VIP David & Duomo Tour: Early Accademia Tour & Skip the Line Dome Climb with Exclusive Terrace Access

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.

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.

Only the morning tour will briefly enter the Florence cathedral. The afternoon tour will enjoy a view of the cathedral's interior from above during the Duomo climb. The visit to the Accademia Gallery remains unchanged.

Due to the religious nature of the Cathedral, all individuals regardless of gender must cover their shoulders and knees. You can bring extra coverings (scarves, etc) to put on just before entering the Cathedral. It is also prohibited to enter the Cathedral and climb to the Terraces and Cupola wearing flip-flops, slippers, clogs and shoes with heels.

No bags of any size, large or small, are allowed on this tour. Free lockers are available before entering the Duomo, your guide will accompany you to them. For large items such as suitcases, backpacks, and large or medium-sized bags visitors to the Cathedral must use mandatory luggage storage (Piazza Duomo n. 38/r)

The Florence Cathedral may occasionally close due to special celebrations or festivities, including Easter ceremonies. We will know in advance and will try to reschedule the tour, contacting you directly.
