The Florence Duomo with Brunelleschi Dome Access pass was very convenient for me, because it made it possible to take part of all the different interesting sights that are associated with the Duomo without stress, at my own pace, during three days. The audio guide that is included in the price is also a real treasure.

Hello, we really enjoyed the attractions included in this pass. We took our time exploring each of the attractions, of course—the dome is a must-see, as are the tower and the museum. I highly recommend this booking site for anyone looking to buy tickets on-site.

It was easy to pick up the tickets, and then we had access not only to the interior of the dome to see Brunelleschi’s magnificent frescoes but also to the top of the exterior dome. Magnificent. Keep in mind that the climb is entirely via stairs, which may not be accessible to everyone.

It's confusing around the Duomo and finding the right check point for everything but John (I think that was his name) sent texts and even a phone call to make sure I found the Dome check point. Definitely went out of his way to make sure I was good. Super appreciated that.

The organization was excellent; the instructions were clear, and we easily found our meeting point, which was right near the tour’s starting point, so we didn’t have to wait in line early in the morning. Thank you—it was perfect.
