Highly recommend this tour and Filomena as a guide.read less

The only thing that you should reconsider is the meeting point and the information given to us.
To be more specific you should inform people that the guide is there half an hour before the start of the tour.We were looking for a kiosk or something like that near porta della Mandorla that did't exist.read less

Since our tickets had a specific entry time, we got to bypass the MASSIVE line and get right in. The only negatives of the whole experience came from interactions with the other tourists so I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the dome!read less

Once we got in line for the tour groups, the line moved definitely faster than the general admission line. The long climb to the top of the dome required a lot of energy, but not too demanding. The view at the top was excellent. Worth the climb!read less

A lot of effort climbing the stairs but well rewarded with the view from the top. Our guide (I'm sorry I forgot her name) was excellant. She provided a comprehensive description of the Doumo, its construction, the meaning of the frescoes under the dome, as well as construction of both the inner and outer dome. And she maintained a pace up the stairs that insured even the oldest of us made it and we were always safe.
