Visit the majestic Florence Duomo, the architectural masterpiece and symbol of the city.

This incredible feat of engineering required a whole new process for its construction. Your guide will explain everything whilst you're touring the inside and the outside. Brunelleschi's innovative approach involved vaulting the dome space without any scaffolding as he used a double shell with a space in between.

Inside, the Duomo is no less impressive, with elaborate marble floors mirroring its exterior and beautiful frescoes lining the dome, made by Vasari, namely the Last Judgement.

This tour also includes entry tickets to the Museo della Misericordia, which displays some works of art from the Renaissance. You'll be able to access the museum independently after the tour.

Great to skip the queue

very knowledgable guide office staff very friendly and helpful we were happy to also be invited to see the museum

Our tour guide was incredible. She was very knowledgeable and knew how well to present the facts in a wonderful way. The tour itself was great!

A well run tour, made great buy a very knowledgeable guide who not only gave all the information on the Duomo but some really interesting bits of history on Florence. Had a bit of trouble trying to find the meeting point though.

Great guide well organised - would recommend
