Traveler reviews
Duono
The inside was not as expected considering the wait some people had. The outside is more amazing and the guide was not as good as expected.
It’s a short experience...
It’s a short experience and a little chaotic at meeting point I would just get entry ticket that’s skips queue and not bother with guide
Worth booking
Clear instructions to find the meeting place and when you see the massive queues you’ll be glad you did! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, unfortunately it wasn’t always easy to understand her accent. Check to see what you are actually paying for. We booked knowing we weren’t walking up to the top of the Duomo but we couldn’t get into the crypt either.
Excellent Value
Our guide Sylvia explained the history and symbolism of the art in the Accademia and the Uffizi giving us a tour rich in context. It was also a pleasure to skip the long lines. We even stopped for coffee and pastry during our walk between the two museums.
It was a nice experience...
It was a nice experience to hear some of the history of the cathedral. The guide started late due to 2 people not showing up on time. Would have been nice for the other 12+ waiting to just get going.
