Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore Tours

Best Santa Maria Del Fiore Tours & Trips

This Gothic cathedral is crowned with Brunelleschi's iconic and innovative dome, the world's largest brick dome ever constructed, which can be seen from almost anywhere in Florence. Santa Maria del Fiore is a cathedral complex that also includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile, all three of which are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering Florence's historic center. For the best views of Florence and the surrounding Tuscan countryside, climb the 463 steps to the dome; the work is well worth the reward.

7-Day Summer Italy, Switzerland, and France Loop Tour: Paris, Lucerne, Milan, Venice, Rome, Florence, Nice

My friend and I had an incredible time on this tour. Lucerne was a beautiful introduction to Switzerland, and I loved seeing Chapel Bridge and Lake Lucerne. Milan's Duomo was impressive, Venice was unforgettable, and ending the trip in Paris made it even more special.

9-Day Europe Highlights Tour from Paris: Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Versailles, Lucerne, Milan, Rome, Cannes

The trip was absolutely amazing overall. I joined as a solo traveler and felt very safe the whole time. The highlight for me was definitely the Eiffel Tower at night and the short stop in Lucerne was like a dream. The itinerary is quite packed but well organized. Hotels were clean and comfortable. Only small issue was some long driving hours between cities, but that’s expected for a multi-country tour.

Impressed by Professionalism

We were fortunate to have Mr. Henry Chen as our guide. Despite his young age, Mr. Chen was exceptionally attentive, considering various issues comprehensively and enthusiastically helping everyone solve various problems encountered during the journey. With his extensive professional knowledge, he humorously introduced the local customs, history, and culture at each stop. In just seven days, Mr. Chen's professionalism, service attitude, level of service, and dedication left a lasting impression on us. We look forward to the next trip and the chance to meet Mr. Chen again.
