Fabulous guide and tour - Chiara was one of the best guides we have ever been with. The tour was wonderful. Seeing Florence and the Duomo at sunset and at night is magical.

Amazing tour - This is an evening tour of the Duomo, including not only the climb to the top of the dome, but also exclusive access to the terraces that are along the rooftop of the church. The tour includes wonderful interior and exterior views of the cathedral and dome, and beautiful views of the city of Florence. Our guide was super friendly, informative and hilarious. She had a vast knowledge of art, history and architecture. We were, as promised, the last group to leave the church. We got to experience the church as they shut off the lights for the night-amazing.

Duomo in the Sky. - What a great experience. The tour was very informative and adventurous with a climb of the Duomo and then a hike around the terrace in the evening. Great pictures and the cherry on top was when the Keymaster locked the Duomo for the evening and allowed us to hold the keys.

The view is worth the journey - This was a great experience - 463 steps up to the top of the duomo (broken down in parts). It also covers the terraces and the inside (after closing) so very few / if any other people are inside. The key is to know this all going in. We had a group where some people didn’t know about the climb, or didn’t have proper attire (it is a duomo). I think there is confusion for what this tour is. It is a climbing tour - you will have to climb 463 stairs but the top is worth it - the guide was great - and the view from the terraces was also fantastic. My wife and I had a great time and enjoyed it. My recommendation on this would would be to enjoy in the spring or fall as the summer can get quite hot and potentially make the climb more complicated for some people in the group.

Spend the bucks just do it - Wow spend the money and do this. The climb is not easy bur so worth it. We were a small group of six Stephano was our guide and he was excellent. Then the terraces beware narrow walk ways fantastic views. The cherry on the cake was being the last people in the cathedral so peaceful and the inside is quite plain compared to the outside. Then the locking of the doors excellent. Just do it.

Worth every 367 steps! - Chris was such an amazing tour guide. And we had no idea we were gonna be privy to such secret spaces in the Duomo. It was educational, breathtaking, and spiritual all the same time. We are so glad we did that.
