Awesome Tour - Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Between the Duomo and the castle, we rode the subway which was fun. These two structures are beautiful and exciting to visit. This tour was awesome!

An absolute MUST DO if you're in Milan...even for one day! - An absolute MUST DO if you’re in Milan! This was a true one of a kind experience! Our guide was very informative, polite and professional. She gave us incredibly detailed information about the Cathedral, the history, and the nature of the city as well as the different objects we were seeing. The Cathedral is incredible, and definitely takes your breath away quite a few times. The ability to be on top of it, and walk amongst all those tiny and not so tiny pillars, basically touch it’s beauty, and see the entire city of Milan and the Alps from atop, is one of a kind! The inside of the Cathedral, also, leaves your breathless with it’s beauty, endless bounty of history, and the overwhelming size of the actual building. This is a complete and absolute MUST DO if you’re in Milan even for a day! The Sforza Castle is quite cool too. We have seen and visited many castles in the world before, and this one definitely is on top of the list thus far! Such a big object! You don’t get to see the entire castle with the tour guide, but she did provide valuable information of what is worth seeing if you have some extra time. Unfortunately, we did not have a spare minute in our intense itinerary, but also felt quite fulfilled with what we have seen and witnessed during this tour. I would strongly encourage everyone visiting Milan to do this tour. You get to see great highlights of Milan in detail, and learn soooo much from the tour guide!

Excellent guide, small group - The guide was very knowledgeable and the first part of the tour was just with my wife and myself. The second part was with another pair. But the small group size was a big plus. Another good thing was doing the 9am departure from Duomo. It is a great idea to arrive 15 minutes early. We ended up walking from the meeting point, getting tickets and getting into the 'skip the line' line... and were the first in the elevator. So we got to see the top of the Duomo mostly on our own (they do let stair climbers up a a little earlier so a few hardy souls were there). Anyhow, I definitely recommend this tour.
