Tour overview

We will start inside the courtyard of the Cathedral center where we will purchase the tickets for the religious complex.

From there we will walk around the Baptistery and look at the three bronze doors before we enter it. In the golden glaze of the mosaics, we will look for shells, waves, deers, birds, fountains, the figures of the zodiac…and a radiant sun!

Afterward, we will enter the Duomo seeking for more symbols and eventually even find a peacock!

At the exit, we will overlook the Bell Tower with the many panels featuring human work and divine protection.

The tour lasts 2 1/2 hrs and is tailored according to the attention span small children can afford

You will have to pay the price of museum tickets. Your guide will assist you and you will pay at the museum ticket office directly, by cash or credit card. After booking, you can directly contact your guide for more information.

Having a camera with you is your choice. Someone prefers to immerse in beauty not being distracted by taking pictures/making videos, someone else prefers to build printable memories of his trip. It’s really up to you. Inside the Duomo complex, pictures and videos are allowed, but the use of a flash or selfie-sticks is prohibited.

Entrance to the Duomo and any other religious place is subject to restrictions: your clothing must be appropriate and cover your shoulders and knees.
