Worth seeing without a tour but expensive. It is best to walk right in the morning to escape the measures. Dom Museum has also been with us , also worth seeing. The archaeological vault was not exciting. The interior of the cathedral and the roof terrace are most impressive.
Visiting the Duomo rooftop was one of my favorite Milan experiences. The spires up close are absolutely breathtaking, the panoramic views stretch across the entire city, and the history behind every detail feels magical. Really fave you the “behind scenes” feel. Our local guide was amazing and brought the stories of the cathedral to life. A must-do when visiting Milan!
Fabio provided some wonderful details about the history of the Duomo. The views from the top were incredible.
Excellent, visit very worthy, the guide was very Good and helpful, always explaining every single detail
Great way to see upclose the architecture of the Duomo. The audio was a little difficult but worked well in the end!
If you get a chance this tour is a must. There is an elevator that goes up and stairs are not to bad 170 down. View from the rooftop was spectacular. With 23 tours on our trip this is definitely in the top 5.
Marcella was great! So was our driver. We had a wonderful experience! Thank you very much! We will definitely recommend this trip!
A fabulous tour with a really well informed guide. We really enjoyed this experience. We were lucky it was a stunning day and could see to the mountains from the roof.
The guide was a local and very knowledgeable and kind, she would answer any questions the small group had. We were brought to the elevator to go up and skipped the line, would absolutely recommend!
The rooftop of the Milan Duomo was very impressive. Our guide was good and knowledgeable. She had a wonderful personality which made this tour outstanding.
