Please can you advise whether there is enough time on the Florence excursion to climb the Duomo. I suspect there won't be but it would be nice to know in advance.

Kind regards

I have been informed by a colleague that there is time to climb the Duoma and that it is "well worth it".

I would however recommend that you have a quick chat with your Tour Manager on the day to check itinerary timings.

Kindest regards,

Hello Julia,

Hi, Sharon

I did this tour in September of last year. We got off the coach about 30 minutes walk from the City Centre - all coaches drop off at the same point.

We then met up with local guide and walked towards the centre.

We then had free time for lunch, and more sightseeing or shopping. I think that it was about 2/3 hours of free time.

The one thing to mention it is very very crowded. I have never seen so many tour coaches dropping off groups.

Thank you for your insight into the Florence excursion; it's good to have some idea of timescales. I appreciate that you can only really scratch the surface in a day trip; it's a shame Florence is not available as an add-on.

Your comment about coaches reminded me of what it is like at the Chelsea Flower Show, I'll prepare myself for similar!

Many thanks

Sharon

It's an amazing city and the guided walk was really good and we got to see quite a lot. Enjoy your visit.

Many thanks

Sharon
