Per one customer who booked the Milan Super Saver: Skip-the-Line Duomo and Rooftop Guided Tour, "My friend and I were fortunate to have Eddy as our tour guide. Eddy was extremely knowledgeable, and we learned a great deal about the Duomo, from its history, architecture, building materials, stained-glass windows, to the many exterior and interior interesting sculptures and designs. Eddy's knowledge of the Duomo is inexhaustible. Besides being an excellent guide and teacher, he is very personable, attentive, and responsive to everyone who visits the Duomo under his care."
