They are visible and you can locate them easily outside the cathedral. Very friendly! I loved that the audio was not prerecorded. It was an actual guide. I liked that I could go have lunch and come back to the museum and take my time. I wish they had a book about the museum. I would like something to reference all my pics too.

Barbara was an excellent...

Tracy_M, May 2026

Barbara was an excellent tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable. The length of the tour was just the right amount of time

Teatro alla scala

Mary_M, May 2026

This was wonderful but your refusal to rebook us on the tour we had paid for of the cathedral was dispicable. You had room on the next day but insisted that we pay again. Rotten trick.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re glad you enjoyed the tour itself. To clarify, after the original booking was marked as a no-show, your request was to join the tour on the following day using the same booking. This would have required us to provide a new tour (new tickets and guide service) at no additional cost, effectively creating a second booking for free. As per the policy agreed at the time of booking through Viator, no-show bookings cannot be modified or reused. We apply these policies consistently to all guests to ensure fairness and to cover the operational costs already incurred for each reservation. Kind regards, Museum Voyage Team

A great tour!

Joanne_H, May 2026

Great tour and lots of good information. Barbara was a great guide. She told us about the history of the duomo and highlighted the beautiful stained glass windows.

Amazing cathedral!

Brian_C, Apr 2026

Our tour guide Barbara did a great job explaining about the history of cathedral and what we were looking at. A bit of history mixed with a bit of humour! Before entering the cathedral, you do an unguided 45 minute walk through of the Duomo museum, which is an opportunity to see some artifacts up close.

Duomo Milano Tour

Allison_D, Apr 2026

The Duomo Milano is a beautiful dramatic church to visit, especially walking up to the rooftop and decks overlooking the city. Full of beauty and history,Barbara was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable and lively. This is a must-see.

This allows you both...

Samantha_W, Apr 2026

This allows you both access to the Duomo, its rooftop, and the nearby Museo dei Duomo. It’s best that you see the Museo first (get a little context to what you’re about to see) before you do the tour. Our guide was very kind and very informative. She did try to keep it engaging and provided good context for all that we got to see.

Such a good experience!

Brooke_J, Apr 2026

Corinna was absolutely an amazing tour guide. We went into detail about the history that i didn’t even know! It was such a cool experience, and i recommend this to anyone wanting to do a tour of the cathedral.

Great tour with Corina

kira, Apr 2026

Corina was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable, answered our questions and was helpful. I found it quite informative.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your kind words! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the tour with Corina. She’s truly passionate about what she does, and it means a lot to know her knowledge and help made your experience more enjoyable. We hope to welcome you again in the future!

Worth Every Euro!

Keith_Y, Apr 2026

This tour was a last minute booking and worth every dollar or should I say Euro! The guide was very friendly and highly informative! I did all 3 tour items, which I would recommend. The main cathedral and roof tours are a must, and is what I initially booked. During the tour, our guide mentioned the small catacombs below which is part of the original church where one of the first priest is laid to rest. I was able to book the catacombs inside the cathedral on the spot for just €3.50, and it was worth it. The directions for the meeting spot were very good, and if you need additional help, Robert the guide’s son was extremely helpful and friendly. His mom Corina, did a great job and her English was excellent. Her passion for the Doumo Cathedral really shined through during the tour. She even took a few extra minutes after the tour to answer some additional questions. I would highly recommend Robert and Corina for anyone interested in getting an excellent tour of the Duomo, which is a must see when you’re in Milano.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for such a detailed and wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed all aspects of the tour and found it worth it. Corina will be especially happy to hear your kind words, and Robert as well he’ll appreciate the mention! It’s great that you also explored the catacombs and made the most of your visit. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again in Milan

Not worth the price of the guide

Michelle_W, Apr 2026

The tour is overpriced! Buy the tickets at the cathedral as they are cheaper (but risk tickets selling out) and nearly all of the information from the tour guide is available in the museum opposite the cathedral (again cheaper to buy all those tickets than this tour).

