Nice tour. The guide offer many historical details and curiosities about the sites and cities. I would have missed otherwise.
This tour gave us a great opportunity to see a lot in three hours. Meeting at the Galleria was beautiful, the Duomo was magnificent from top to bottom and the castle was nice to see. There is a lot of walking and it’s paced at a good speed to be able to get everything in. The gelato at the end makes everything worth it. Our tour guide Marco was an absolute gem. Worth the money for everything included.
Excellent tour. Mr. MARTINO is a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and informative. The view from the rooftop of the Duomo di Milano is amazing. Loved the ice cream toward the end!
This was an amazing experience. Mr Alberto ticked all the boxes - courteous and extremely knowledgeable and he provided so much additional information - all greatly appreciated. I really appreciated that Mr Alberto did not attempt to rush us from one attraction to the next. There was plenty of time to take photos and to ask questions. The group size was capped at 8 which made for an easy experience where everyone could share in the experience, contribute and be heard. Duomo and the Rooftop are spectacular and not to be missed. Oh, and the gelato at Venchi - Mamma Mia!
Just magnificent views.downtown, anll the way to the Alps. Incredibly informative, amicable, and fun. History, sights, and gelato!
Small group. Very interesting itinerary. Excellent guide, knew her stuff. Awesome ice cream. Highly recommended to all.
Mr. Allessandro was very knowledgable and gave a great narration throughout the tour. We 'skipped the line' at the Duomo rooftop, and were able to explore while he shared history and details of the building that definitely enhanced our visit. We were also able to walk through the church itself during a service (outside the central service area) and learn a bit about the rennovations and design details of the church itself. We proceeded from there for gelato (the group was ready for a little break), and then on to castle sforza and more history of the area and the castle itself. We wrapped up back at the galleria. All in all a very informative and entertaining way to get some history and guided sightseeing around the center of Milan
Mr Allesandro was very knowledgeable and fun. Great tour of the Duomo and rooftop. I highly recommend this tour. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxccc
We really enjoyed the roof top Duomo tour the best! Also the gelato hit the spot! Allesandro ( our guide) was very nice and knowledgeable ! The views from the rooftop and history of the duomo was just what we wanted!!
Marco was an exceptional tour guide. He was easy to hear and understand. He gave the perfect amount of information at a steady pace and of course, always open to questions. Il Duomo is remarkable in every detail, Marco helped us gain an appreciation for the magnificent detail of this extraordinary cathedral. The gelato was excellent, timing of the tour perfect. Thank you Marco. We highly recommend this well paced tour.
