Lots of history spoken throughout the tour. Rooftop stairs almost killed me, it’s about 20 stories high in a very confined space and no AC.
Very happy we got this tour. Our guide was a real treat. Informative and personable. Everything went smoothly.
The tour guide met us at the meeting point as arranged and took us into Il Duomo. Barbara was very informative and friendly. The tour was relatively short but for children, probably sufficient. We walked to the top terraza which was quite a climb but fabulous views over the city. I imagine this would be nice in the late afternoon. We had to take the 11:30 tour because that was all the availability there was, it was very hot up there. All in all very nice, it is cheaper if you get tickets on the day from the ticket office but quicker this way.
Great experience, one hour tour is a good amount of time.
This was a great tour led by Barbara who was knowledgeable and very likeable with a good sense of humour. Meeting point was easy to find. We would recommend this tour.
The Duomo tour was great, but we purchased the rooftop add on version and it was stair access only. I cannot walk that many stairs due to a knee injury. We were told by the operator that we could pay for the elevator upgrade, and would have done so, but when we tried we were told that the elevator access was sold out. Not sure how elevator access sells out, so we were disappointed that we could not see the roof.
Great tour. Highly recommend doing the 1 hr tour with roof/terrace access. Men need to remove hats and while I dressed appropriately as a woman they do also give our paper dresses to cover up if needed. Can bring in backpacks. Stairs to roof are very steep and narrow. Did not pay for elevator access but would have been nice.
Valeria is a great tour guide! Very nice and knowledgeable. The audio system was very helpful to hear what she was saying amount the very large crowd of other groups.
Our guide was extremely thorough in explaining the history behind the Duomo. She did a wonderful job pointing out and describing many of the amazing artifacts that it holds.
The visit was supposed to start at 11:30. Later, they told us it started at 12 because we did not have access to the museum, even though it said we would. Later on, the visit inside the cathedral was very ordinary. Not to mention the guide's English. The problem was not hers, but rather someone who promises a service and then does not deliver. That person's English was absolutely broken and was not enough for a decent explanation of the impressive Milan Cathedral. We have used Viator on many other occasions and the experience has always been far above what we experienced today.
