Recommend! - Tour guide was great! Knowledgeable and witty. You get access to different areas of the rooftops and then plenty of time in the cathedral. Lots of walking but that’s expected. There is an elevator down from the rooftop to the cathedral for those that can’t handle the steps.

Tour of Duomo Milano - The tour of the Duomo and its rooftop terraces was outstanding. The Duomo is breathtaking, and we learned so much from the narrative provided by our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much about the history of the Duomo and its art, sculptures and other artifacts. Truly a treasure that should be experienced at least once by anyone visiting Milano. I also want to pay a special compliment to our guide for the 16:30 tour on May, 16, 24. As we began the tour outside the Duomo, a torrential downpour began which eventually flooded the rooftop terraces. While the rain hindered photography and ability to enjoy the view and overall rooftop experience, our guide handled a very difficult situation admirably, with great care for our comfort and safety. Again, the tour was fabulous, due to the magnificence of the Duomo and outstanding work of our guide.

Disappointed - The Duomo is beautiful. The tour guide mumbles and hard to understand. Spent most of the time on rooftop so had little time inside. Half of the tour group left halfway through and several people turned off the sound. Very disappointed.
