We were a fairly large group of 25 operating during a peak visiting period- Samantha our guide kept everyone together and engaged with interesting commentary and observations. She equally efficiently managed other less organised visitors outside of our party to ensure we kept to schedule- a very professional performance making sure we had the best experience of this wonderful church both inside and on the roof tour. Highly recommended 😊
Tour guide was fantastic and entertaining. She was knowledgeable and friendly. A definite tour to take!
Just finished the tour with Samantha on a very hot busy day she was great kept 25 of us from not getting lost and was not afraid to let other people know that they were pushing a very long line. I would highly recommend the tour and her as a guide
Carmine was an excellent guide with a deep knowledge of Milan’s history and culture. He explained everything in an engaging and approachable way, and the skip-the-line access and rooftop visit were absolutely worth it and added so much to the experience. He went above and beyond - offering thoughtful recommendations on places to visit, eat, and explore afterward. Several of his suggestions ended up being highlights of my trip. He created a friendly group atmosphere that made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend!
It was beautiful to see Duomo, few things to keep on mind; taking early group tour would be better due to hot and humid weather in Milan. The audio was not working properly with the guide trying his best to make it work! The guide was good explaining all the details in spite of audio issues. It is must visit place.
Carmine was an exceptional guide on our Duomo tour today. He was very articulate and informative staying focused on the group and making sure we were all coping during this heatwave. We benefited from his knowledge and of the history and details of the cathedral. A welcome addition to our trip!
Excellent guide. Knowledgeable and thoughtful. Took his time to be inclusive and thoughtful to help those with limitations.
It was a very hot day so skipping the line of people waiting to go up to the rooftop was well worth booking this tour beforehand. The guide was excellent with an enormous amount of knowledge. He was easy going and explained what we coming up in the tour. He kept our group all together and in the shade as much as possible which was appreciated. The meeting spot worked well but you need to ask which tour is the one you booked with as a couple of tours met at the same location. Great 2 hours.
Wonderful engaging funny guide that gave us so much history! We learned so much and navigated the Duomo with great ease in this small group. What a great value!
What an enjoyable experience. Character pur tour guide was so knowledgeable and super funny. We were so lucky to have her as our tour guide. The tour itself is fantastic and worth the money. I totally recommend it.
