Discover with a local guide the wonders and secrets of Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral and the suggestive Crypt of Santa Reparata. Walk on the Duomo Terrace and finish with a hug to the whole city with a breathtaking view from the famous Dome.
This exclusive tour begins with a guided visit of the interiors of the magnificent Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral. You will be immediately struck by its elegance. Visit Christian crypt of Santa Reparata on which the present Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore was erected in the 13th century.
After this first visit, lead by your expert Guide, you will enjoy the beauty of the splendid marble choir of Bandinelli, the complex of the precious stained-glass windows worked by Donatello, Ghiberti and Andrea del Castagno and the singular and mysterious clock by Paolo Uccello. You will be also surprised to be able to walk on a marvelous carpet of polychrome marbles. Then, looking up, the immense precious interior of the Dome entirely frescoed by Vasari will appear, the biggest fresco in the world. The Brunelleschi's famous Dome is the largest ever built in masonry and the incomparable icon of Renaissance architecture.
Then, you will have the chance to get to one of the exclusive terraces of the Cathedral, where to enjoy your first-row position on the magnificent scenery surrounding you, dominated by the amazing Brunelleschi’s Dome. At the end of the guided tour, you can continue your visit on your own, directly from the north terrace, without any additional queue, using your ticket to climb even higher, up to the magnificent Dome, where you can enjoy a spectacular 360° view of Florence, from its highest location.
