In case you're wondering, here is a clip of the facade of the Florence Cathedral (Duomo) that we saw during "The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance and Medici Tales." We took the tour on one of the first days we were in Florence and it was a great way to get a quick walking tour of the city and the major sites so we could plan which ones to go explore in more detail. The guide was fantastic and he told lots of stories to keep the tour interesting. It included audio headphones so everyone could hear, even though it was a large group.
