues, you may not be able to go up to the Bell tower and the capulla della cathedral next, as there are a lot of stairs and it's very hot in the passageways. So take your time and go several times.