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We respectfully disagree with your assessment and would like to clarify a few important points for future readers. Our experience is clearly described at the time of booking and includes not only entry tickets, but also priority access, a licensed professional guide, and a structured visit designed to provide historical and cultural context that cannot be replicated by visiting independently. While it is technically possible to purchase tickets on-site, availability is often limited, and wait times can be significant—especially during peak periods. Our service is designed specifically to eliminate these uncertainties and enhance the overall experience. Regarding the information provided, comparing a guided tour to reading museum panels overlooks the value of a live, interactive explanation tailored to the group, with the opportunity to ask questions and gain deeper insight. We always encourage guests to carefully review the full description before booking to ensure the experience matches their expectations. That said, we appreciate your opinion and will continue working to deliver high-quality experiences to all our guests.

Read the details before booking don’t rely on title

mrgsalvo, Apr 2026

The experience was really disappointing. There isn’t much to see inside the Duomo, and the history is not particularly remarkable—it feels no different from many other ordinary churches. The advertisement is misleading, as it suggests that the terraces are included, but in reality this is a separate option. Unfortunately, I only realized that my ticket did not include access to the terraces after it was too late. When I contacted the booking service to clarify this, the only response I received was to “read the booking details,” and they offered no help or flexibility at all. Overall, the experience did not meet expectations and felt poorly communicated.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

We must clarify that your claim regarding “misleading advertising” is incorrect. The option you selected is clearly named “Cathedral Only Tour No Rooftop Access”, and this is consistently specified in the inclusions, exclusions, and booking voucher provided prior to the experience. The rooftop is a separate option, and guests who booked that specific upgrade accessed it without any issue. Therefore, this situation is not due to misleading information, but to the ticket type selected at the time of booking. Your comment that there is “not much to see” and that the history is “not particularly remarkable” reflects a personal opinion about one of the most internationally recognized cathedrals in the world, and is not related to the quality of the guided service provided. We always strongly encourage guests to carefully review the full description before booking to ensure the experience matches their expectations. We stand by the clarity of our listing and the service delivered.

We were provided with...

Bill_N, Apr 2026

We were provided with wonderful insights into the history of this magnificent cathedral. Very well worth the time and $$$.

Signed up for tour to...

Debra_F, Apr 2026

Signed up for tour to start at 11:30 and was told arrive 15 minutes prior- 11:30 they handed us paper for entry and come back at noon. Felt tour could have been alittle more in depth And felt rushed with tour guide but was to stay longer on our own afterwards Headset that used was muffled at times and hard to hear.

Amazing church

William_A, Apr 2026

Learned some interesting facts. Good tour, glad we were able to get tickets at the last minute. The lift helped a lot!!!

Good tour

Stephen_M, Mar 2026

Great tour! Loved skipping the long lines to reach the Duomo rooftop. The views were breathtaking!!!

Our guide Valeria shared...

Jacqueline_G, Mar 2026

Our guide Valeria shared lots of information on the Duomo. Great experience, would recommend going to the museum and the church before the tour.

Good option if you want to be quick

S_W, Mar 2026

This is a good, quick tour. There are three parts. 1) on your own in the museum (30 mins), 2) a guided tour of the Duomo (1 hr), and 3) on your own to the rooftop (as long as you want). The guided tour is good and educational, but you could probably spend more time in it. We took the elevator up to the rooftop, but you need to use the stairs to get down. The hardest part was finding our guide when we got there, but he called me and then we were able to connect.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your detailed review! We’re glad you enjoyed the guided tour and found it educational. We appreciate your feedback about connecting with the guide and the timing we’ll make sure instructions are even clearer for future guests.

Timeliness is next to godliness

Kevin_W, Mar 2026

Our guide was 10 minutes late, which made everything a bit rushed. Despite this, she was very knowledgeable and we were glad we did it.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the delay and understand how it made your visit feel rushed. We’re glad you still enjoyed the tour and found our guide knowledgeable. We’ll work to ensure timeliness for all future guests and hope to welcome you back to Milan soon!

