We really enjoyed our tour of the Duomo that included a climb to the top of the dome. Our guide, Giacamo, was very knowledgeable and funny. Everything was on-schedule, check-in was easy. It was well worth it.
We used The Tour guy on several other tours while in Italy and all had very knowledgeable guides.
Lots of steps

Anna our tour guide was really good. Unfortunately our tour was changed and we only got the tour with the guide of the Duomo climb. Once we entered the stairs of the dome we no longer could hear Anna's comments. The view was spectacular!!!!!! We did make use of the museum, baptistry and underground passes that came with the ticket on later days, since most of our tour was cancelled on our chosen day. Highly recommend if you're willing to climb up a lot of stairs.
complete duomo trip

Now you need to be close to an Olympic athlete and bring your own AED machine to get to the top but boy was it worth it. I put this next to the electric bike tour as the best tours we went on out of 8

Jacomo was very knowledgeable. If we knew the tickets included 4 other attractions we would’ve done the tour earlier and not on our last day in Florence. The tour met expectations

I feel bad that I did not take note of our tour guide’s name…. But, she was beyond knowledgeable… I mean she gave us more than enough information throughout the entire tour… she was find and friendly and answered all of our questions… she was so patient when someone in our group wandered away… my respects to The Tour Guide… If I could buy a T-shirt from the tour guide I would and I will help advertise throughout the year. Great job and I thank you sincerely for making our experience memorable.

This was a neat little tour…. Would have enjoyed it more if it weren’t so hot the day I went! Wish we could have spent more time on the terraces (which was the coolest part in my opinion) but we all needed to get out of the Sun!
We felt like the Top of the World and had the guide to take us there

My wife and I almost never do tours when we travel but this time was an exception. After walking around for 2 days before we booked 1 of 2 tours with The Tour Guy, we realized there was so much information about everything that we needed more knowledge and guidance. Here comes the most warm, genuine, and knowledgeable guides. Every question was answered with background and reason. Firenze has so much to look and know about that, we are already anxiously awaiting our return to Firenze and other Italian cities where The Tour Guy will be utilized again and again. We are hooked.
Great views and interesting information

The guide that told us about the cathedral was very interesting, telling us the symbolism of the paintings and explaining the very impressive dome painting. The view from the terraces was very impressive, and at the very top of the cathedral you could see the whole of Florence. The only thing is the steps towards the top are very steep, the last few steps to get out onto the terrace was practically a ladder. One lady on the tour with us was unable to make it to the top.
