It was truly an unforgettable experience. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable - not only about the cathedral itself, but also about Florence & Italian history, art, and culture. He shared so many fascinating insights. It was clear he is deeply passionate. Highly recommend this tour 😊

Great tour of the museum, babtistery and the cathedral. Irena was brilliant, I really enjoyed listening to her interesting facts. I walked up the bell tower, recommend you take water with you. Great views from the top of the dome, worth so many steps!

Carla Ximena – IrelandJune 6, 2025 – Verified booking
The tour was very comprehensive. Leonardo, who was our guide, was very knowledgeable and kind when asked questions. The tour starts at the museum, where he explained the most important pieces, then moves to the Baptistery and the Church while explaining details of the construction and history. At the end, you have time to visit the Tower on your own.
