You will have the incredible privilege of skipping the lines outside the Cathedral and to enter without any further wait, directly from a special entrance from the rooftop. Your guide is ready to amaze you focusing on the countless statues, decorations and colourful stained-glass windows that tireless craftsmen designed along the centuries and be amazed while hearing about the stories of the “Holy Nail” from Jesus’ True Cross or the Sundial Trail and its zodiac signs.
Meet your licensed tour guide in Piazza del Duomo and make your way to the elevator entrance, where you will take the lift to enjoy the unforgettable experience of walking on the Rooftop of the magnificent Duomo Cathedral: the overall size of this Gothic architecture is impressive and its flying buttresses and the white marble make it a one-of-a-kind. Climb nearly 50 steps to reach the highest level on the roof and be ready to admire stunning views of the Milanese skyline, including the brand-new upcoming skyscrapers… On the roof of Italy’s largest cathedral, and one of the biggest in the world, you can enjoy exciting views of Milan and on a clear day you may even see as far as the Italian Alps, the mountains separating Italy from Switzerland. Over 3.400 statues and 135 spires await to be unveiled and it is definitely best seen from above!

The elevator is very small and there are 90 more stairs to go up to the very top. Going down is 154 steps. The guide was very informative and fun.
Our guide was entertaining, funny and very knowledgeable! She made this tour outstanding! If you do a small group tour of the Duomo in Milan I hope you get Carla as your tour guide! The right guide makes the tour every time!
I was looking for an immersive tour of the famous Duomo of Milano, and to get inside without having to wait in line. The tour provided exactly that. The local guide Fabrizio was well-informed and courteous, very pleasant to have him as guide!
It was a fine tour. I think the roof top was enough. Nothing really especially noteworthy. But overall a good tour and must see.
This was a great tour of the cathedral in Milan also a roof tour. You get a great view of Milan, especially around the main square.
A beautiful way to appreciate the scale and craftsmanship of this iconic landmark. Knowledgeable, supportive guide.
Be sure not to be a minute late. I was having difficulty walking that morning and was slow. We were a couple minutes late but the group had left. I had to purchase new tickets from the ticket office. Not super happy about that extra expense.
Great tour. The guide was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this to friends and family. Thanks
Skip the queue for the rooftop itself was worth it. Good understanding of the history of the cathedral.
Great guides and great experience. They always arrive on time. They take care of you. You feel well attended
