Great Guided Tour
Sylvia was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the history of Florence. We wouldn’t have got the same information from wandering around on our own.

Disappointing
Would not recommend. We were told the Duomo was too crowded and we could use our ticket at another time for three days. We already had a schedule set so we didn’t get see it. However, the tour guide was pleasant and knowledgeable.

The tour and guide were...
The tour and guide were excellent. It was perfectly paced and the right amount of time. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and joy was a perfect way to learn about this beautiful city and the Duomo. We highly recommend.

Poor Customer Service
We recently booked several tours in Rome/Florence/Venice. I would not recommend this Tour or its operator, Walks of Europe. Their customer service is non-existent. If you attempt to call, the number provided (a NY#), goes directly to voicemail and no one will call you back. We contacted Viator, they confirmed they were also unable to reach them. Very disappointing and frustrating when you need assistance.
Response from the operator: Hi Tucker, I’ve reviewed your case, and I can see that our customer service team made multiple attempts to assist you, including 6 emails, 2 WhatsApp messages, and 2 SMS messages. These were sent in response to your request to change the tour date and time. On the day of the tour, you arrived approximately 20 minutes after the scheduled meeting time. As the group had already departed, your booking was marked as a no-show, in line with our operating policy for timed tours. Given our team's efforts to support you, we would appreciate it if you could clarify which aspect of your experience you felt reflected poor customer service.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Florence: Duomo Complex with Tickets & City Walk Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence: Duomo Complex with Tickets & City Walk Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Florence: Duomo Complex with Tickets & City Walk Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Florence: Duomo Complex with Tickets & City Walk Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 187 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Florence: Duomo Complex with Tickets & City Walk Guided Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Florence: Duomo Complex with Tickets & City Walk Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence: Duomo Complex with Tickets & City Walk Guided Tour?
+
Around 65 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence: Duomo Complex with Tickets & City Walk Guided Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
