Guide tips
Itinerary
Your tour begins near the Florence Duomo
Meet your guide just steps from the Florence Duomo in central Florence. As the group gathers, your guide sets expectations for this focused 30-minute visit and explains how the cathedral and square shaped Florence’s religious life.
Enter the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
Head inside the Gothic cathedral with your skip-the-line Duomo tickets. While you take in the vast nave, marble floors, and the base of Brunelleschi’s dome, your guide gives a concise overview of how this church transformed the city’s skyline.
Gaze up at The Last Judgement
Standing beneath the dome, you look up to see Giorgio Vasari’s dramatic fresco of The Last Judgement filling the ceiling. Your guide highlights key scenes of angels, saints, and everyday Florentines, so you understand how this artwork combines faith, fear, and civic pride overhead.
Your tour finishes at the Misericordia Museum entrance
The guided portion of your tour ends by the entrance to the Misericordia Museum beside the cathedral. With your included access, you can continue inside at your own pace to explore its historic artifacts or step back into Piazza del Duomo to keep discovering central Florence on your own.

Valentina was very knowledgeable and provided details about the Duomo that you would not observe or understand the context on your own. A guided tour is a must!
Busy place, Learned a lot.

Communication was great. Connected with the guide easily. The guide was very informative. I missed a fair amount of the information because of fast paced speaking, mediocre earpiece quality and background noise. The guide using a headset to keep her mic an optimal distance from her mouth might have helped. It was an excellent informative tour.
