Fun and informative! - I was so happy to see inside of and on top of the Duomo (something I was unable to do last time in Florence). The skip the line feature was key and the guide was great.

Awesome tour, incredible workout to the too of the dome! - Stephie gave a wonderful mini walking tour, Duomo museum and Duomo dome tour. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Dante , Brunellschi and the carhedral and dome and as the oldest couple in the group she was very patient with us as we climbed the 413 stairs to the dome giving us plenty of time to rest and then explaining everything we could see at the top as well as explaining the fresco painted on the ceiling of the dome. Well worth the tour. The only negative is that while our ticket gains us entry to the bell tower and cathedral for 2 more days it does not apply to the museum. Thanks Stephie!

We had a great experience... - We had a great experience on this tour! We were a little worried about climbing the dome, but our guide Bene kept us motivated and helped us get through it. The climb is definitely worth it!! The portion in the museum was very informative. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about the Duomo and climb the dome!

Huge Time Saver - Top notch tour guide who was incredibly knowledgeable. We skipped the line for the Duomo, which, even at 9:30 am, was huge and wrapped half way around the building. We also went to the Duomo museum, which was amazing. The climb to the top of the Duomo is not easy but worth it. 463 steps. Bring some water and comfortable shoes. The tickets are good for 2 more days in the event you want to come back or see things not included on the tour.

Over priced, get official tickets - I would recommended buying the tickets directly from the official site. I had bought a pass through official site but unfortunately the pass including the dome was sold out and we were dead set on seeing it. The dome is part of the cathedral and you can see everything other than an outside 360 view and the experience of the climb. Only would recommended again if you can get it through official site ticket. As far as the tour goes it was disappointing. They tell you to be there 10 minutes early yet the tour guide is not there yet, there’s no where to sit down, and the bathroom is unkept. It is nice that they have a water refill station. They all seemed unprepared and unorganized like they were scrambling. We have been on several tours this trip and on other. This was by far the worst head set. Lots of static and difficult to understand the guide. Guide seemed unorganized and did not chat much. We spent about a half hour to an hour in the museum, and then fifteen minutes in the cathedral talking about the clock and then paintings on the dome. Again not much information here. Then you do the climb. A family behind me was also complaining about the cost of the tour and the value we were getting out of it. All in all it’s over priced and you don’t walk away feeling like you know more than you did walking in. Save your money. If the dome is booked just go into cathedral and see the painting from there.
