Fantastic private tour! - This was an absolutely fabulous private tour. Our guide, Daria, was so pleasant and knowledgeable about every aspect of the city, its art, buildings and best places. The 3 hours fly by as we enjoyed hearing the city’s history and best places. Daria answered our questions, took beautiful pictures, and was an absolute joy. I highly recommend this tour!

Great Tour and Tour Guide! - Our tour guide was very polite and knowledgeable. We explored the Duomo in great detail and were able to skip the line to get inside. After touring the inside, we went to the roof for a more up close view of the individual sculptures. We then toured the outside of Milan and stopped for the best gelato! (We’ve spent multiple weeks in Italy and this gelato place was the very best!)

Stephanie was the best !!!! - 5/5
Having never been to Milan until this trip, we were uncertain as to what to expect. Booked a private walking it included the Duomo, the castle (walk to only and see inside public court yards) and a stop at Venchi gelato/chocolate. Stephanie was our guide. She was born in Milan and has been to tours for more than 14 years. The tour was exceptional, especially if the Duomo starting at the rooftop and working our way down into the interior of the church and even underground to recent archaeological findings back to 300 A.D. (The history contained within the space spans more than 2000 years). We’ve been in Italy for two weeks and this was our second most favorite tour (our first was a day wine tour at 2 wineries in Tuscany, see separate review). I would highly recommend this tour and furthermore, I would specifically request a tour with Stephanie.

Great tour, Great guide, Spectacular sights - Giorgio was very friendly and knowledgeable about the Duomo and Sforza Castle. The Duomo was breathtaking and being up on the terraces offered amazing views of the city and up close views of the statues. The gelato was yummy too! I would definitely recommend this tour.

Top rated guide and service - Victor …. Fantastic guide …. Spent nearly 3 hours exploring the Duomo , inside and out and to the top. Took the time to explain the early beginnings of construction and had iPad pictures to show exposed sections during repairs and renovations.

Fabulous customized 6 hour tour skipping lines with Ester! - We had a private customized tour of the Duomo with rooftop access, a gelato tasting, the castle, and then skip the line access to the last supper. We were lucky enough to have Ester as our guide. She was amazing, friendly, hilarious, was so knowledgeable of all the attractions, and pointed out things that we would have never known by exploring the city ourselves. We wish we had more time with her so we could see and learn more of beautiful Milan!!!
