Our tour was great! St. Mark's is absolutely breathtaking and the tour was just long enough to see everything inside and out. So thankful to buy this tour in advance because it was sold out on the day we went. The gondola ride was relaxing as well.
This guided tour was brilliant. Our guide Silvia truly knew her stuff. The way she had us imagine Milan in centuries past was fantastic. The best thing about our tour was the fact that there were only four of us as 18 others cancelled, so it felt like a private tour. The Duomo was well worth the visit and visiting the Sforzesco castle was a highlight too. Thank you Silvia for a tremendous tour.
Very informative! Great tour! Highly recommended! Very organized and efficient! Would recommend it to others.
