Traveler reviews
Book tour on own! This tour not worth it
We were slower getting up to the top than our group and when we got up there, our group was told to go down, and we had only a couple of minutes up top, whereas our tour guide said we had a lot of time up there or to take our time up there. So it was really disappointing
Our guide was great! Fun...
Our guide was great! Fun and informational. The walk up was so worth it. Amazing view, but be prepared to wait in a few lines to get to the top.
Avoid Caio Florence tour operator
Not a ton of information but nice to skip the line. Tour operator was not organized so would recommend against booking with them.
Terraces tour and tour guide, Giacomo a must
The small group tour was excellent and well worth the money. The terraces were such a unique experience. We were very pleased with our decision to include them in our tour option. Giacomo was an incredible tour guide! So enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We could feel his passion and pride throughout the tour. He was accommodating, personable and intelligent. This tour was the highlight of our time spent in Florence! Thanks Giacomo!
Such a great way to spend...
Such a great way to spend an afternoon with friends! The tour was amazing, and the view from the terraces was a unique perspective. The Dome climb is a bunch of stairs, yes, but it's not that hard and totally doable. The view from the top is worth it!
