Up the stairs, to the views

There are a LOT of stairs, but the views are so worth it! My 14 year old granddaughter had not problem with the climb and was happy at both levels we attained, although stood back from the rail when reached the very top. There was plenty of room to enjoy the views over Florence and beyond.

Horrible

DO NOT BUY TICKETS HERE. The only thing they do for you is buy a ticket online from Opera del Duomo di Firenze and send them to you. You can buy tickets on the day of for only 15 euros without their help.

Operator response

Thank you for your comment. Yes, the tickets can also be purchased online. However, these are very high-demand tickets and are frequently sold out, especially for popular dates and times. To avoid any disappointment, we pre-reserve the tickets for everyone in advance. This reservation has an cost, which we pay upfront to secure the tickets for our guests. That is why our price may be slightly higher than the standard ticket price. The advantage is that you can visit on your scheduled day without having to worry about tickets being sold out or spending time trying to find availability. We take care of the reservation in advance so everything is ready for you. We believe this extra cost is completely justified by the convenience and, most importantly, the peace of mind of having your tickets secured in advance. Thank you

It was difficult to work out where to go and how to find the ticket I had paid for. As a result I missed the whole tour.

Paying to "skip the line" is worth it when you have limited time in a city.

We only had about 6 hours to spend in Florence on our tour so I bought the "skip the line tickets" which were great because the regular line was long and in the hot sun. They worked great. My only suggestions would be for these travel companies to EMAIL the tickets to us instead of having to meet up with someone in front of a store.

Enjoy the beauty of the outside. There's nothing inside to look at just stone walls, not your typical elegant European

Total waste of $60. Nothing in that church but ugly stone walls. It wasn't even beautiful inside and the crypt is a store to sell you garbage. It was a rip-off and I wouldn't recommend it. Just stay outside and enjoy the beauty of the outside of the church but don't waste your time or your money going inside.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologise that your visit did not meet your expectations. The cathedral is one of the city's most iconic landmarks, and while we understand that its architecture and interior may not appeal to everyone, personal preferences regarding the monument itself are unfortunately beyond our control. As promised, we provided you with priority entrance, allowing you to avoid the very long general admission queue, which is often a significant benefit for visitors. We are sorry that, despite this, you felt the overall experience did not represent good value. We appreciate your comments and will take your feedback into consideration. Thank you for visiting, and we wish you all the best on your future travels.

The duomo itself is amazing, however the guide was not helpful did not explain things well and where to go. Specifically speaking it was not clear what we did have access to, where to drop bags off, and where to enter with our tickets.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that the guidance did not meet your expectations. We always do our best to assist every guest as clearly as possible. If anything is unclear during the check-in process, we encourage our guests to ask again until everything is fully understood. Our host remains at the meeting point until all clients are confident about what is included in their tickets, where to leave their bags if needed, where to enter, and are ready to begin their visit. We appreciate your comments, as they help us improve our communication and provide a better experience for future guests. We hope that, despite this confusion, you were still able to enjoy the beauty of the Duomo.

Great value and skip the line!

We waited until we arrived in Florence to decide what to do. Many attractions require tickets way in advance but we did not know where we would like to spend our time until we arrived. My husband really wanted to do the Duomo. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there were still tickets for a 10am time, which was perfect because it had been so hot in Italy for our whole trip. The purchase was easy and confirmed quickly with clear instructions in where to go. It was suggested to arrive at 9:50-55 which we did and were 2nd in line. The doors open at 10:15 and security starts letting you in close to 10;30. Being able to go to the crypt, cathedral, baptistry and museum made this a great deal. Highly recommend this tour if you are okay doing it in your own and do not want to climb up to the cupola.
