Must Do!
Carol_D, Jun 2023
This climb is not for the faint of heart, but you must do it anyway. The views from the top of the Duomo are spectacular and totally worth the climb. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and patient with those of us who were a little slower. This is a must do when in Florence
A great time!

A friend recommended this tour and it was definitely worth it! we also booked very last minute and most tickets where sold out so this is a good way to get in this astonishing must do activity in florence. It’s a unique way of experiencing the duomo and the views do not disappoint. Our guide was also very friendly and knowledgeable.

Wish I would have started my trip with this
heyitsmekyle, Oct 2019
400+ steps and totally worth it. Our tour guide was excellent. The view was great, the structure incredible. Wish I would have done it to start the trip because it gives you a good sense of the city layout, what things to see, where to go. Very happy we did it!
