Here, take pleasure in panoramic views of Milan and marvel at the close-up details of the cathedral’s statues, spires, and buttresses. Allow your guide to enlighten you about this Gothic marvel’s historical and cultural importance as you progress.

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.

Beautiful views of Milan - A great tour, fantastic views of the city! We had an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She was really entertaining and did an excellent job looking after the group and ensuring that we got to see everything in spite of the crowds that day.
The crowds that day were the only downside to the experience. It might be better if the Duomo organization did a bit more to control the number of people who can access the roof during particularly busy periods.

Closer to Heaven on the Duomo - Ciara, our guide, was insightful and funny! She made us all feel her passion. The Duomo is breathtakingly beautiful; a definite must-see.

Go by yourself, no guide needed. - Very little information provided, it felt like a poorly put together school report than anything else. I learned more form playing a city game on the Questo app.

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

My grandparents struggled immensely - Me, my parents, my grandparents and my sister went to the rooftop after an eternity waiting for the staff to fix our tickets as their machines were broken. After traversing what seemed like millions of stairs with my poor grandparents who struggled getting up. We were hoping for something insightful to compensate the hard climb he did but little did we know there was only a view and we face hundreds of stairs to escape so we surrendered and we took a elevator for the elderly down. Once we thought we had escaped, there was more… There was a church which was so boring that within seconds, we were asking where the exit was. It was a complete waste of time as a tourist and it wasn’t worth unless you’re looking for a workout.

Couldn’t hear anything.... - Couldn’t hear anything. Very disorganized and would just go back on my own without the tour. This feels like a scam it was so poorly managed

Don’t waste your money! - Don’t waste your money. Just buy tickets for 15 Eur at the ticket office and do your own tour. They left early and without us as we couldn’t find them. They could have sent us a message in chat but they didn’t. Then they lied and said someone was waiting with a sign for us, we waited and waited, 45 minutes later she shows up! After I called for the 3rd time! When we finally made contact they told us to do our own tour and that’s what we did so didn’t need them and didn’t need to pay all that extra money!
