Amazing, highly suggest! - We LOVED our tour with Laura. She was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We went with our young kids and she made the experience very easy and comfortable. We highly suggest doing this tour private and guided. The lines were very long and we got to walk right up to the front. Since we don't speak Italian, having her with us was very helpful as well. She also helped us find a bathroom and water when our children needed it. 5 ⭐️!

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!
