Experience 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.
Olja_M, Jun 2026
It 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.
Benjamin_L, Jun 2026
Our 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.

It can be very sunny and hot. Go early in the day to avoid larger crowds and the heat! There are some stairs- elevator access is available but you still need to do some stairs to access.
Matthew_S, Jun 2026
Loridana was an excellent guide, starting the tour outside the duomo we go insight into the history of the duomo and sound surrounding buildings and their significance. Would highly recommend booking this tour if you are looking to see the duomo while in Milan!

Daniela was a fantastic tour guide. She was personable and informative. We loved the skip the line access and the views from the rooftop! So worth it. The Duomo is spectacular and it was incredibly helpful to have a tour guide. We learned so much!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hi there, thank you so much for your lovely review 😊
We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the Duomo experience with Daniela and that her explanations helped you fully appreciate such an iconic monument. It’s great that you loved the skip-the-line access and the rooftop views—the Duomo really is spectacular from up there ✨
Hope to welcome you again in Milan for another experience soon!
David_W, May 2026
Outstanding tour, mainly because our tour guide was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable and a great storyteller, very entertaining and interesting. And she knew the answer to every question about the history and architectural details of the Duomo. I highly recommend.
OlgaMork_V, May 2026
The guide was good she new a lot of facts and interesting stories about the Dome. Not to big a groupe
Brenda_B, May 2026
Amazing tour, with a lot of information and great views. Our guide Daniela was very careful to keep the group together and answer all our questions. She was pretty knowledgeable and made the tour a highlight of my trip.
Linda_K, May 2026
Visiting the roof was a highlight of our trip to Milan. Tour guide arrived late and we didn’t get to finish the tour of the inside due to another tour commitment. For this price the guide should be on time and not 15 minutes late.
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Linda, thank you for your review, and we're so glad to hear that the rooftop visit was a highlight of your time in Milan. It truly is a magical experience!
That said, we sincerely apologize for our guide's late arrival, which on this occasion was caused by a train delay. We fully understand how frustrating this must have been, especially as it affected the overall flow of the tour. We pride ourselves on being very strict about punctuality out of respect for all our guests, and we're truly sorry that this time we fell short of that standard.
Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will make sure it is taken into account. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and give you the full experience you deserved!
Lauren_M, May 2026
Cannot speak more highly about this tour. Our tour guide was amazing. She kept us moving while staying informed and was thoughtful about any accommodations that we as a group needed. She was full of information and kept things vibrant and a tour that was about two hours long felt like it passed in the blink of an eye. Cannot recommend our tour guide enough.
Anthony_M, May 2026
This is an excellent way to see the Duomo. She did an outstanding job and would highly recommend her
Mark_P, May 2026
Very easy to book and tour guide was exceptional. While it was very busy Daniella made sure that we were able to take everything in.
Madonna_D, May 2026
Danellia was an excellent tour guide full of information. The cathedral is breathtaking inside and out.
Jennifer_R, May 2026
Daniella was fantastic! She was so knowledgeable and had several reference images for us to see of historical things you would not typically have access to without knowing, and her patience and attitude were excellent with the big crowd while on the terrace. Highly recommend.
Nancy_I, Apr 2026
This has to be a must when visiting Milan
. Our guide was fabulous and the tour was well worth it! It took about 2 hours but we could have stayed longer.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear you found the Duomo tour a must-do in Milan! It’s great that you enjoyed the experience so much that you would have stayed even longer, that’s always the best compliment we can receive.
Natasha_N, Apr 2026
Amazing experience with Daniela! She was extremely knowledgeable about the Milan Duomo and made the tour so much fun! This tour is a MUST DO if you come to Milan. Seriously the coolest experience of my life!! Thanks again Daniela!
Rhona_B, Apr 2026
The tour was fantastic and definitely a must way to view the Cathedral which was stunning.
Very enjoyable and educational. Take a small bottle of water for the tour if it’s a hot day.
Be aware there are a fair few steps to go up and down but absolutely worth it.
