Why you should go

This is a excellent tour where you can explore the great Duomo and discover all the hidden secret terraces. Learn all about the history and see all the masterpieces and experience all the wonders of ancient Cathedral of Florence.

Highlights

  • Get to know Duomo from a differen point a view
  • See the Brunelleschi Cupola, magical colossal clock by Paolo Uccello and more
  • Explore Cathedral, Baptistery, Giotto's Bell Tower, Brunelleschi's Dome and Great Museum of the Duomo

What shall I see

Duomo is yours to explore it completely.Admire the magical AERIAL PANORAMA of the cradle of Renaissance and learn the secrets of the Duomo from a different point of view. An exclusive and neverseen before perspective: admire Florence panorama from Duomoʼs 32 metres high TERRACES and climb up to the top of the Dome! Do not miss the chance to take a closer look at the incredible BRUNELLESCHI “CUPOLA”, a masterpiece of art and architecture that still remains unmatched and whose techniques of building are covered with a veil of mystery.

 Avoid the queues with our exclusive pass and follow our professional guides inside the immense wonders of the ancient Cathedral of Florence: be impressed by the unique frescoes by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari, admire the magical colossal clock by Paolo Uccello and discover the beauty of the marble floor with its intricate patterns. Then, climb the Northern terrace of the Cathedral rooftop, a suggestive walk through narrow and openair corridors that have been closed to the public for centuries. The panorama from up there will take your breath away! We are giving you the chance to join an elite tour within art and history and to discover the hidden Duomo terraces: the majority of tourists (as well as Florentines!) do not even know that they were planned!

The guided tour will end in the exclusive circular room (accessible only with our tour!) where you will have the opportunity to see the old statues which standed in the façade of the Duomo. In the room you can find the restorers at work with their spatulas and chisels still dirty and smelling of stucco.

The booking and meeting place were well done. Our guide was friendly, and I think she can improve her delivery. Her English is fine, but she races through her commentary, going from one scene to another with very few pauses. I know she’s done it 100s of times, and it’s helpful for her to remember it’s the first time for the people on the tour, many of whom speak English as a second or third language. I noticed that some other tour guides went all the way up to the top of the dome with their groups. Not saying this is necessary. However, I recommend that our guide could slow down her delivery, check with participants before moving on.

We started the tour with a guide who was very friendly but didn't speak very good English as a result her commentary about the Duomo was stilted and a bit awkward (14th August 2017). We moved ourselves to join another guide from the same operator who was much better. I would strongly advise visitors to complain if the guide is poor as the Duomo is such an amazing place and you need to appreciate it to the full.

However, the professional guides managing this activity are directly selected and prepared by the Opera del Duomo itself, so it seems a little bit strange to me that his/her English was not that good.
Anyway we are going to investigate on this matter and we would like to thank Miss Claire for having reported her dissatisfaction.
I hope that you appreciated at least the skip the line access to the Cathedral, the reserved entrance to Brunelleschi's Cupola, the exceptional opening of the secret terraces and the 48 hour ticket for the rest of the Duomo Complex (Baptistery, Giotto Bell's Tower, Opera del Duomo Museum.
