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.

Get Irina as your tour guide! She was passionate, clear and extremely knowledgeable. She welcomed all of our questions and kept my teen’s interest the entire time. That’s no small task!

Our tour guide Elena was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us such great insight and historical context for the David. The Duomo is beautiful and we earned our gelato for the day by climbing all the stairs to the top ?

Such an amazing tour and experience! This tour gets you right pass all the lines to see David and to to the top of the Cathedral terraces and dome past lots of lines. Our tour guide was brilliant and helped explain the history of Florence, the art works and the construction of the cathedral. This is a do not miss experience!

Fantastic group tour with just the right number of people. We had 15. Super knowledgeable guide and SO worth not standing in the super long lines. Stairs are narrow and steep but worth the hike up!

The very smart, knowledgeable and friendly guide is a wonderful person. Made it to the top of the very windy ( at least on this day) dome. I’m a 65 year old guy who had open heart surgery two months ago, but it wasn’t that difficult. There are a couple of places on the way up where you can take some time to rest. You can do it! Fantastic view from up there. Truly remarkable the amount of treasures in Florence. More than you can possibly see on just one tour, but, I also liked how our tour included tickets to the Baptristry, the Duomo Museum, and the bell tower. I wasn’t expecting that, and the museum, especially, was spectacular.

This was the perfect tour! Our guide, I believe his name was Noble (?) was absolutely fantastic - he was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and kept things light and fun. The many stairs up to the top of the Duomo are worth it, truly. We feel so fortunate to have been able to go on the tour, skip the lines, and be matched with a wonderful guide. Thank you so much!!
