About this experience
Skip the line and dive into Florence’s Duomo Complex—the heart of the Renaissance.
This small-group guided tour isn’t sightseeing. It’s fire.
The Baptistery blinds with Medici gold. The Museum unleashes Michelangelo’s fury. The Cathedral façade roars with Dante’s Florence. Every stop hits like a scene you thought you knew but never lived.
Then the choice:
⚡ Express — the teaser. Fast, sharp, shocking. Baptistery + Museum + façade. No filler. Adrenaline only.
⭐ Giotto Tower — the thriller. After the tour, the climb begins. Steps pound like war drums. Legs burn, lungs scream, Florence detonates beneath you.
‼️ Brunelleschi’s Dome — the finale. The forbidden climb. Reserved slot. 463 steps of sweat and obsession. And then—your moment at the top. Florence explodes 360° around you. More epic than any movie, more brutal than any test.
This isn’t sightseeing. This is survival. This is glory.
⚠️ Dome spots are brutally scarce. Once they’re gone—they’re gone.
