5.00Experience was great from start to finish. Very clear directions to meet with the guide. Start at the roof top for amazing views and history of the duomo. You then move into the church. Our guide (Loridonna) was amazing. She was nice, informative, and her English was very easy to understand. Would definitely recommend this tour.

5.00It was very informative, the guide was great. Very good tour. We “skipped” all the lines and did not wait where ever possible. Note of caution: Elevator is just to first floor terrace. There are 90 more steps to go to second floor, and full descent is down the narrow winding stairs. If you are not fully mobile and expected elevator ride, it is only partial. On the top you are standing on the roof, so slanted and uneven surface.
Skip the lines and fall in love with the Duome Milano

5.00Our guide did a wonderful job, the flow of the tour was seamless and smooth while many other guides seem to struggle we went right through and were able to see all of the stunning art pieces on the rooftop and inside the church. She took the time to walk us through the details of stunning architecture and the history of the incredible window art, detailing the old testament through Christ’s death and resurrection, his sacrifice to bring eternal life to all who believe and accept him as their Lord and Savior. We left with a new found appreciation for this fantastic monument, centered in Milan to celebrate God’s love for all mankind.
