Our Duomo tour with terraces access was great. Our tour guide, Laura, did an excellent job of sharing details about the building itself and the church's history. The views were incredible. This tour is for people who aren't afraid of heights and can handle walking up and down several narrow stone steps.

Our guide, Andre, was amazing! He is a born and raised Milan citizen who is very passionate and enthusiastic. This was a tremendous value for a fun and informative 2 hour tour, not to mention the breathtaking views atop the Duomo. The spires are like nothing I have ever seen. You won't regret this tour!

The tour itself was gorgeous. Our tour guide, Andrea (I'm 99% sure that was his name), was wonderful. My only complaint is that Trip Advisor changed the time of the tour, and did a terrible job of informing us. I'm glad it worked out that I was still able to go, but it could have worked out differently. I wish I could give a 1 star review for Trip Advisor, but a 5 star review for the tour and tour guide.
Great tour of the Milan Duomo

Our tour guide,Valaria, was amazing. She is so friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. She made sure my husband, who can’t climb stairs was able to take the elevator back down and made sure she found him outside after the roof portion of the tour was over. She pointed out many interesting secrets of the Duomo. I highly recommend this tour!
Best Duomo tour!
