Florence Cathedral tickets with a guide: two tours compared
Florence Cathedral tickets on this site come inside two guided tours. At $111, a tour of 2 to 3 hours covers the Baptistery, the Museum and the Cathedral exterior, then the 463-step climb of Brunelleschi’s Dome, with a 3-day access pass to the Crypt, the Interior and the Bell Tower; 460 reviews at 4.8. At $99, a tour of 2 to 2.5 hours pairs pre-reserved tickets to see Michelangelo’s David with the Duomo complex; 595 reviews at 4.7. For anyone who wants the cathedral explained, not only entered.
Quick answer
The short answer. To climb the Dome, the $111 tour: 463 steps and a pass that lasts three days. To see the David and the Duomo complex in one booking, $99. Those are the two Florence Cathedral tickets with a guide on this site.

What each covers
What the two Florence Cathedral tickets cover
The $111 tour is built around the Dome. A local expert guide takes you round the Baptistery, the Museum and the outside of the Cathedral, and then you climb 463 steps to the panoramic views. The listing adds a 3-day access pass to the Crypt, the Interior and the Bell Tower, so part of the visit can wait for another day.
The $99 tour is built around two places: pre-reserved tickets to see Michelangelo’s David, then the Duomo complex. Its description does not mention the Dome climb; the climb it offers is Giotto’s Bell Tower, as an upgrade. If you searched for Duomo cathedral Florence tickets without a guide, neither listing is that: both are guided tours.
If you only want to see the Duomo from the square, the $31 small-group walk names the Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio in 1.5 hours, with 6,080 reviews at 4.6, and more walks are compared on the walking tours page.
