I booked for 9.30 entry. Met the Viator rep at 9.15. At 9.30 the guide took us to a queue for entry. I then discovered the Duomo did not open for us till 10.15?? It took about 10/15minutes to get to the Duomo entrance. So my 9.30 entry was 10.30...queuing for 1 hour...and we were in the Duomo approx 30 mins so the sale of this ticket was very misleading. However the guide Patricia was excellent and very informative. And the Duomo is definitely worth visiting.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the tour and that Patricia provided an excellent experience. Cathedral entry times and queues are managed by Opera del Duomo, and all groups must follow their official access procedures. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again in Florence.
Tour guide was energetic and did a good job explaining the tour. This tour was 2/3 outside the cathedral with guide explaining history of the facility, and 1/3 inside the cathedral.
They canceled my visit, and there is no way to contact them for the refund. I have tried in every possible way.
Sin embargo, no hemos cancelado su visita. Si su actividad fue cancelada, le recomendamos ponerse en contacto directamente con la plataforma donde realizó la reserva (Viator, GetYourGuide, Civitatis, Headout, etc.), ya que los reembolsos son gestionados por ellos. Si nos facilita su número de reserva, estaremos encantados de revisar el caso y ayudarle en todo lo posible.
With the guided tour there is no ‘skip the line’ entry. But the tour group uses the time in the line to tell you about Italy, the city and the beautiful exterior of the church. Before you know it you are inside and they are describing the rather ‘basic’ inside of the church. The duomo is a must see if visiting Florence.
The woman guide gave in depth information about medieval Florence & other near by city states, about the building of the Doumo m. She was very I formative through out. A Florence native she said she was baptized at the Baptisery. Excellent experience
You can purchase a ticket to go to the top of the dome. I would recommend doing that as long as you can go up 400 plus steps the view is amazing. Take your time and make sure to get a guided tour.
It was a hot day for queuing but it was in the shade so no problem, the guide , as like the last day out we had with you was excellent, very informative and funny , would recommend!!
It was mildly interesting. The tour guide spoke good English, but stylistically, repeated himself a lot to seemingly fill dead space. While there was a decent amount of history about the Medici and the history of the church, there wasn’t much about the art inside the church.
We are pleased to hear that you found the guide's English clear and easy to understand. We are sorry, however, that the tour did not fully meet your expectations regarding the depth of information about the artworks inside the church. The tour is designed to provide a balanced overview of both the history of the church and the important role of the Medici family in Florence's development. Nevertheless, we understand that some visitors would like more detailed commentary focused on the artistic aspects, and we appreciate your valuable suggestion. Your feedback has been shared with our guiding team as we continuously work to improve the experience for our guests. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Florence in the future. Kind regards, EU Tours Team
I found myself slowing down, looking longer, and appreciating more than I usually do at busy landmarks. If you’re someone who enjoys truly feeling a place rather than just seeing it, this experience inside the Duomo is absolutely worth your time. ✨
There’s a quiet magic inside Florence Cathedral that you won’t forget.The host and audio guide at Florence Cathedral made everything clear and enjoyable 😉
