Very impressive. Guide was very knowledgeable. Shared stories about the Last Supper and each of the 12 disciples.

The meetup area was clear, making it was easy to find the guide before the tour. The tour organizer also explained how the tickets worked (adult tickets were just one piece of paper/QR code; children had separate tickets for the church and the rooftop). Note that adult tickets are also good for entry to the museum, but children tickets are not-- that wasn't clear ahead of time, and only after I asked the tour operator onsite did she explain it. The tour itself was decent but pretty basic and seemed a little rushed, it went a little shorter than advertised (40-45'). We were able to go right in, and afterward there was no line whatsoever for the lift to the roof. The cathedral and the views from rooftop are incredible.

Italy is super hot in June. Recommend the LIFT to the top. Lots of stairs. Remember u need to keep shoulders covered when entering the Cathedral. Wonderful history and exquisite stained glass windows!

Worth it and not worth it.
Worth it for us due to time constraints we had. Knowing that we had it planned and able to see it all gave me piece of mind. Our daughter had a travel conflict so we had 1 afternoon to see both Duomo and Last supper. The guide was great. He had pictures and stories that explained the interior- you do rooftop on your own. It was towards the end of the day and he knew one area would be shut down soon so he made sure to get us there to see it. The stain glass art was beautiful. Side note- I highly recommend you take elevator up to top.
But all of this comes at a premium price: we paid about $80 a person and you can get interior and rooftop tickets for 30 online. So if you have the time, I would purchase on own and follow along with Rick Steves guide. Almost everything in Rick Steves walking guide was mentioned by our guide.

If you can get tickets to the roof and the church don’t do this. Guide’s English barely legible. The headphones given were full of static. Only do if it is last minute. You do skip the line
Kirti_M, Jun 2026
Great tour, mostly at our own pace which made it nicer. Would recommend for jumping queues and access to the rooftop. The museum was interesting too.
Annette_H, Jun 2026
Knowledgeable tour guide with a sense of humor! Viator tours are a well-oiled machine. Good experience!
Michelle_W, Jun 2026
Everything ran smoothly. Met at meeting point with no problem. Great guide. We enjoyed getting an introductory tour and was great for us.
Christopher_D, May 2026
The guide was good and knowledgeable
Wasn’t happy with the standing. In line with everyone else part You pay for the skip the line you should get skip the line

Guide was knowledgeable and fun.
Loved the high points he touched on. He was fun to spend an hour with!
Iga_C, May 2026
Future travelers think twice!
Main complaint is the “guided” tour was guided for 15-2mins vs. what’s advertised.
Balance of tour was self guided.
Secondly just buy the tickets yourself once at Duomo. $26 euro combo with rooftop lift vs. the +$70 here for basic google info.

