Thank you so much to Headout and to Fatima for the awesome experience. The guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable and generous in sharing information. I missed the tour previous day and surprisingly they called me and said I can come next day and do the tour ! It was a pleasant surprise and so glad I didn't miss the wonderful place and history behind it . What a memorable way to wrap up my trip to magnificent and magical Florence !

I need no word to describe how magnificant the Duomo is. The skip-the-line advantage is a must-have. We went in January which is the quitest season, we cannot image how long the line would be if it is prime season.

It's very interesting to learn about the history behind every part of the building, its works of art, and the people who made it possible. It's also nice to hear some medieval gossip! Well done, Alex.
