We had a wonderful experience on the Duomo rooftop tour today. The highlight is definitely going up to the roof — the views are absolutely worth it and give you a completely different perspective of Milan. Our guide, Marcella, was fantastic very knowledgeable, kind, and engaging throughout the tour. She used an iPad to show helpful visuals that made the history come alive. The tour felt informative without being overwhelming, and everything was very well organized. Overall, we had a great time and highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Milan — the rooftop alone makes it a must-do!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Dear Daycha,
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the breathtaking rooftop views and that Marcella’s knowledge and engaging use of visuals made the history come alive.

nancy_c, Oct 2025
the guide was okay, she made us stand outside the Duomo in the sun while she shared history. Then we entered the fast pass lane. Since we stood outside for so long we only had a short time inside and didn't get to look around. She then took us to the line for the roof but just left us there and security was very hostile and informed us that we needed out guide to enter. They finally let us in but the tour was not worth it at all
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Nancy,
Thank you for your review.
We’re sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations. The guide should have balanced the time spent outside with enough time inside the Duomo, we will follow up on this internally. Regarding the rooftop entry, while guests are often allowed to continue independently, it’s important that instructions are made clear, and we regret any confusion caused at the security checkpoint.
We appreciate your feedback and hope future experiences in Milan are more enjoyable.
Best regards,

This was great, our guide Alexia was informative, which helped understand a little about the story of Milan & the cathedral. The roof top was just amazing. The architecture, the sculpting just beyond belief of what was achieved in that period

Hi Dorsey, thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour with Alexia and found the rooftop and architecture as breathtaking as we do. We'll be sure to share your kind words with her.

Knowledgeable guide with earpiece provided to ensure the small group could hear the entire time. The view from the roof is crowded, but the view was worth it. Great value!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hi James, thank you for the great feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and found both the guide and rooftop views worthwhile. It’s true the rooftop can get busy, but we're happy to hear it was still a highlight.

The tour and history was amazing, about an hour inside before going up to the rooftop. Even with the fast pass the rooftop was slow to get all the way around and up (there are stairs to get to the final upper level).
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hi Kelley, thank you for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and the historical insights. The rooftop is definitely worth the climb, even if it takes a bit of patience to reach the top. Thanks for highlighting the experience so clearly!

Our guide, Marcella, was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. I don’t usually write reviews but I have to after this fantastic experience. She took us around the highlights of the interior of the Duomo, after giving us a thorough summary of the history of its construction, statistics on number of statues/gargoyles/etc., and significance to not only Milan, but all of Europe. I learned a lot, while also having fun, and our guide made the experience very engaging. Once we finished with our interior tour, we were able to visit the rooftop terraces. The views, both of and from the roof, were breathtaking. Don’t miss this tour! This is my first time in Milan and this experience is unforgettable.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hi Caitlin, thank you so much for this incredible review! We're especially happy to hear that Marcella made such a lasting impression, she truly has a gift for bringing history to life. It means a lot that you took the time to write your first review after this experience.

Karina_B, Sep 2025
The guide provides only a tour inside the church and then dropped us off at the line for rooftop access. Once there, all of the rooftop tickets for our group trying to gain access were invalid. We called and eventually someone else in the group was able to connect with Crown Tours. They sent all the tickets to one person in the group and we were eventually permitted entrance, but not without a LOT of stress and security shuffling us off the entrance area. The security officers had never heard of the tour group and told us that there are many scams promising access. I thought the guide would provide insights on the actual rooftop tour, which it did not include. Also the guide told us that after the rooftop tour we could go back through the church at our leisure, which was also inaccurate. While we did eventually gain access to the roof, it was all very stressful, inconvenient and not the experience we paid for.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Dear Guest,
I’m very sorry for the stress and confusion you experienced. This is not the way the rooftop access should work. While I’m glad you eventually gained entry, I regret the inconvenience and inaccurate information you received along the way.
We will review this carefully with our team to ensure the process is smoother and that all details given by guides are precise.

Well run, great communication and fantastic guide. She was informative, kind and could speak multiple languages beautifully… the roof was really stunning - I’m pretty afraid of heights and it was worth it … you don’t have to look down … and I didn’t 🤪

This is a short tour of the Duomo that was just what we were looking for. Our excellent tour guide, Samantha, hit the highlights within the cathedral and provided a good set up for the rooftop portion. We did not linger on the various artistic aspects of the cathedral however - so not a tour for hard core art lovers. The rooftop is self-guided (so you don’t really know what you are looking at although the views of the city are amazing) and you can spend as much time there as you want. They are cleaning the spires so there is a lot of scaffolding on one side of the rooftop which spoils the view a bit. Overall a good two hour tour!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hi Jess, thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad the tour met your expectations and that Samantha provided a great overview of the Duomo before your rooftop visit. You're right, the rooftop portion is self-paced, and while the current restoration work may affect some views, we hope the breathtaking cityscape made up for it.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

The guy arrived 20 minutes late, when he did arrive he had his wife and baby with him along with a friend on a bicycle who started handing out the headphones with no announcement. The guide showed up with no visible sign that he was our guide; no company T-shirt, no umbrella, no nothing.
The guide was disheveled, looked unshaven, and also looked like he hadn’t had a shower in a couple of days. Three of the other couples waiting for him to show up question whether or not he was actually the guide when he did show up. I was not the only one who thought he looked awful.
When he finally did start talking, his English was so poor he was almost impossible to understand. His English improved, However, his use of words like something, thing, stuff, and yeah, made it clear he was not equipped for this tour.
The Duomo is a fantastic building, with one-of-a-kind architecture and artwork inside. Our guide seem to know some of these details, but was clearly not a professional tour guide. For example, he focused on one aspect of the front door that he knew a lot about, but made no other comments about the front façade of the cathedral.
His comments were so unhelpful. I actually took the earpiece out of my ear and got a guidebook instead. When we exited the cathedral, he told us we could go upstairs and see The Piazza from the top of the cathedral, but that he would not come up with us. This is different than it was suggested in the original booking. His directions on where the bathroom was we’re also so confusing that none of my party found the bathroom until after we came down from the rooftop, which obviously was not ideal!
Overall, this was absolutely the worst tour guide I have ever experienced in my many years as a traveler.
Would not recommend.
