We had THE BEST tour guide. He was so deeply integrated with not just the history of the structures themselves but the people and town. It was so interesting to learn about these iconic places. I also liked that you could climb the bell tower on your own time. 2 hours is the perfect amount of time and is well worth it with the guide to not stand in long lines. Definitely recommend.

The guide Sylvia Botticelli was lovely. She knew so much and was so informative. I wish the tour could’ve gone for longer. I learnt so much and she tied together the info was other aspects of history which contextualised things nicely. The one star off is because the Duomo doesn’t have a separate entrance for tours so we had to join the long line. This wasn’t Sylvia’s fault or the company’s but it’s good to have in mind if you have plans for after the tour. It’s good to have a buffer.

This tour is fantastic. Our guide Claudio was superb. He was extremely knowledgable and provided us with very interesting facts and anecdotes. The Baptistery, Cathedral and Duomo museum are a must. Highly recommended. The climb up the tower is somewhat claustrophobic but well worth the exercise which involves some 400 steps. The last visit to the tower is at six thirty. Advise any visitor to leave the tower visit until late afternoon to avoid queues and roads go up and down the tower
