This was an amazing tour! Highly recommended but it is strenuous. If you can physically handle the climb it is amazing! Once in a lifetime experience!

I had a great experience on this after hours duomo tour including getting to see the sunset on a private terrace. We had a small group of only ~10 people. There is a lot of tight turns and corners. Would not recommend for someone who gets claustrophobic easily or has a fear of heights. All in all had an amazing trip. Regina was amazing!

This was the first excursion in Florence for us and it was truly memorable. I was slightly nervous about the number of steps, but it is manageable, plenty of pausing stops along the way. And it's well worth the climb to get to the terrace.

Know Before You Book

Is this tour accessible for wheelchair users or guests with mobility issues?

Due to conditions inside the Duomo (463 steps and fairly narrow passageways), wheelchair users, those with limited mobility, and anyone with claustrophobia unfortunately cannot be accommodated on this tour.

Are children able to take this tour?

Due to security reasons, children under 7 years of age aren't allowed to climb to the Terraces and are therefore unable to participate in this tour. Minors between the ages of 7-17 must be accompanied by an adult to climb the Terraces.

What can I bring inside the Florence Cathedral?

Visitors to the Cathedral must use mandatory luggage storage (Piazza Duomo n. 38/r) to leave the following items before entry: suitcases, backpacks, and large or medium-sized bags.
