The photo gives the exact guided tours that we booked. It is a 3 hr guided tour in a small group, less than 5 people. Our guide was outstanding. She started the visit at the Duomo"s museum and gave us a very interesting, detailed description of all the original sculptures and other items from the Duomo kept there to protect them from pollution (the ones in the duomo now are reproductions). We then went inside the baptistry, the duomo itself, including the crypt. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our question. One person in our group fell while visiting the crypt. Our guide went out her way to make sure that the person received the best of care in a nearby pharmacy

Very knowledgeable tour guide. She spoke English very well and was helpful with other suggestions of sites to see while in Florence, as well as other sites that might not be as exciting for our family. Thoroughly enjoyed her tour!
