Dishonest and Unethical
Unethical business, stay away! We booked a combo tour to see both the David and Duomo in Florence. Their tour guide for the first tour was significantly late. I did not think much of it as I assumed the same guide would be doing both tours. Well, we got done with the first and they said goodbye! Of course at that point there was likely no way we were going to make it to the next meeting point on time. But we used the restroom quickly and headed that way immediately as they said they may wait for us. We got there and no one was there. Not the end of the world, I get that things happen and I assumed they would make it right. So I contacted them and said to please issue a refund as your guide being late made us miss our second tour. To my surprise they told me that it was my fault that I missed the tour!! They said they tried to reach out to me and I did not respond. I looked and they sent me a text which I did not see as I was trying to hurry to get to the next meeting point. At the end of the day, it was their fault I missed the tour since their guide was late. It is not about the money, I could care less about it. Take responsibility and do the right thing in the future. But I will never find out as I will never use the tour guy again.

Florence, David and Duomo
It was a wonderful experience. Our guide was quite knowledgeable and well informed. Crowds with a little heavy, but it was still an enjoyable experience and very happy. We got to see some history.

Our tour guide was great. Would recommend
Response from the operator: Hi Matt, thank you! We are so glad you had a great experience seeing David and the Duomo. Skipping the long lines to explore Florence’s iconic art highlights with a local expert is hard to beat. Hope to see you again soon!

The meet up spot in the...
The meet up spot in the beginning was very clear and easy to navigate. There was nothing in the booking or any communication about a second meeting spot or time for the second half of the duomo tour which made us almost miss and have to run to and rush. The guide for the duomo was completely rushing every part and couldn’t understand anything she was saying. The first part of the tour was lovely and very informative and easy to follow along. Having the second be a separate part and with a second guide ruined the experience.
Response from the operator: Hi Lauren, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are glad to hear that finding our initial meetup spot was a breeze and easy to navigate. However, we are sorry to hear that the transition to the second part of your Florence tour felt rushed and stressful. While these comprehensive highlight experiences often require a brief transition between sites to sync with strict museum entry times, our coordination on the ground should always be seamless. We have shared your note directly with our Florence Operations Manager to ensure our team provides crystal clear instructions for the second half of the day. Please reach out to us at support@thetourguy.com so we can look into your booking details and get this resolved. We appreciate your patience and look forward to delivering a smoother experience next time.

Florence Highlights Tour with Michelangelo's David & Duomo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Florence Highlights Tour with Michelangelo's David & Duomo cost?
+
Prices start at $80 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 Highlights Tour with Michelangelo's David & Duomo take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Highlights Tour with Michelangelo's David & Duomo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Florence Highlights Tour with Michelangelo's David & Duomo?
+
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 Highlights Tour with Michelangelo's David & Duomo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Florence Highlights Tour with Michelangelo's David & Duomo?
+
Around 2 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Florence Highlights Tour with Michelangelo's David & Duomo 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 -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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.
