Florence for luxe lovers

I missed one star because the guide directed us from the Cathedral trough the gates for upper terraces. Afterwords we find out that if we like to see the Crypt at the basement, we have to do it after climbing down from the Dome and to take the cue for entering again in the Cathedral! My opinion is that the guide should advise us to see first the Crypt once we were already inside! It is true that in such case, the guide should wait for the group and after to climb up together for the first terrace where the Bishops are. I consider that my comment it's useful for other visitors. Thank you!

Tours in the rain are not the best, but our tour guide did a great job. Explained a lot and showed everything as far as possible. She also took care of the little things of individuals. It was fun.

The tour was one of our most memorable experiences in Florence. We really enjoyed it! The views from the dome were spectacular.

As we were short on time it was really useful to skip the queues, and it did feel special to stand on the roof of the Duomo Cathedral so close to the Dome and well placed to enjoy the red tiled rooves of all the surrounding buildings. The meeting point address took us somewhere else further along the avenue on google maps which was a bit of a stressful start and I'd liked to have heard more about the Cathedral rather than all the placatory chat about the steps and where you could turn back if you didn't want to go up them when it seemed clear that steps were a part of the tour.
