Overview

With our exclusive VIP access to the Terraces of the Duomo, this is a truly unique experience. With a top-rated guide, you’ll enjoy extraordinary aerial views of the Duomo and rooftop views over Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. Head straight up to the Duomo Terraces, where you'll enjoy a private tour of the two north and south-facing balconies, 100 feet high and 230 feet long. No other people will be present for the duration of your terrace visit, making this a truly exclusive experience. You will look out over the red-tiled rooftops of Florence, enjoy an up-close view of the majestic dome and Giotto’s Bell Tower, and look down on the piazza and the Baptistry. Then, you will tour the gothic interior of the Duomo, the religious, political, cultural, and architectural heart of Florence and learn about the city’s fascinating past.
