Best tour of all in Milan! My kids said the rooftop made it all worth it! The view is incredible! Just don't do it without proper wind gear or if you have any fear of heights. You can see the skyline of Milan and the Alps! Definitely a must do if you go to the Duomo.

Very easy to manage through the viator app. Nice that it can be cancelled/changed at the last moment. Great that you can book but pay only a few days before. Good tour guide. Rooftop is awesome. Did it with kids for a cultural experience.

Itinerary

After meeting your knowledgeable guide in front of the Duomo, Milan's immense and extravagant Gothic cathedral, learn about the history of the church, taking some time to study the facade of the sacred structure, including the statues and wicked gargoyles.

Head toward the entrance to the cathedral, going right past that long line and entering the building, thanks to the skip-the-line ticket. Stroll through the interior with your guide, learning about the overlooked nooks and corners of the building and hearing about some of the incredible artwork that's inside. Admire the 50 incredible stained glass windows, as well as the sculptures and paintings.

After, come up to ground level again and exit the church. If you've chosen this tour on the weekend, take some free time to see more of Milan on your own or tuck into a nice meal at a local restaurant. Or, if you've taken this on a weekday, commence the rooftop tour immediately.

Go back inside the cathedral with your skip-the-line ticket and then ride in the lift up to the Duomo's terrace

Once on the rooftop, take in the amazing views of the city, getting close-up sights of the statues, spires, and gargoyles. Take a moment to listen to your guide regale you with more history of the cathedral.

After spending some time up on the roof and admiring the views, head back down to ground level, as your tour is finished.

Upgrade: Hop on Hop off 2 days ticket:

Tour Guide Eddie was brilliant!

Sheri_S, May 2026

Our tour guide, Eddie, was fantastic! Knowledgable, funny and helpful. It was madness out on the Piazza that day due to a concert, but Eddie was brilliant in helping our group navigate.

Milan Duomo Rooftop Tour

PatriciaA_P, May 2026

This is a terrific tour. Our tour guide was excellent, (As with all of our tours in Italy, the earbuds could work better… For the money we spend it should be flawless in this day and age). Climbing to the rooftops was fabulous, looking down on the Piazza and Milan‘s landscape was unbeatable. Inside the Domo was also amazing, glad we saw it. I would recommend this tour to anyone. (anyone that can walk and climb stairs, it is not for anyone that has trouble with heights or walking upstairs.).

Wonderful afternoon at the Duomo

Thomas_G, May 2026

This was a wonderful experience, our guide Marta was outstanding and shared great information with a fine sense of humor throughout. I highly recommend this tour!

Go! Just go!

John_F, May 2026

The Duomo was spectacular, this gave us an up close view of the inside as well as the rooftop with incredible views of the countless works of art and the city skyline! This is a must do for anyone visiting Milan. Our tour guide (sorry, i forgot her name) was authentic, extremely knowledgeable and over the top funny!

Disorganized and somewhat detached.

James_C, May 2026

The beginning of the experience was bad. Totally disorganized. The weather was cold and rainy. Of course this is not the fault of the tour operator but due to their disorganization we stood out in the cold and rain for more than 30 minutes. We could see the guide was frustrated too. Unfortunately, this made for a very rough start. The guide was rushing which meant he started walking and our devices weren't working and then he would walk ahead to try to make up for lost time. It did improve as the second half of the tour progressed but the damage was done and most of the group was rather unhappy. In the end it wasnt the worst tour experience ever but it was not enjoyable. The rain had a dampening effect for sure but the tour was sub par. The guide was knowledgable but that wasn't enough to get past 3 stars. I think I would have given it 2.5 if their were half star ratings.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear James, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely appreciate your honesty, as it helps us understand where we can improve, especially when operating under challenging weather conditions. We are truly sorry that you had to wait in the cold and rain. To ensure everything runs smoothly, our policy states that the meeting time is always scheduled 15 minutes before the actual departure. This buffer is essential to check in all guests, distribute audio equipment, and ensure the tour can start exactly on time. Our tours must depart punctually because we operate on strict, non-negotiable entry time slots managed by the venue. While we appreciate guests being enthusiastic, arriving earlier than the designated meeting time is a personal choice, and our staff begins the check-in process at the official scheduled time. Regarding the audio equipment, we always conduct a thorough sound check at the very beginning of the experience. Our guides are trained to immediately replace any device that is not working correctly, provided the issue is brought to their attention at that moment. We are glad to hear that the guide's extensive knowledge showed through and that the second half of the tour improved significantly. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on a clearer day to provide the seamless experience we always strive to deliver. Best regards, Davide