Our tour guide was brilliant and waited if we wanted to take pictures.
We went at 12 noon but apparently the evening tour and views at night are also meant to be fabulous.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your amazing words! We’re so happy you had such a fantastic experience with Daniela. It’s wonderful to hear the tour felt so engaging and memorable for you. Your enthusiasm really means a lot to us, thank you for recommending it so highly!
Satya_T, Apr 2026
Guide is ok but, in a hurry, to finish the trip... Doesn't give much time especially at the terrace. Very sad and upsetting.
Probably better to go by self as we can spend more time as we wish.
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi Satya, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the tour 🙂
We are sorry to hear that you felt the experience was a bit rushed and that there wasn’t enough time on the terraces. We always aim for our tours to be enjoyable and well paced, allowing guests to fully appreciate the Duomo and its details.
We truly appreciate your comments and will take them into account to keep improving our tours 😊
Heather_R, Apr 2026
Danielle was extremely knowledgeable and gave a great tour. Having a guide is the only way to do the tour. Without one, you will still see amazing things but you won't get to hear the history and know how the Duomo was made or the reason why.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for sharing this thoughtful review! We completely agree that hearing the stories and history behind the Duomo makes the visit much more meaningful. We’re so glad the guide helped bring the monument to life in a memorable way :)
katherine_s, Mar 2026
Loved the views from the roof! Danelle was a great tour guide. Professional, knowledgeable and knew how to meet our needs to complete tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you, Katherine! We’re so glad you enjoyed the rooftop views and the overall experience. Exploring the Duomo from above is truly special, and it’s great to hear the tour felt smooth and tailored to your needs.
Pia_A, Mar 2026
Our tour of the Duomo was wonderful! Even though it rained all day, which put a bit of a damper on things, we still made the most of it and had a fantastic experience. The tour was perfect and very informative, and we learned so much about the history and details of the cathedral that we never would have noticed on our own.
Our guide was engaging and knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts throughout the tour that really brought everything to life. Access to the Duomo rooftop was the cherry on top of the experience. Even in the rain, it was incredible to see the architecture up close and take in the views. It’s something that absolutely must not be skipped if you’re touring the Duomo.
Despite the rainy weather, the experience was memorable and completely worth it. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi Pia, thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the tour despite the rain. Experiencing the cathedral with a knowledgeable guide and visiting the rooftops makes the Duomo truly unforgettable and we're happy you appreciated it! :)
Tom_L, Feb 2026
Excellent way to see and learn about the Duomo di Milano! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and informative! She provided us much information about the duomo and Milan that we used for the rest of our trip!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi Tom, thank you for your kind words! We’re happy the tour helped you better understand the Duomo and its connection to Milan. It’s wonderful to know the insights shared were useful throughout the rest of your trip.

Terrific perspective from the terraces and very informative detail on the church. Loridana was delightful and answered all of our questions. Really interesting tour we all enjoyed!

The highlight of all tours in Milan!!
Amazing to view the architecture from the rooftops and see the flying buttresses..
Response from Host, Feb 2026

Rahoul_B, Jan 2026
Loredana is a wonderful person and a passionate guide. She takes time to explain and happy to answer questions. She’s not one of those commercial people who go by the clock. My wife and I had a wonderful time listening to her explain the history and background of the Duomo.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hi! Thank you for your review. What a lovely compliment for Loredana! Her genuine passion for the Duomo really does shine through, and we're so glad you both felt that connection during your visit 😁
Stefanie_B, Jan 2026
WORTH IT! We literally did skip lines with our guide Daniella, who is Milanese and had flawless English. and we learned so much from her about the history as well As present day. And the views from the rooftop terraces are not to be missed; she pointed out other landmarks in the city from there.
Swarna_K, Jan 2026
Amazing experience and very worth it. We got lots of secrets and details about the Duomo and milano city. Our guide Daniela was very knowledgeable and super friendly and answered our questions. Very satisfied with our experience and would recommend onwards
