Grateful for Reputable Operator when issues arose

Kristin_C, Jun 2024
We had some issues with this experience, and ended up having to climb the dome without any guide (there was some kind of scheduling issue, which was ok)...and then the audio guide was not accessible. We were worried, but our tour operator made it right (a partial refund) and things worked out. Honestly, just the climb was awesome, and the company apologized for the issues, so we have no complaints. We would work with them again!

Duomo Brunelleschi- climb

Jen_K, Mar 2024
360 view of Florence from top of Dome was fantastic. I didn’t think climb difficult however it is tight and lots of steps that spiral. Our particular guide just ok. Not organized with his content which in my opinion is the key difference between a great guide and a mediocre one.
