The guide was fantastic, easy to understand and engaging. The earphones and receiver we were using meant we heard everything he said without needing to cluster round him. He got the tickets for the cathedral for us, definitely the best way to do it.

This was definitely worth it! It got us into everything at the Cathedral and the views from the bell tower and dome were gorgeous!! It was nice going through at our own pace.

Tout s'est bien passé dans les horaire prévus. Le personnel est sympathique. Après les instructions manquaient parfois de clarté surtout pour entrer au musee des offices

Nous avions reçu un mail indiquant de se rendre au point de rencontre un quart d'heure à l'avance pour échanger nos billets. L'adresse donnée ne correspondait pas au point de rencontre. Et lorsque finalement on a trouvé le point de rencontre près de l'entrée du Dôme, très mal indiqué et peu visuel, une personne pas très aimable nous a envoyé balader car les billets que nous avions sur l'application n'avaient pas besoin d'être échangés. Au final, une attente inutile et une demi heure de perdue alors que nous pouvions nous rendre directement à l'entrée du Dôme. Très mauvaise expérience.

L'esperienza è stata bella. Poter saltare la fila ed entrare velocemente ad ogni attrazione. Nota negativa: avevamo SOLO accessso al Campanile,non alla Cupola.

Your experience

Santa Maria del Fiore, also known as The Duomo is a prominent landmark in Florence. Travel back in time through its hundreds of years of history and learn some interesting facts about the cathedral, a major architectural masterpiece ahead of its time.

Brunelleschi’s Dome continues to stun and intrigue to this day. The building plan was entered into a contest by Filippo Brunelleschi, an amateur architect with no serious training. After much contemplation, confusion, and controversy, his double-shell design was accepted and finally built. The result was a stunning masterpiece capable of withstanding lightning, earthquakes, and the passage of time.

If you choose a ticket with Giotto's Bell Tower, be prepared to climb over 400 steps! It's worth it in the end though as you'll be treated to a panoramic view of Florence. The Campanile is a true example of Florentine Gothic architecture from the 13th-century and was built by Giotto, one of the principal artists and architects of the time.

With the Museum and Baptistery ticket, you'll get to see over 750 works covering over 720 years of history. From Arnolfo to Donatello, up to Ghiberti and Michelangelo, the greatest Florentine sculptures in the world are here, at the Opera del Duomo Museum, for you to explore. Continue onwards to the Baptistery of San Giovanni, one of the oldest churches in Florence, located right in front of the cathedral. The Baptistery is topped by an eight-segment dome resting on its walls but it is best known for its three sets of bronze doors that come with relief sculptures - Michelangelo dubbed the east doors the Gates of Paradise.
