The Baptistery the Museum of the Duomo and tue Cuppola. We also liked the guide as he was approachable, friendly and knowledgeable.

Our guide Illaria was great! Fun group! Not easy climbing to the top but views are well worth it! I highly recommend this tour!

Great Views!

Anthony_H, Sep 2019

Walking up the dome was a great experience. There are almost 500 steps but totally worth the climb. We did have time to rest a few times going up while learning the history of the Cuploa Dome. The view from the top was spectacular! Getting a close-up view while climbing up of the interior dome artwork was amazing. And the ticket for the Dome gave us Free access to the museum and the church afterwords! Great tour!
