From the guide

Join this informative guided tour exploring the Florentine religious centre by walking around Baptistery, Belltower, Duomo and then visit the Cathedral with an exclusive opportunity to skip any line and go straight inside the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral with a professional, licensed and fluent English speaking guide. You will spend 55 minutes on the square, 45 minutes inside the Cathedral.

You will be entering a church therefore shoulders must be covered and shorts/skirts are allowed only if reaching the kneecap.

People stand in the ordinary line for over one hour, make the most of your stay and explore both the outside and, skipping any line, the inside of the Florentine Duomo with our guides!

Itinerary

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore Stop 1
Before skipping 100% any queue and admire the monumental interior of Florence Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore, your local English-speaking guide will give you a wealth of information about all the religious buildings on Piazza del Duomo to fully then appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the immense social value of Florence Cathedral, Baptistery, Belltower and Brunelleschi's dome. The visit inside the Cathedral will be conducted "beyond the ropes", an exclusive route, accessible to just few groups a day, permitting you to also stand right under Brunelleschi's dome by the high altar of the Cathedral.
