Very bad choice. They gave us tickets from another day, we couldn’t enter to the museum or the baptistery. Additionally The tickets were for another amount, so wasn’t what we paid for. There was no answer from the guide, he told us is a problem of the agency. Nobody can give us a solution and th...
Very bad choice. They gave us tickets from another day, we couldn’t enter to the museum or the baptistery. Additionally The tickets were for another amount, so wasn’t what we paid for. There was no answer from the guide, he told us is a problem of the agency. Nobody can give us a solution and the agency told us “will see what can do, in 72 hours you will receive a email”. Almost two hours lost and a very bad time in what we hope be a nice tour.This was our worst experience on our trip. The guide was late, he did not have enough headsets for everyone, the headsets were staticky the whole time. He did not know how to do a guide and tell us things that were important. He rambled on and on about inconsequential things and then recited thin...
This was our worst experience on our trip. The guide was late, he did not have enough headsets for everyone, the headsets were staticky the whole time. He did not know how to do a guide and tell us things that were important. He rambled on and on about inconsequential things and then recited things that we could read ourselves on the plaques on the walls. I would not recommend this tour company. Everyone was so frustrated!The visit with Natalia as our guide was extremely interesting. We first went into the Baptistry which was an absolute wonder, despite the fact that the magnificent mosaics on the ceiling are being restored so cannot be seen at the moment.

The visit with Natalia as our guide was extremely interesting. We first went into the Baptistry which was an absolute wonder, despite the fact that the magnificent mosaics on the ceiling are being restored so cannot be seen at the moment. The rest of the building and Natalia's stories made up for it. Then she took us to the Museum at the other end of the cathedral square. We loved the museum's brightness and the fact that all the exhibits are so well displayed and explained. They even have a few pieces duplicated so that they can be touched. Our 9-year old loved that. We especially liked the original doors from the Baptistry and the whole section devoted to the building of the Dome. We subsequently visited the Cathedral and it was impressive but the museum gave us much more of a context. So if you're in Florence, go visit the Opera Museum. It is not very well advertised, so it's easy to miss, but It provides so much more information than standing outside for hours to get into the bare Cathedral ever could.I learned more about the history of the Duomo on this tour than I thought possible.

I learned more about the history of the Duomo on this tour than I thought possible. Our guide was an expert on the subject but made all her historical information interesting and left us eager to hear more. Perfect tour for families with older teens or anyone interested in the history of Florence and its’ Cathedral. My interest was captured while still in line outside the cathedral and only increased as we toured the inside and moved on to the museum. This tour is definitely one of my favorites.Mais quelle belle ville, quelles richesses artistiques et historiques. A voir absolument avec un détour par Pise dont la cathédrale est exceptionnelle.
