Overview
Witness the Glory of the Florence Dome Visit the Florence Dome and enjoy reserved access to the iconic Cupola on this 1-hour guided tour. Once you’ve met your guide, you will be led past the ticket line and the group will head straight for the Duomo Cupola. The climb to the Cupola and the unparalleled views of the city from the top are the highlights of this experience. Built by Filippo Brunelleschi, this red dome was the largest in the world in its time and soon became a symbol of Florence.
Throughout your tour of the Dome Cupola, you will be accompanied by a licensed English-speaking guide who will share fascinating insights about the Cupola, the Duomo and its jaw-dropping architecture. From your unique vantage point at the Cupola, you will be able to see the entire city of Florence. This trip to the top of the Duomo includes a 463-step climb to the top. On your way up, you will also get to marvel at the stunning Duomo interiors, including a chance to see Vasari’s Last Judgment up close. While inside the Cupola, your guide will also give you first-hand information about the Cathedral which you can easily spot from inside the Cupola or from the access entrance itself.
After your guided tour of the Cupola, you are given free access to explore the Duomo at your own pace. The Dome sits on the site of the 7th-century Church of Santa Reparata. This vast Gothic structure showcases the best of 13th and 15th-century architecture and took over 150 years to complete. A statue of each of the architects, Arnolfo di Cambio and Filippo Brunelleschi, can be found right outside the cathedral in admiration of their work.

the tour guide was fantastic. He explained to us where everything was in Firenze and was very knowledgeable. The climb is quite steep and the hallways are definitely not for those who are claustrophobic. Would 100% recommend if you love the Duomo!

My lady friend and I (both age 64) did the climb. It was strenuous, but we made it. The climb gives you the chance to get up close and personal with the frescoes on the inside of the dome, which are beautiful. It also gives a spectacular view of the city. Recommendation: Do this on Day 1 so you can see where the attractions are in the city, in relation to one another.I do not recommend trying this with kids under age 10. I do not recommend it for tired guests, or guests with back, knee, or ankle problems.If I bring my kids (ages 10 and 16) to Florence I would do this with them.

An amazing place.
The artistry and decor is something I have not seen before.
You can go up the dome and see florence in a different way.
It is worth every penny and places like this have a special aura to them that cannot be replicated.
Go and you will not be disappointed
A great tour and ended up just being us. Very knowledgeable and thorough. Really catered to what we liked and our base knowledge. Very well spoken and intelligent dialogue. Great for both young and old.
