Visit the Rooftop of Duomo - Great view. Super good guide - very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a super experience which I would definitely recommend to others. You can also take a look at the impressive church on your way out

Mellow quick tour and jumped the line! - I had a lot of question before the tour met about what my tour included and the Viator people were fast and helpful online. The tour was just right, we didn't want too much - we really just wanted to jump the line (100 degrees outside!) and get a bit of an overview of the skyline and the history, and this was just that.

Great Sensitive & Focused Tour Guide - Carmin was a great tour guide who was very attentive, sensitive to all his members’ safety who joined him as the top of the Duomo Milano roof was all in descending position.

Quick Tour - You get what you pay for. This does not include entrance to the cathedral. This tour is ONLY for Duomo and the roof top. I suggest going early in the morning instead of the afternoon.

Fabulous views - Great tour, tour operator was very informative, views were breathtaking. Only thing l would say is that you need to keep an eye on your emails as the time of the tour was changed and it was earlier than anticipared.

Great tour and guide! - It helped to have a beautiful day to visit the rooftop. Our guide, Simone, was timely, informative and enthusiastic about the sites he was showing us. He is a wonderful guide!

Specular view but mediocre tour. - The rooftop itself is spectacular and worth visting. The earpieces kept cutting in and out, and the guide mumbled his way through the tour.

Unorganised and uniformed - The time was changed three times, we arrived at the earliest option which was 9.45 for 10am tour. A member of staff arrived , gave us our tickets and left with no explanation. The time in the ticket was 10.30. We waited at the meeting point until just after 10.30, and nobody turned up, we assumed we may have got it wrong so went to the entrance. We went into the Duomo and wondered around, at 11.18 the company rang to ask where we were and said our guide was waiting somewhere in the Duomo for us, we never found her! The bus s tickets were very unclear, the company didn’t recognise the bar code, it took about 20 mins to sort out, overall a very badly informed and run trip
