Manuel was an excellent guide who spoke very good English and had exceptional knowledge of the architecture and structure of the Dome. As an engineer in the construction industry, I loved this tour and Manuel's passionate description of the history, design and construction. Waiting time was minimal and Manuel kept us entertained every minute of the tour. This is truly a unique structure and well worth a visit. If you intend to visit Florence, I thoroughly recommend this tour.

A unique place and must-do thing in a Florence without a doubt. You really want to see the view from all up there, believe me. One of the best views on the city in my life. And definitely, Manuel was an exceptional guide. His passion and interest in Santa Maria del Fiore structure are making him the best guide you can ever wish to spent all this way up with. Kind and happy man. Wish him health and luck.

We very much enjoyed our visit with Giacomo. We felt that he gave us a very good overview of the dome's construction and the paintings on the cupola. Plenty of time to recover at different levels from the climb, people who were slower were encouraged and not made to feel that they were delaying the group. View from the top is spectacular. Thank you Giacomo for a great tour

Our guide, Manuel, was not only kind and very patient but also so incredibly knowledgeable! He went at the proper pace for the group (since the climb was slightly strenuous) and seemed so excited about what he was talking about. The view was stunning and overall it was just what we hoped the tour would be!

With Manuel we had a very well experienced and truly inspired guide who was absolutely engaged in all his stories about the Duomo and the Coppola he told us. It was a truly amazing experience with him which my son and I will never forget.
