Great informative tour
Alex was incredibly informative and passed on a wealth of knowledge about the cathedral and its history. The hour went very quickly and a great way to see the cathedrals free to enter areas.

Tour of the Duomo
I write in appreciation of Tigets tours and especially our guide today, Alex. Alex brought a real verve and energy to the task of guiding if us through the history of the “Duomo” and the ancient city of Florence. She made the history come alive through her stories and she demonstrated a wide knowledge of her subject as she answered our questions. I really recommend catching one of her tours.
