We took the advice of a friend who had previously visited the Duomo but did not do a tour - he suggested it would’ve been a far better experience if he had… and he was right! We selected this tour based on many previous favorable reviews and my previous experiences with City Wonders tours.
One of the most immediate benefits to this tour is the ability to skip waiting in the long lines. Many tourists were in town due to it being Easter week and spring break. Our tour group had a special entrance with which allowed us to spend more time inside, experiencing the sites.
Our tour included admission into the Baptistry, the museum, the Duomo and the Bell Tower. For the first three stops we were accompanied by our guide, Claudio. The last site, the Bell Tower involves going up flights of stairs to enjoy various views of the city.
The second major plus to this tour is the incredible amount of knowledge shared by our guide, Claudio. The history and stories he shared about what we were seeing was tremendous!!! For me, this is what makes the difference between simply admiring the beauty of sites and being able to truly appreciate the history behind them.
This is a tour that delivers quality on all fronts: it’s informative, well-organized, and designed to give you a rich experience of the Duomo.
