Eddy was a fantastic guide—patient, knowledgeable, and very informative. He made the experience enjoyable and was happy to answer all our questions. Highly recommended!
Great experience. Everything was as advertised.
Great way to see the Duomo! Our guide was very informative and the church is beautiful and rich with history and art.
Our tour guide Chiara knew her stuff, was funny, engaging, entertaining and full of energy. The tour was one of the best we’ve been on (and we’ve been on quite a few)! Highly recommended.
I don’t usually do tours but since this was short I decided to give it a shot. If it wasn’t for our guide I would have left the tour due to the heat. Ciara I think was the name of our guide. She was so funny and entertaining I could not leave and miss out on listening to her and that is the only reason I stayed.
The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and gave insights on respecting the space. Make sure you cover your shoulders and knees
Excellent trip and the guide made it even better. Lots of laughs and details along the way. Would highly recommend.
The guide was totally hands on the complete tour. Explained everything in detail and every aspect of the tour was precisely as mentioned at time of booking.
Fantastico! Kiara was brilliant - not just her knowledge and passion for the Duomo, but her humour, expressionism and engagement with all the tour group was exceptional. The Italian sass she demonstrated to keep us, the hundreds of other tourists who crossed into our path and even the security in line was hilarious. Kiara you're the best 😍
We were in Milan on 08/01 and had booked the (English!!) tour at 10:00 AM. According to the announcement, we were on-site at 9:45 AM. It quickly turned out that a mistake had been made, because the tour was supposed to be in Spanish. Besides us, there were 15 Americans, 4 Britons, and 4 Czechs in the group, none of whom spoke Spanish. It took 45 minutes until it was clarified that the lady could also conduct the tour in English. Then the technology didn't work, so we only received information during the ascent when the opportunity arose. Only when we were back down were there new devices, which in turn took 15 minutes. The lady was very eager overall. Furthermore, a note about the dress code would have been good; then we could have saved the money for scarves/ponchos. Tank tops are not allowed. (Which is entirely understandable.)
Sehr geehrte Frau Sabine, vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, uns Ihr Feedback mitzuteilen. Wir möchten jedoch einige wichtige Punkte bezüglich Ihrer Tour am 01.08. klarstellen: Sprache und Abfahrtszeit: Die Tour war von Anfang an auf Englisch geplant und wurde auch auf Englisch durchgeführt. Es lag kein Fehler bei der Sprache der Führung vor. Es waren lediglich zwei spanischsprachige Gäste in der Gruppe anwesend, denen die Reiseleiterin aus Höflichkeit kurze Hinweise gab. Zudem ist die Tour absolut pünktlich gestartet. Die Zeitfenster für den Einlass in den Dom und auf die Terrassen sind extrem streng und werden von den Behörden genauestens kontrolliert. Bei einer Verzögerung von 45 Minuten hätte die gesamte Gruppe den Zutritt verloren. Hinweise zur Kleiderordnung: Was die Kleiderordnung betrifft, informieren wir unsere Gäste stets vorab. Der Hinweis, dass Schultern und Knie bedeckt sein müssen, steht klar und deutlich in der Tourbeschreibung auf der Buchungsseite sowie auf Ihrem Bestätigungsvoucher. Dies ist eine Standardregel für den Zutritt zu allen Kirchen und religiösen Stätten weltweit. Es freut uns zu lesen, dass Sie den großen Einsatz unserer Reiseleiterin geschätzt haben, und wir danken Ihnen nochmals für Ihren Besuch. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Davide
