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

Our tour guide made the experience wonderful. Our only disappointment was that the Duomo terrace access was not part of the tour. This was only shared with our group as we walked by the Duomo when it was made clear that public access is not allowed on Sunday’s. Be aware that if you book this tour on a Sunday it will not include interior and terrace access to the Duomo.

Highly recommended! We did this walking tour in Florence with Patricia that covered the major highlights — the Statue of David, the Duomo, the Baptistery of Santa Maria del Fiore, San Lorenzo, Palazzo Vecchio, and the story of the Medici family and their impact on art and the city. What set this tour apart wasn’t just the sites, but the way our guide, Patrizia, brought them to life. Patrizia is a true Florentine, born and raised here, and it shows. She’s clearly an expert in both art and history, but what made the tour special were the local stories she shared — the kind you won’t hear from most guides. She talked about the reality of everyday life in Florence, from how ordinary people were affected by the decisions of the powerful families and figures who shaped the city for centuries to the horrors of the mafia during a very dark period. These details gave the tour a depth and honesty that went far beyond the usual tourist narrative. Thorough, knowledgeable, and engaging!

Une visite fantastique avec beaucoup d'informations fournies par un guide touristique très intelligent. Je recommande vivement la visite

Eri was an amazing tour guide. Helpful, knowledgeable, under control. Managed the tour group so she could answer every question and we never seemed rushed. Helped us get a couple of cover ups needed for the churches with no stress. Amazing education. Well worth it.
