Best bits of Milano - We thoroughly enjoyed the in-depth tour of the Duamo and walk through the Galleria and Castle. Our guide Martino was very knowledgeable and obviously enjoys being a guide. The ice cream was delicious and we finished the tour with wine tasting, and Italian nibbles, which rounded out a perfect day. Highly recommended doing this tour if you only have time for 1 day in Milano.

Milan heights from Duomo rooftop plus Gelato delights! - This tour was a highlight for us! Excellent guide Dario, knowledgable caring and well paced, also the route was great as it centred us while we took in the beauty and magnitude of what we were seeing: the Galleria then the Duomo, the Sforza castle, providing context to all. We would not have appreciated the meaning of the area otherwise plus we would have missed amazing Gelato! Highly recommended. Rooftop and inside of Duomo is awe-inspiring.

Bene - Our guide was knowledgeable and quick with a story about the Duomo or the Castle. He also was ready and quick with an answer to most off hand questions. He made it easy for our group to get around and let us pause for photos wherever we wanted. Great tour!

History tour not to be missed - We were privileged to have a tour with Alessandro who was a fantastic tour guide, explaining so many things about each of the places we visited that we would not have known if it wasn’t for his knowledge and experience. Fantastic history of the castle had my wife and I hanging onto his every word wanting to know more. We were extra privileged that we were the only ones on the tour that morning, so we were able to ask plenty of questions and feel like we had a VIP tour. Would definitely recommend this tour if you want to get some amazing detail on the history of each of these places

Totally worth it! No regrets! - This is a great tour if you are looking for a taste of the main attractions in Milan. The tour was a good length with a kind guide who genuinely seemed to enjoy showing us around. The group was small and personal, but the provided earbuds made it easy to hear the guide while walking out of earshot. This was the first tour in Italy I went on and I was not disappointed. You get to see the beautiful stained glass inside the Duomo and the spires on the terrace. The view was beautiful from the rooftop and we saw a historical baptism pool below the cathedral too. The gelato was very good, we asked for our guide's recommendation of flavors to choose and ended up trying something new-- caramelized fig! That was unusual for us but tasted very good and sweet. The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II was amazing to see with its tall glass roof. At the end of the tour, we went to the Sforza Castle which was pretty interesting too. Keep an eye out for cute little cats in the empty moat! We saw two! To be honest, this tour was basically as advertised. The only differences we saw in real life was that our tour did not end back at the Galleria, it ended at the Sforza Castle (which we actually preferred, it is not that far a walk) and that there was some trouble with the Duomo personnel not honoring skip-the-line-tickets that the cathedral themselves had sold. Our guide was very good though and she was able to handle the situation and ensure that we did not wait in a very long line. Just be flexible and enjoy the sights, the outside of the Duomo is very interesting to look at up close as well. We also were able to ask our guide about the city, where to eat, how to get around, and she was glad to help. This tour is WORTH THE MONEY! I would recommend this if you want a little taste of everything!

Fantastic Tour with Marvelous Views - Victor took us on our tour. He was excellent and he knew so much knowledge about the Duomo. We also went downstairs to see the ruins of the original church that was built before the Duomo. The Gelato is very tasty and authentic. I would highly recommend this tour and going on the Roof of the Duomo. The views from the roof are fantastic.

Rooftop tour and gelato - Our guide Elaina was very knowledgeable. The view from the Duomo rooftop was fabulous. The small group experience made the tour more intimate and interesting. And of course, gelato never hurts.

Not compkete - I was told that this tour included entry into La Scalia and Sforza castle in addition to the Milan Duimo but it was just a tour outside the La Scala Theater and the Sforza Castle . Does not have enough time to take pictures or guide did not recommend photo spots .
