Great tour and info - Great tour. Purchase souvenirs after as you cannot bring glass/ceramic up to rooftop (we had purchased magnets and shot glasses)

Duomo spectacular roof top - The views and seeing the architecture up close was amazing. The tour guide (did not get her name) was pleasant & injected humor into the experience. I appreciate that her partner held a ceramic mug for me that I had just purchased since I was not aware of that restriction. I did it on a Saturday and it became so crowded with people on the walkways that I lost the tour guide. Lots of “dead spots” where audio is lost inside stairways etc. I can’t imagine being there when it is even more crowded. Followed the crowd to find my way down and to exit. Fortunately able to easily locate her partner to get my mug back. I am glad I experienced the roof top but, missed most of the history that was discussed.

A tough day for the tour company - I use Viator when traveling. Usually great. This one was particularly bad. We had an issue entering the duomo due to ticket issues resulting in a 45 minute delay at the roof top. The group was large and the radio reception was not great. The guide just kept moving along and not checking in with us. We were then late for dinner reservations. The next day we had a half day tour and it was great. Bad day for the booking company unfortunately.

Do not do duomo rooftop tour! - Very disappointed with this tour. Was so looking forward to going to the rooftop of the Duomo. Difficulty finding the meeting place. Guide gave us audio headsets and took us to lift. After that we were left to our own devices. Would never consider this a tour. Really appalling tour, so disappointed with Viator & wander in Italy tour organisers.

Disappointing - For a 50+ Euros tour, it was disappointing to be able to walk down into the church but not be allowed to see the inside of the church.
