Sforza Castle Experience - Our guide was very knowledgable and explained everything in detail. The castle was amazing with a wealth of items in the museum that you could spend a couple of days going through everything.

Book this tour! Don't visit Sforza without a guide! - Our guide was super knowledgeable! If you visit Sforza Castle without a guide you will miss so much. Our guide made the castle come alive and gave great insight into the Michelangelo and Da Vinci ceiling that we would have otherwise missed.

DO NOT use “Towns of Italy” tours - I was extremely disappointed by “Towns of Italy”. I bought an expensive private tour for friends of all of Sforza Castle only to be told by our guide that it wouldn’t include the Leonardo Da Vinci mural that was restored and open during the Olympics. She kept saying it was closed, even as we saw visitors coming in and out of the area — some of them were even friends who bought tickets last minute! When I called customer service, the woman was rude and said it was my fault for not being specific about wanting to see the Da Vinci ceiling. I believe that a private tour of all of Sforza Castle would and should be all inclusive She finally said they would consider a partial refund, but did nothing about it. I have never written a bad review before but I don’t want anyone else to be taken for $400+ during a special trip to Milan. I didn’t give it Very Poor because our guide tried to correct this error on site after we pointed out the inconsistencies but was unable to help.

Tour cancelled but we didn't get the message - Because of a political demonstration in the area that caused the closing of the nearby Duomo metro station, our tour was cancelled. The guide evidently tried to call and text us, but our European phone wasn't working properly. However, if he had emailed us (and obviously Viator has our email address) we would have gotten the message. Instead, we waited 1/2 hour for a no-show, then had to wait an hour in line just to get into Sforza Castle. No audio guide, no map, and loads of people on a Saturday afternoon. The cancellation seemed unnecessary as there were loads of other tours going through. And we're still waiting to hear about a refund, which the local tour operator did not put through.
