Highlight of our stop in Milan - Our tour guide was excellent. In a relatively brief visit, we learned so much about the history of the Duomo, Milan, Italy, etc. He was very interactive with our group and provided helpful advice - finding shade for us on the roof during a hot summer day. Our visit was well worth the investment.

Very funny and charismatic host :) highly recommend! - Our tour guide was very quirky and funny, I think a lot of his jokes were lost on other guests, but not for us! Sadly we had to cut our tour short as our baby was struggling in the heat. I’m sad because our guide was amazing. Thanks guys

Excellent tour - Our guide Simon was knowledgeable and entertaining throughout and made the visit very enjoyable - even for our teenagers!
NB. We bought trousers specially, after receiving the email warning that shorts weren't allowed - only to discover that males in shorts were acceptable in the cathedral.

Absolutely would recommend! - Incredible, both the Duomo and the tour! A tour is only as good as the guide and this was the best I’ve had in recent memory. Could tell there was a great appreciation for the cathedral and a very nice person to talk us through the duomo in great detail and easy to follow without a great background in history or styles on show. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend - Carmen was excellent. Studied, humble, and reverent, her voice transmitted beautifully through the listening devices we were given. Every step of the way was enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Amazing! Very worthwhile guided tour. - Awe- inspiring Cathedral di Milano! Our guide was very informative about the Cathedral’s features as well as its extensive history. He was skilled at organizing a group whilst also being sensitive to the individual needs of the group members.

Good tour - The view from the top was incredible. We appreciate the front of the line. We liked being able to go back into the duomo after going to the top.
