What To Expect

Stand in awe of Florence's most impressive monument as you explore it from top to bottom without the usual crowds. This exclusive after-hours tour takes you from the top of the dome, out onto the cathedral terraces with private access, and finally down into the heart of the sanctuary after all public guests have cleared out for the day. With just your group, expert guide, and the cathedral Key Master himself inside the church after closing time, you'll experience the Duomo in a way that few others can claim and return home with once-in-a-lifetime memories.
