Wow! - This was our first tour and it was fantastic. Great way to start the trip. Our guide was wonderful and so smart, we loved him. There was a problematic woman in our group causing multiple disruptions and was late. He handled it so well and moved things along quickly.

Interesting visit - From Paris, I had booked the guided tour on the Duomo website, including interior visit and access to the terraces by elevator (descend by stairs).
The guide was particularly interesting and driven by her subject. The visit was in English, there are obviously few slots for the visit in French (probably more in the middle of summer).
The terraces offer a beautiful view of Milan, although many corners are inaccessible or with blocked views because, like most monuments of this size, there is constant work and therefore scaffolding.
Regardless, it was a very interesting visit.

Fantastic experience - This guided tour was probably one of the best things we did in Milan. Group size is around 16 and it felt great being able to bypass a lot of the general admission lines.
Simone our guide was absolutely brilliant, it was obvious he was very knowledgeable on the history and more recent updates of the Duomo but what was even better it was pitched at as accessible level for all to understand.
Simone was accommodating all the way through and brought oozes of personality and humour!
Fantastic experience would recommend to anyone coming to Milan!