The cathedral was beautiful inside and out. The rooftop was the best! Weather was perfect to enjoy the sunshine on the rooftop. Took the lift up, and the stairs down. Able to visit the museum which we didn’t expect, statues were amazing.
Ali_R, May 2026
Unfortunately our tour of the Duomo and rooftop was quite a poor experience. This was not down to the guide, Roberto, who was clearly very knowledgeable. We could sense Roberto’s frustration when at every point of the tour he was told to move on as the Duomo was going to close! He was cut short right at the start when he attempted to describe the outside of the Duomo to us but was asked to move us on inside. We then did a whistle stop tour with no time to explore inside the Duomo on our own as was promised. We were then just told ‘the stairs are round the corner’ for doing the rooftop part of the ‘tour’. No ‘tour’ involved in this part, it is just go yourself! We do not feel we received the promised tour and it was definitely not value for money. The tour operator should not have booked a tour at that time if the Duomo was going to close so soon after the start of the tour as they could not deliver what was promised. I am trying to work out how to submit a complaint on Viator but it appears almost impossible to do so!
Monica_H, May 2026
They were very accommodating and helpful and the tour was fantastic! We would highly recommend this tour!
Keyth_B, May 2026
It's not worth the money you get the minimalist guided tour. You cant eve hear the guide for most of it because the receivers and ear pieces are so terrible. He's been most of the time waiting and maybe 20 minutes of guided tour. You're better off just buying the tickets by yourself and doing the audio tour it's cheaper and get way more out of it. Also the to get to the elevator is not skip the line and you get no guided tour on the rooftop you're on your own.
Lisa_H, May 2026
Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. I love when they point out things that you would just pass by and not even notice. Rooftop gave us a great view of the city, but be warned that the spires block some view and if you go on a warm day, it is VERY warm up there.
Linda_S, May 2026
Very informative! A good experience! It was well worth it. The tour guide we had was excellent and interesting.
Laxman_K, May 2026
That Viator is a genuine company,the guide Mariouse was superb very friendly,very knowledgeable,cheers
Anne_C, Apr 2026
We were given the wrong time, could not find the Guide and as a consequence had far too little time in the Museum. There were too many people on the tour so we could not hear or see the Guide, nor have access to all the information he was showing on his IPad.
When the Guide was told we could not hear him and was asked to speak more slowly, he failed to do so. The reception over the headphones was extremely poor and the Guide did not appear to be trying to speak clearly into his microphone.
Sharon_B, Apr 2026
Our guide was really good and very knowledgeable. What let the tour down was the audio headset which was terrible and everyone in the group couldn't hear him as there was a lot of interference. That part was disappointing.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Sharon,
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re very glad to hear that you appreciated the guide and their knowledge—that’s something we truly care about.
We’re sorry, however, to hear about the issue with the audio headsets. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide. Interference can occasionally happen in busy areas, but we understand how important clear audio is for fully enjoying the experience.
We will review this with our team to ensure the equipment is properly checked and to minimize the chances of this happening again.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention—we truly appreciate it.
Kind regards,
Davide

Amazing tour. My 8 and 14 year old also loved it. Daniella was fantastic! So knowledgeable and engaging! Highly recommend!!
Dawn_H, Apr 2026
Wasn’t guided the entire time. Just inside the duomo. Also the ticket to the roof access is timed and you don’t choose the time.
Daniela_B, Mar 2026
I booked the tour for 10am. When i choosed the options, i have not choosen museum but at the end it seems all was included (not clear when booking). On the day, guy appeard with ticket for Duomo+Museum, saying the guide would be there at 11am.
It ended up i did the duomo tour without the guide tour.
Patrice_G, Mar 2026
Great tour and explanation inside the Duomo and very interesting visiting the rooftop. Note it was probably at least 125-150 steps to walk up to the rooftop
Maura_S, Mar 2026
Wonderful information about the Duomo. Windy but beautiful views of Milan from the top. Highly recommend the small group tour.
Robyn_R, Mar 2026
Great tour! Roof top was fantastic! Better to do this activity at sun down, as the views are amazing!
natalie_b, Feb 2026
He kept us up to date with schedule changes. Very knowledgeable about the duomo. Shared legends about many builders and symbols of the duomo.
Elaine_F, Dec 2025
The cathedral is amazing and the tour of the roof tops was worth every penny. However the tour guide was an hour late, he contacted us by what's app after we contacted the office asking where our guide was. He sent our tickets and asked us to walk round the museum first and he would meet us later. His guided tour of the Duomo lasted 36 minutes.... if I'm honest I'm not to sure paying for a guide was really worth it. This is the first time we have felt let down with a viator booking.
Corrado_P, Dec 2025
Tour guide took us through the history and the important things to look for. He walked and talked for half an hour. Then we have our own time to navigate through the catheral and the rooftop.
Angeline_G, Dec 2025
The guided tour was only in the cathedral and there were many paintings put up that were not explained to us. Overall, there was not much explanation given about the significance of the sculptures and why there were so many of them. Guided tour was only 15-20min. The rest of the time was spent on our own visiting the museum and the Rooftop.
