Explore Florentine art and architecture on a tour that gets you past the typical long lines at the Accademia Gallery and the Duomo. You'll breeze past the long line to marvel at Michelangelo’s statue of David, granting you incredible insight into the mind of a master. After, you’ll stop at Piazza del Duomo outside the Baptistery and check out the incredible bronze-cast doors by Lorenzo Ghiberti, coined the "Gates of Paradise" by Michelangelo. Continue on to the jewel of Florence, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, with a special skip-the-line entrance up to the terraces—an exclusive space rarely visited by the general public. You’re welcome to continue your journey up to the top of Florence by climbing to the top of the dome to soak up even more spectacular views of the city. With all entrance fees included, an expert guide, and a small group of just 18 guests max for a more intimate experience, there’s no better way to see Florence’s top attractions.

The Duomo was an amazing experience that was narrated well. The sites were beautiful, the art was fantastic, and the climb & view were worth it.

We had a great tour today. Patricia, our tour guide, had so much knowledge of Florence. We had an early tour that started at 8:15 AM, which I highly recommend. We toured Accademia (David), Santa Maria Cathedral, and we walked up to the cupola (463 steps built in 1292). It was amazing view at the top of the cupola.

Great tour, our guide was very informative and knowledgeable. The view from the lantern was well worth the climb to the top.

We toured the Academia and Duomo with Nebor/Nebojs who was extremely passionate and knowledgeable. We got so much out of the tour and would not hesitate to book with Walks again for any tour. Highly recommend this to anyone, so worth the ability to access the terrace and climb the Duomo.

This was a fantastic tour with our guide Angela!!!
She was very engaging and made the tour so interesting with lots of facts and history.
The climb to the top of the Duomo is a must because the views are spectacular. I highly recommend plus skipping the line was great, the lines were long!!!
