It was a ticket that could enter most facilities including the Duomo. It was valid for 3 days, so if you have time, I think you can enjoy it enough! I don't recommend climbing the Duomo and Giotto at once...lol The stairs are narrow and steep, so it's quite difficult.

It was fantastic, being able to see the cupola close up incredible, so many details that you don’t see from below, we were really happy to have done it … even though the climb is quite challenging. Our guide Francesca was lovely and professional, we learnt a lot!

Such a great way to see the city and learn about its history + that of the Medici family. Our guide was wonderful, and it was very nice being in such a small group

So worth the extra money to avoid those lines!! Meeting point was also really easy to find.

Very knowledgeable guide, Alessandra. Spent a lot of time with us. Great personality