Duomo visit

Waleska_L, Mar 2026

We had an excellent guided visit to the Duomo in Milan. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating details that truly brought the cathedral to life. She got us in quickly, skipping the very long lines, and walked us through the Duomo in a fast, efficient, and well-organized way — without ever making it feel rushed. The tour ended with access to the Duomo rooftop, which was absolutely unforgettable. Seeing the sculptures up close was so special, and the view from the top is simply breathtaking. Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience the Duomo in the best possible way.

Delightful

Quick Tour Of Duomo + Rooftop Access

Nicole_R, Feb 2026

It was a 45-minute guided tour inside of the Duomo, and then you had the ability to stay inside as long as you liked afterwards. Additionally, if you bought the ticket for rooftop access, you could explore that as well on your own. I gave this a 3-star rating only because it was difficult to hear the tour guide. We used radios as we were a larger group, and the guide didn't want to speak too loudly inside the cathedral, but the quality of the radio connection was poor so I didn't hear most of the tour. I tried my best to stand next to the guide to hear her directly without the radio earpiece. It was either my headphone connection or perhaps on the guide's end of being static-y with the microphone. I booked this as a last-minute tour on my last day in Milan, and I'm glad I got a bit of a history lesson on the Duomo and being able to go inside, but it wasn't the best tour experience I've had with Viator.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for your feedback and for visiting Duomo di Milano with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the history and the opportunity to explore the cathedral and rooftop. We’re very sorry about the audio issues you experienced. While guides must keep a respectful tone inside the cathedral, the headset quality should still allow you to hear clearly. We will review this with our team to prevent similar issues in the future. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again for an even better experience.

Efficient tour, solid value

Justin_M, Feb 2026

Short tour of Duomo that gives you just the basics. You’re then left to explore the Duomo and travel up to the roof on your own. Very good value, just don’t expect in-depth detail.

Tour was fantastic!

Ann_E, Feb 2026

Our tour guide was very good and very knowledgeable. The Duomo is absolutely stunning. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it was very hard to find the meeting place. The company called us a couple of times to see where we were at, but had to call them back to get better meeting point instructions.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you very much for your kind words about your experience at Duomo di Milano. We’re delighted to hear that you found the cathedral stunning and that you enjoyed our guide’s knowledge and presentation. We’re sorry that the meeting point was difficult to find. We’re glad our team was able to assist you by phone, and we will continue working to make our instructions even clearer and easier to follow.

Memorable Duomo experience

Terri_T, Feb 2026

This was an in-depth and concise tour - just the right amount of time to learn the history before the chance to explore on our own. Our guide was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable.

DISSAPOINTING that rooftop access was NOT INCLUDED as the title of tour stated

Leslie_E, Feb 2026

The title on the Tour states “Guided cathedral tour AND ROOFTOP ACCESS” however in the fine print roof top access is not included in all tours. VERY DISAPPOINTING that we could not go up top on the beautiful sunny day because it was sold out. We were under the impression that we had rroof top access.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment. However, we would like to clarify that this tour offers multiple booking options, clearly presented at the time of purchase. The option you selected did not include rooftop access, as stated in the Inclusions section available for review before confirming the reservation. We always encourage guests to carefully review the selected option details to ensure it matches their expectations. We regret any misunderstanding and appreciate your feedback, which helps us keep our information as clear as possible for future travelers.

40 min duomo tour & self guided walk up to rooftop.

Arlean_B, Feb 2026

Our actual tour guide was 5star. The best, very informative & kept the pace going. It was a pleasure to have her. However the tour coordinators we met outside were aweful. Not on time, no communication on why they were late, & I had not questioned the paper ticket (written in italian) about the timing, we would have waited an extra hour standing around. Not very acceptable. But in the end, after a "discussion with the manager" somehow we got our tour on time.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

We’re thrilled you found your guide 5-star and enjoyed her knowledge and pacing. We’re glad the situation was ultimately resolved and that you were able to start your tour on time. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Loved the presentation...

Ann_Z, Feb 2026

Loved the presentation from our guide. She was willing to answer all our questions and went beyond her time limit. So pleased to have taken this tour.
