Interesting and informative - This was an excellent way to see Milan for the first time. Our guide was friendly and informative.
We were on a bus for some of the tour from which we saw some places that we were visited later. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful La Scala theatre.

Good views and news - Tour guide was informative and easy to hear. Bring water if you go in the summer heat because there are no breaks or AC, even in museums. Be ready to cover your shoulders and knees if you visit Duomo. This didn’t sit right with me.

Worth every penny - Excellent tour. Our guide was very informative and English was great. He kept everyone moving at a good pace. Learned about some secrets that are hidden away. This tour was absolutely worth it. My wife is recovering from a hip injury and we couldn’t continue on. However, I’m sure if we did, there would be no disappointments. Our 11 yr old child was very interested in what our guide had to say. Also if you don’t cover your shoulders or knees, you will be denied entrance. HOWEVER, there are cover ups being sold outside. It’s still a place of worship and there must be respect.

Good! - It was a nice tour overall. Our guide was very knowledgeable and with a good sense of humor. I wished the group was a bit smaller so we could move from one spot to another faster and cover more information vs waiting for some ppl taking their time to take pictures, window shopping, get lost etc.

The tour guide was very... - The tour guide was very good and did a good job engaging the group throughout the tour. However, we were told when booking the tour that our ticket included going to the very top of the Duomo to experience the panoramic view. This did not happen and we were not told until the very end of the tour that our ticket did not include that experience. This was very disappointing to say the least!

Better than expected - Better than expected. Started at Castella, walked toward Duomo via main shopping street. Duomo excellent. Plenty of time in the caterdral. Walked via Galleria Vittorio, then piazza della scala (statute of leonardo) to La scala. All excellent. Guide was very good, but sound on headsets not always great. There was also some confusion on the tour as some were also booked for last supper, but guide thought all on the tour were. We knew we hadn’t paid for this and had done the last supper the day before, but others were disappointed. Overall, we got what we paid for and found it really informative.

Interesting but Disappointed - Did not meet my expectations! I was disappointed that the description and reviews did not deliver and lacked transparency, We did not find out that we would not be going up to see the panorama view until it was it was too late to purchase a ticket. We purchased the tour with our understanding that we would see the Duomo at both levels. With only limited time in Milan, I would have purchased a different tour.

Only half of the tour but still paid full price. - The Duomo was beautiful. But we didn’t get to see Teatro alla Scala as was supposed to happen. Instead they gave us a voucher instead of refunding us for this portion of the tour.
