Review of Florence’s $10.24 Duomo cathedral tour, with guided art, audio headsets, meeting details, value advice, and clear dome-ticket warnings.
“This tour is a waste of money. Too expansive and the tour guide don't provide detailed informations about the Duomo. Just buy ticket to climb the Duomo stairs by yourself and would be more worth it. The Guy who welcome us at the beginning of the tour is rude, honestly, first bad experience in Italy. All of the remaining tours guide we've booked were awesome. Dont book this tour, buy a ticket yourself just in front of the Cathedral.”

“The reviews don’t lie. Ivan is truly excellent and this is a brilliant tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour immersion in Florentine fashion as we strolled around with Ivan, hearing fascinating stories and history about the key players from Ferragamo and Fendi to Gucci and Pucci. The Palazzo Gucci was great but better still was Ivan’s incredible knowledge on all things fashion, luxury ans local lore. I loved this tour as did my 14 year old daughter who proclaimed it a highlight of the trip. Thank you so much. Ivan - you’re a brilliant storyteller.”
