Experience the Heart of Florence with a certified guide, exploring the city’s rich history, art, and architecture. Begin your journey at the Baptistery of San Giovanni, where breathtaking Byzantine mosaics adorn the vaulted ceiling, and step outside to admire the magnificent East Door by Lorenzo Ghiberti, famously known as the "Gates of Paradise." Continue to the Opera del Duomo Museum, discovering a remarkable collection of masterpieces that once belonged to the city’s religious complex, including Michelangelo’s moving “Pietà,” created late in his life.

Denny
Climbing the more than 400 steps to the top of this marvelous structure, whose construction remains a mystery, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I arrived early because Italians have trouble properly marking where things are. Make the reservation online.
Catherine
Great info about the Pantheon. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Great tour.
Thomas
Beautiful views of all of Florence and pretty well organized. It was roughly 30 euros for the ticket, (but gives you access to also to bunch of other cool things at the dome). The number of steps is significant, but for the height, traffic was very well organized and they made sure you will not run into anyone going up or down the stairs, (at least going the opposite direction of you). Beyond the views of the city, and the coolness factor of climbing, they organized some great exhibits of the history of the construction, and you can make out more of the domes painting. It also gives a great perspective of the sheer size of the cathedral. Definitely worth doing, and probably one of the best church climbs I've seen in Europe
Randy
Definitely worth doing. Prepare yourself for the stairway in terms of claustrophobia and exertion. I was impressed by a variety of people that did it though. Some were struggling a lot. Even with a ticket and time booked, it was quite the lineup to get in, but it moved quickly. No explanations or guide, so I recommend finding a podcast that can explain it as you go up. The view from the lantern is amazing. Being able to see a frescos close-up, also very cool. You get to walk right alongside them. Some good plaques and museum pieces along the way.
Sidónio
Gorgeous! The climb up can be difficult specifically at the end where it starts getting narrower and narrower. Be prepared for lots of people everywhere surrounding the Cathedral. At the middle of the way up, there's a stop to admire the dome then the second part continues until you arrive to the top of the dome. These tickets have to be bought in advance, the Brunelleschi Pass, it's very rare to get one on the same day.
Gina
Our tour guide was wonderful. The directions we received for the initial meeting were not good. The times and locations were completely inaccurate. This was very frustrating to say the least. Once we met with our guide the tour was wonderful and the guide excellent.
Claire
Brilliant guide and very knowledgeable and passionate about her city. Gracias!
Rita
Nicola was a wonderful guide. the information in the Baptistry and the museum was exception. I highly recommend going with this tour.
Karthika
Its beautiful monument how our ancestors gave attention to details. Astounding work worth your time to admire it. Brunelleschi's Dome has 463 steps to the top, a journey that takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour and involves climbing through tight passages within the double-shelled dome. I have shared few photos of the visual experience inside and on the top of the dome. Once you start climbing you can't climb down in the middle, as you need to use same narrow flight of stairs to the top and climb down.
Kenneth
Tour was excellent. Helps having someone point out and explain things of interest. Only improvement would be a better meeting point. We had a group of 25 people.
