Experience Florence's Duomo in a whole new light with this VIP Awakening Tour. Be among the first to step into the Cathedral and Baptistery as they come to life at daybreak and witness the awe-inspiring moment when lights illuminate the fresco painted by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari, including the vivid 'Last Judgement.'

Meet the 'chiavigero,' the key bearer, who unlocks the treasures inside the Duomo. Discover the fascinating workings of the Florence Duomo clock and explore the Cathedral's historical and spiritual aura with the help of your knowledgeable guide.
After this exclusive tour, treat yourself to a delightful breakfast at a nearby historical café. Join the locals for an authentic Italian-style breakfast and savor a real Italian coffee. But the adventure doesn't end there. Gain exclusive access to the Duomo rooftop through a special side entrance.
