Worth it!
It's valid for several days but I managed it all in one go as I wasn't in Florence long. I went in March and chose the 10am slot- queues were short at this time. The views are spectacular from the dome and the bell tower! Take water

Florence Doumo rooftop and cathedral
The Doumo walk is a lot of stairs, be prepared. Entrance via the crypt avoiding the long cathedral lines. Lovely fresco in the dome tho dramatic scenes. Well worth viewing as you go up the stairs.

Low value tour
Very little info provided. Just a couple short audio clips
Operator response
Hi Sean, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm sorry to hear the audioguide didn't meet your expectations. Our app actually includes more than 20 audio stops covering the Dome and the entire Duomo Complex, designed to accompany visitors throughout the visit rather than as just a few standalone clips. It's possible some of the content wasn't accessed during your experience, and we're sorry if that wasn't clear. We really appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve both the app and the instructions we provide before the visit. Thank you again, and we hope you'll have the opportunity to experience Florence with us again in the future. John

Must see in Florence
Good advice to go early. Attention 2x + 400 steps to climb.
Operator response
Merci pour votre avis 😊 Vous avez tout à fait raison : partir tôt est souvent la meilleure façon de profiter pleinement de l'expérience. Et oui, entre le Dôme et le Campanile, les jambes s'en souviennent ! Mais les vues au sommet valent largement l'effort. Merci encore d'avoir partagé votre expérience 🙏 John

Worth the effort!
The dome climb is not for those with mobility issues. Very rewarding once you reach the top. perfect weather is a big key to maximizing the experience. We did not experience other options from the package, but overall is a great box checker!!
Operator response
Hey David! Grazie mille - really appreciate this. You said it well: it’s a bit of an effort, but the payoff at the top makes it worth it. And yes, good weather definitely takes it to another level 🔝 Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏 John

Great experience!
Great experience. Easy use. Recommended to buy tickets for exhibits for ease and quickness. All the spaces were easy to get into especially when it’s really busy.

Great Duomo experience!
John was a great guide. We followed his instructions on where to go and it was super smooth. I recommend downloading the PDF to the phone. You need this to enter all exhibits so being familiar with the PDF and making it large so the readers see it. We needed it for the dome twice, the cyrpt entry to the Duomo (near the bell tower), the cyrpt entry in the basilica and the bapteristy. All the entry people if you had the PDF accessible. There are line but just follow these for the entries with tickets. You can wait until the afternoon too. John is great and respsonsive if you have questions, he was great.
Operator response

Stunning!!
Stunning, most beautiful way to see all of Florence! But before you do make sure you are ready to climb a lot of stairs. 463 to be exact!
Operator response
Dear Deanna, Thank you for your feedback! Stunning is the right word - and yes, those 463 steps are part of the adventure! Well worth it once you reach the top. Hope to see you again in Florence. Warm regards, John Walks in Town
