Great tour guide! We learned a lot. Climbing the dome was a nice workout and view was worth it. Museum with a guide is highly recommended.

Die Leiterin der Exkursion,Silke, erwies sich als absoluter Glücksgriff. Außergewöhnlich kompetente und lebendige Führung. Hervorzuheben ist die gelungene Einbettung der künstlerischen Interpretation in die sozialen,wirtschaftlichen und ökonomischen Zusammenhänge der jeweiligen Zeit. Sehr zu empfehlen für Personen,die nicht nur einen schnellen, oberflächlichen Eindruck gewinnen wollen.

Ci ha accolti Chiara Certini, la nostra guida, che con passione e preparazione ci ha raccontato la storia dei preziosi monumenti e reperti conservati al Museo del Duomo, e le magnificenze della cupola e del Battistero. La visita guidata imprescindibile è assolutamente consigliata.
