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

Climbing the Duomo’s magnificent dome is nothing short of stepping inside a living masterpiece. Brunelleschi’s audacious engineering surrounds you at every turn—the spiral staircases feel like secret passages from another century. As you ascend, you come face-to-face with Vasari’s enormous fresco of the Last Judgment, so close you can study the brushstrokes and the drama of the figures. The higher you go, the thicker the air of anticipation becomes. Then, suddenly, you emerge onto the terrace at the very top, and Florence unfurls before you: a quilt of terracotta roofs, cobbled lanes, and the shimmering Arno River winding through history itself. The view is dizzying, humbling, unforgettable.

The audio guide content was quite superficial, I expect to get a little more detail on important features of an exhibition. Very light on content. Aweful background music playing throughout!? Why? The place is already noisy with tourists additional in ear noise distracting from the audioi isn't coolMaddeline

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!

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.
