Itinerary

A unique tour you will not find anywhere else! Be the first to access the Cathedral of Florence with a small group tour of the Duomo with Florence dome climb tickets included. You'll beat the crowds to see some of Italy's most incredible Renaissance monuments while most are still sleeping, as well as enjoying a tasty breakfast.
If you want a Florence Duomo Tour without the crowds then this small group tour is for you. You'll be first through the door in the morning with your guide and the chiavigero (key holder) who will switch on the lights for you to marvel at the wonderful frescoes inside, before you see Florence wake up from the roof - all after breakfast of course!
THE FLORENCE DUOMO - ALL TO YOURSELF – WITH DOME CLIMB TICKETS
Imagine walking into Florence's iconic cathedral at the start of the day and watching the lights slowly illuminate the amazing frescoed vault. Well, there's no need to imagine with this Florence Duomo tour, where you'll meet the chiavigero at daybreak who will throw open the building's 500+ years old doors to your small group.
LEARN ABOUT THE DUOMO AND ITS CLOCK - ALL BEFORE BREAKFAST!
Your guide will take you to admire the magnificent attractions of Duomo interior, such as the dazzling clock, designed by Paolo Uccello of which you will discover the peculiar functioning. Once you've seen everything there is to in the church, you'll head to a historical cafe the join the locals and enjoy an Italian breakfast with brioche and coffee the way you like it. Enjoy the calm of the morning in Florence, the first rays of sunshine enlightening the Piazza before the hustle and bustle of people and tourists begins!
BE THE FIRST TO CLIMB UP THE BRUNELLESCHI DOME 
Who designed the dome of Florence Cathedral? If you didn't know already, it's Brunelleschi - and his cupola is the last stop on the itinerary for this tour. Scaling the dome means you'll get to watch Florence wake up from above, an experience you'll surely never forget. That leaves just one question: How many steps in the Dome of Florence? There are 463 (terraces and the Dome) - wear your Fitbit to count them all!
