Valeria is a great guide. She has provided a very personal experience and the whole tour felt like having a close friend showing us the city who has an in-depth knowledge about each and every aspect of the duomo from the history, relics to the constructions and material. Even the 2nd visit to the duomo for myself is a new eye-opening experience.
