Beautiful castle in Milan. Beautiful and well-organized museums fill several of his rooms in the castle. Michelangelo's Pieta is - Make sure you understand that even though you're going into the castle, you are not seeing rooms of the castle but rather museums that are located in the castle. Well worth the visit are the museums of: armory, musical instruments, and most definitely Michelangelo's last and unfinished Pieta. A beautiful courtyard area. Lovely fountain at the front entrance.

Monotonous. - The tour guide was unfortunately quite monotonous and did not engage us much. Especially kids. This is of course not a kids tour, nonetheless, the tour guide could be more engaging.

With all due respects,... - With all due respects, the Tour Guide assigned to the tour did not meet our expectations when it came to fluency in English pronunciation. I am not commenting on the accent, as I am respectful of people’s accent because it signifies that the speaker knows and speaks more than at least one language, which is an accomplishment in itself!
