After thinking we would not be going up the Dome, as we had not prebooked tickets, we were very pleased to find DoTravel offering tickets at a very reasonable price - only 4 Euros more than booking directly. This was certainly much cheaper than any other travel company. We did find it very difficult to find Arnold Cofee as it is not located in the correct place on Google Maps. However, if you go to the door used to enter the Dome and walk straight across the street you come to the cafe. The tickets worked really well and we were extremely pleased with the whole experience. A big thank you to Do Travel as we thought we had missed our opportunity to climb the dome or would have had to pay 50 Euros each at least for the experience. Would definitely recommend them.

We had a great guide who willingly took pictures of everyone as we bravely climbed our way to the top. It's a LOT of stairs. She was friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was excellent
