Traveler reviews
Great tour amazing guide!
Marcella was an amazing guide! She took us on a wonderful tour inside and outside the duomo. She pointed out the most important sites, but also had insight into many other often missed aspects of the duomo. She was friendly knowledgeable and answered every question we had. She made sure on a very hot day to keep our group in the shade and even gave us the opportunity before the tour to use the bathroom or grab a bottle of water. I highly recommend this tour. It was worth the time and money, especially skipping the line. And if you can book the tour with marchella you will not be disappointed!

Experience was great from start to finish. Very clear directions to meet with the guide. Start at the roof top for amazing views and history of the duomo. You then move into the church. Our guide (Loridonna) was amazing. She was nice, informative, and her English was very easy to understand. Would definitely recommend this tour.
