We booked the early...

Georgia_A, Mar 2026
We booked the early morning private tour in English with Annette M from Babylon tour. We LOVED having Annette as our tour guide and can’t say enough how happy we were with her. She was punctual, friendly and vastly knowledgeable we learned so much and left with a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Basilica and El Duomo itself. Thank you Annette M and Babylon tours for making our first trip to Florence unforgettable.

Great (but intense) for families!

This was so fun to do with kids! Laura was 5 stars! This is the right way to experience Florence’s majestic Duomo. I loved the way that you could take a break and come back for the climb. The only reason I put four stars is that we planned for 8 of us to climb but only four of us could do it. If you are at all out of shape or claustrophobic or especially fearful of heights, skip this one and just tour the bottom!
