Skip the line was well worth the cost of the tour. The information was helpful and improved my experience in the Cathedral.

Our tour guide, Laura, was fantastic. We had a public celebration that distracted our tour and she was very flexible with it. The 3 stars is because, based on the title, we though we had purchased the Duomo tour with the Duomo climb option… but the climb was not included and we were not given a yes/no option for the climb when we purchased the tour. The title was deceiving and therefore deserves a lower rating.

This experience was wonderful. Easy to find meeting point, lovely guide who was very easy to understand and we were able to hear her on audio devices too. The Duomo was spectacular and to be given information about the Medici too was great. A very worthwhile experience.

We were there 30 minutes before the tour was to start and we couldn’t find the person we were supposed to meet we asked around but nobody knew what we were talking about so after 45 minutes we left dissapointed with not seeing the Duomo and out of pocket as well. We have been on other tours and have had no issues so I don’t know what happened with this one.
