Florence: Duomo Complex Private Guided Tour & Optional Dome Climb
Overview
Enjoy a walk in the city of beauty discovering the majestic Duomo with its Dome built by Brunelleschi and discover with your guide step by step all the phases of its creation.
When it was built, Santa Maria del Fiore was the largest existing basilica with its 153 meters long and still today it impresses visitors with its majesty.
Giotto’s tower is the Cathedral Bell Tower and its construction is contemporary to the one of the church.
Visit to the Baptistery of Saint John, with its precious mosaics, and the Museum of the Cathedral preserving the original "Gate of Paradise" made by Ghiberti and one of the most touching Michelangelo's Pietá!
Then climb the famous Brunelleschi's Dome, not only a symbol of beauty, but also a magnificent sample of ingenuity and technical expertise.
We have designed this experience to allow participants to admire all these works representing the timeless beauty and ingenuity of Florentine art.
