About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Escape030607840300 contributionsGood tour company and guide.Very informative tour with knowledgeable guide, Chiara. 2:30 tour allowed us to be in Duomo with no crowds. Best time. Walks in Europe prompt and would highly recommend.Written 13 February 2025
- Chiara C0 contributionsUnexpected emotion! 🤩My family loved the tour around the cathedral and especially the terraces! Our small group was the only one with a special access, we felt privileged to be there with a guide who explained every detail. The view was terrific from every side of the cathedral’s roof and we enjoyed every minute! We highly recommend walks in Europe and this tour! 5 stars aren’t enough.Written 18 January 2025
- KafkaShore0 contributionsWonderful Duomo tour with our guide ChiaraWe found this amazing tour provided by Walks in Europe via GetYourGuide app -- an amazing and exceptionally helpful app and website -- and we were pleasantly surprised to discover that our group of 3 were the only ones booked. We had our guide Chiara all to ourselves and due to our accidental good fortune to book at tour for 14:00 we wound up having the Duomo almost all to ourselves. Chiara is smart, business-like, professional, and full of incredibly helpful information that made our visit so much more valuable than had we gone alone or relied on the pre-recorded audio guides. Chiara started us in the Museum which wound up being helpful for context and background -- so when we made our way to the Basilica and then the Duomo itself it was more meaningful. Our tour was timed such (again, this was an accident on our part but a terrific one) that when we wrapped up in Duomo, there were perhaps only 5-6 tourists left plus a few security staff. We climbed the bell tower afterward and yes it's a bunch of stairs but it's worth it so long as it's not raining or fogged in. We made an important discovery. If you happen to be at the resting point (there are 3-4 along the way, basically a way-station platform to break up the climb) that is directly below the bell, this is a functioning bell tower! To hear the bell from a distance of only a few meters and within the confines of a stone tower is incredibly loud. Made for one interesting iPhone video and my ears were ringing for a while. Anyway, thank you Chiara, we appreciated our time with you and thank you for making our final tour in Italy such a pleasure. Oh, one more thought, we also by accident arrived at the top of the bell tower just at sunset. If you can manage the timing, you'll be glad you did. The way the sun illuminated the city for those twenty glorious minutes was amazing.Written 12 January 2025
- Stay179927866070 contributionsGreat tour, informative and spectacularChiara was a brilliant guide. Super informative and went through all the details of the statue of David and the other Michelangelo works in the Academia. The dome tour was great, the rain held off and the stairs up and down were not too bad. The inner dome from the balcony half way up is incredible. The ticket is good for three days so seeing the Baptismal and Cathedral as well on the same ticket.Written 3 January 2025
- 991teril0 contributionsGreat informationOur tour guide explained the history Florence, the Medici and important builders of the Duomo, the Dome, Bell Tower and Baptistry. It was an enjoyable tour.Written 20 December 2024
- Florida19970 contributionsIn depth experienceWe had a wonderful experience on this very full morning of seeing as much as we could. Chiara was extremely knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the art and history of this regionWritten 12 December 2024
- Kim M0 contributionsGuide was a bore. Could have climbed the Duomo without.The climb of the Duomo was a great experience but we could have easily done it on our own- as it was the guide just dropped us at the door. We have done many tours and part of the success of the guide is to weave a bit of a story into what your looking at. This guide practically put me to sleep. The sites themselves are breathtakingly beautiful but the tour guide just told a lot of Radom facts but none of it really came together to make it interesting.Written 18 November 2024
- Y5677WYjonathang0 contributionsWonderful tourOur guide was extremely knowledgeable. She made the most of our time. We toured the museum, then the Dome, the Baptistery and the Bell Tower. The stairs to the Dome and the Bell Tower are a lot, but we thought it was worth it.Written 17 November 2024

- Laura M0 contributionsExcellent Small Group Experience in SiennaThis was an excellent small group experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. She was also very considerate. There was a couple, and the gentleman walked with a cane. She paced the tour and kept them included. The walk through Sienna was very interesting. The cathedral was beautiful. It was worth the extra time to see the museum and crypt.Written 15 October 2024

- Violets280 contributionsGreat tour with a great guideWonderful tour with a fantastic guide. It felt like she knew each inch of the Cathedral and Baptistry. She was so knowledgeable and took pains to point out the intricacies that a solo visitor might not notice by themselves. Cannot recommend it enough.Written 13 October 2024

Ci ha accolti Chiara Certini, la nostra guida, che con passione e preparazione ci ha raccontato la storia dei preziosi monumenti e reperti conservati al Museo del Duomo, e le magnificenze della cupola e del Battistero.
La visita guidata imprescindibile è assolutamente consigliata.

Die Leiterin der Exkursion,Silke, erwies sich als absoluter Glücksgriff. Außergewöhnlich kompetente und lebendige Führung. Hervorzuheben ist die gelungene Einbettung der künstlerischen Interpretation in die sozialen,wirtschaftlichen und ökonomischen Zusammenhänge der jeweiligen Zeit. Sehr zu empfehlen für Personen,die nicht nur einen schnellen, oberflächlichen Eindruck gewinnen wollen.
