A nice adventure

This ticket makes visiting the Duomo as simple as 1, 2, 3: ​You skip the massive main queue. ​You scan your phone and enter. ​You put on your headphones and learn the history at your own pace. The inside is beautiful but simple, so the audio guide is really what makes the visit interesting.

An easy experience

The line for people without tickets is crazy long. With this, we went inside in minutes. The audio guide is very easy to use on your phone—just remember to bring your own earphones! It’s a great, stress-free experience.

Guide talks you through the hour-long line in the sun

Guide talks you through the hour-long line in the sun - all to get in the same door that is free - what a waste

Not worth it

Not worth paying for. You are in the same LONG line as everyone and admission is free to the public. There is no benefit to take this tour

Operator response

The tour fee is not only for admission, but also for the guided experience. During the visit, the guide provides approximately one hour of detailed information about the church, its art and architecture, and the history of Florence, which many visitors find valuable and enriching. Regarding the queue, waiting times are typically well managed and generally do not exceed 20 minutes. We appreciate your perspective and are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations
