Overview of your Florence tour:

A fascinating building site that lasted for over a millennium, the Duomo complex is the religious heart of the city, the center of its civic pride, the testimony of Florentine genius and the wealth of Florence in the Renaissance. Instrumentalized by politicians for centuries, managing the wealth poured into the building and embellishment of the Cathedral was as lucrative as managing hedge funds today. We discover how Brunelleschi built his famous dome, visit the interior of the Cathedral and the Baptistery, discuss the Bell Tower and other surrounding buildings, admire the original Gates of Paradise in the Museum of the Cathedral, as well as Michelangelo's statue of Pietà, the Byzantine mosaics of the Baptistery, the Altar of St. John the Baptist and several statues by Donatello. After the tour, you will be able to climb the Dome of Florence with skip-the-line access. On request, the guide will also organize a special private opening to walk the terraces of the Cathedral (please book well ahead).

Your Florence tour itinerary
