Highlights

Duomo di Milano - Start in late morning in the heart of the city, at the famous Duomo. The Gothic cathedral is thought by many to be one of the most beautiful churches in the world, and your guide will point out aspects of its impressive façade. Admire its flying butresses, and the gilded bronze statue of “Madonnina” atop the main spire.
Piazza della Scala - Continue to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II for a walk through the glass vaults of the majestic 19th-century shopping arcade. Often referred to as, “Salotto di Milano” (Milan’s Drawing Room), the gallery is surrounded by boutique shops and cafés.

Next, go to Piazza della Scala for a tour of the legendary La Scala Theatre opera house. Built in 1776, the theater has played host to some of the world’s greatest musicians, including Giuseppe Verdi, Bellini, Rossini, and Donizetti. See the beautiful horseshoe auditorium from one of the 4th row boxes.

Castello Sforzesco - Continue to the hidden Piazza dei Mercanti, and enjoy a short respite from the crowds as you thrill to Bramante’s illusion of space created during the Renaissance. Stroll through the medieval heart of Milan to Sforza Castle, the impressive fortress of the former Dukes of Milan, and now the home of many of Milan’s finest museums.

Excellet Summary of 3 of Milan's main attractions. - The tour was great, if you like history. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Her English was very strong - no problems communicating. And, of course, the site were fantastic. It would be great to combine this with 30 minutes inside the Duomo.

What a wonderful day! - Our guide, Vera, gave us a fantastic city tour tailored to our interests and requests. For example, we skipped the cathedral because we'd planned to do that later in the day, but spent lots more time in the museum at LaScala. She was very knowledgeable and a delightful guide... even giving us tips on areas to go for lunch away from the tourists! Well worth the money.
