Piazza San Giovanni, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy Begin your private tour in the heart of Florence at the stunning Piazza del Duomo, where your expert guide will introduce you to the historical and architectural significance of this religious hub. You’ll walk around the square to view the majestic Florence Cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore) from every angle. Then, step inside the Baptistery of St. John—one of the oldest buildings in Florence. Here, your guide will share the history behind its octagonal shape and reveal the meaning behind its stunning golden mosaic ceiling. Admire the renowned bronze doors by Lorenzo Ghiberti, famously dubbed the “Gates of Paradise” by Michelangelo. As you stand before these masterpieces, your guide will share stories about their creation and symbolism, offering a deep appreciation of the craftsmanship that defines Florence’s medieval and Renaissance art. 45 minutes
Piazza del Duomo, 9, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy Next, your journey continues to the nearby Duomo Museum (Museo dell'Opera del Duomo), a treasure trove of over 700 sacred and artistic works spanning centuries. Your guide will lead you through highlights of the collection, including Michelangelo’s powerful Pietà Bandini, which shows the artist’s deep emotional connection to his work in his later years. Marvel at the original Gates of Paradise, beautifully restored and preserved within the museum, and Donatello’s hauntingly expressive sculptures. You’ll also view the original wooden models and scaffolding used to construct Brunelleschi’s Dome—an engineering marvel of its time. This museum visit brings together the narrative of how the Duomo Complex was built, decorated, and maintained, giving you a clearer picture of its historical significance and the incredible artistic talent behind it. 45 minutes
Piazza del Duomo, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy As the guided portion concludes, your guide will escort you to the entrance of Brunelleschi’s Cupola, where your pre-reserved timed ticket allows access. Climb the 463 narrow steps used originally by maintenance workers—there's no elevator—to experience the cathedral’s dome like never before. Along the way, get up close to Vasari’s breathtaking Last Judgment frescoes and learn about their dramatic symbolism and artistic techniques. Near the top, your guide will explain the curious history of the balcony begun by Baccio D’Agnolo in 1507, with only one of eight sides ever completed. At the summit, soak in the 360° panoramic views of Florence. Afterward, continue exploring the Duomo Complex at your own pace: visit the stunning interior of Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, descend into the remains of the ancient Santa Reparata, and—if you wish—climb Giotto’s Bell Tower for one more unforgettable view.

Visita Guidata alla Cappella del Brunelleschi.
Esperienza unica, non solo per la meraviglia di quest'opera unica al mondo.
Ho prenotato sul sito di Civitatis, per me e i miei 2 figli, in tutta comodità.
Nei giorni precedenti una e-mail mi ha ricordato la prenotazione e il luogo dell'appuntamento con la guida.
Quest'ultima, Marco, persona squisita, veramente disponibile, chiara nelle spiegazioni e simpatica.
Ha catturato l'attenzione dei miei bambini che hanno compreso e imparato un sacco di cose nuove.
Ha risposto in modo esauriente a mille domande e reso interessante ogni singolo dettaglio della visita.
Le persone che amano il proprio lavoro si vedono, ci mettono il cuore e fanno molto più del "semplice dovere": questo sicuramente è il caso di Marco.
Tempo di attesa per entrare in Duomo ed accedere alla Cupola non più di 10 minuti.
