Florence Duomo Complex Private Guided Tour

Wonderful experience. Irina was amazing with great insights and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour for family and or friends.

It was a wonderful experience and our tour guide, Irina, was absolutely one of the best. She spent a little extra time with us because we ended up running slightly late and told us so many wonderful and historic things that we didn't know before. The church is beautiful and the museum is amazing as well.

The wealth of knowledge the tour guide holds enriches the experience tremendously. Better than seeing on your own

Our guide, Irina, was outstanding. She covered the history of the Duomo and the church of St. Rapparata. She pointed many of the details in the paintings. frescos, floors, and construction we might have otherwise missed. We will recommend this tour to our friends.

We went on three tours with Irina and they were all excellent. The tour to the Duomo took us through the construction and various architectural aspects of the church. She uses her iPad to help illustrate some of the more difficult to visualise parts. This could be very dry, but Irina makes it entertaining throughout. We visited the Baptistry and the splendid museum. Irina’s commentary bringing all of it into focus. The other major benefit of booking with Irina is that she pre-books all the tickets and makes sure they’re available for you at the times you want and you never have to queue. To be highly recommended.

Irina was excellent! She was very informative, and answered all of our questions. Thank you so much!

Irina made the meet up process incredibly easy. The tour was wonderful. She was so warm, interesting, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour.

Irina was above and beyond one of the best guides we had this week. So knowledgeable - great communication before and after the tour. A private tour with early entry was such a great treat and she made it even better.

I was fortunate to take two tours with Irina. My first was of the Accademia—I posted a review of that tour and refer you to the very positive comments in that review. In this review I want to comment on what made her such a joy to tour with: her wonderful way of conversing and also communicating a great deal of useful information, which “sticks” because of her style. I have worked with other guides who convey many facts but leave me ot really retaining what they said; the opposite is true of Irina. She is among the very best “teachers” I have encountered in a long career as a professor. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I cannot imagine touring the Duomo without our guide Irina. To say she was spectacular is an understatement. My wife and I have been on many tours throughout Europe and they're usually miserable -- a couple dozen people, you can hardly hear the guide, you certainly don't get the chance to ask the guide many questions. Honestly, it's a bit of a waste. Irina's tour was the exact opposite. My wife and I booked a private tour with her, and it was just the three of us. Her English was impeccable, and she navigated the site like a true insider. We saw things we would have missed had we tried it alone. She was patient and unbelievably knowledgeable, spending as much or as little time as we wanted at a particular exhibit. I'm not exaggerating when I say she made the trip an unforgettable experience. Should we ever return to Florence, we certainly will book a tour with Irina again. Thank you so much!
