This tour is not for those who have a hard time climbing stairs. Count on a good climb but its worth it. The views of Florence you get from there are stunning. Our guide was funny as well as very knowledgeable. Recommend!

Awesome tour with a great guide. Climbing to the top of the Duomo is worth it so if you are physically capable, you should do it. The tour lets you skip the Domo terrace queue which is super long.

I found this tour to be a nice balance of art history and orientation to Florence City. The guide, Daniela, was very knowledgeable about art history, the Florentine Renaissance masters, in particular, Michaelangelo, and was engaging and interesting throughout the tour.