Poor communication and we missed our whole tour and did not get any refund

Kimberly_C, May 2026

The tour operator sent us a ‎WhatsApp the night before our tour was supposed to happen and told us there would be an earlier start of 30 minutes. We did not get the message until the day of the tou r and we arrived on time to find nobody there. Despite multiple phone calls and emails to the tour operator, they escorted us up to the Duomo, but we did not get our tour and they did not give us any refund. We do not check ‎WhatsApp I regularly and they did not even try to call us when we did not reply that we got their message on WhatsApp. We’ve always had a tour operator call if there is any update on the tour.Don’t recommend.m this tour..

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear KImberly, Thank you for your feedback. We always strive to provide a seamless experience for our guests, and we would like to clarify the circumstances surrounding your tour to ensure an accurate account of what occurred. First, we would like to clarify that the tour start time was adjusted by only 15 minutes, not 30. This minor adjustment was necessary due to an last-minute early entry slot communicated to us. However, regardless of this update, your original booking explicitly stated a meeting time of 9:45 AM for a 10:00 AM departure. According to our records, we received a WhatsApp message from you at 9:57 AM stating: "Hello, I’m sorry we are running five minutes late for the dual motor tour however we are on our way!" By your own admission, you were running late and did not arrive at the meeting point by the required 9:45 AM arrival time, nor did you arrive by the original 10:00 AM start time. Because our tours operate on strict entry time slots managed by the Duomo, the group had to proceed so as not to forfeit entry for all other paying guests. Despite your late arrival, our team did not abandon you; we actively assisted you and escorted you up to the Duomo so you would not lose your tickets entirely. Best regards, Davide

Excellent Tour

Debra_A, May 2026

The guide was amazing and very informative! We learned so much! It was a bit rainy that day but she made it entertaining and fun!!

The entrance is without...

ANDRES_P, May 2026

The entrance is without lines directly to the elevator that takes you to the top of the terrace. You have to climb around 90 extra steps to the top of the last terrace. After that you have to take the stairs down to the church where the visit continues.

Milan Duomo

Good experience . Our tour agent was very good . She took her time to explain everything and made it very funny and lively

Best tour, highly recommend

Melissa_P, May 2026

Chiara provided an excellent experience touring the Duomo and rooftop. Her history, personality and knowledge made the tour an unforgettable time.

Milano skip the line Duomo and roof top access.

Nancy_F, May 2026

The person with whom we had to check In did not have a colored sign that was visible for checking in. The audio was not very good on the ear pieces . For some reason we were unable to walk around both interior sides of the Duomo. I do not recommend this tour. I recommend doing your own research on the Duomo, and buying your own tickets for early morning during the week. The star climb is not difficult.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Nancy, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear that your experience at the Duomo did not meet your expectations. Regarding the check-in process, we would like to clarify that our coordinator always holds a very visible sign clearly displaying the name of the tour to help guests identify the meeting point. We are sorry if you had trouble locating them on this occasion. Regarding the audio quality, our guides are instructed to perform an audio check at the very beginning of every tour. We always carry spare units, and had the issue been reported to the guide immediately, they would have been able to replace your device on the spot to ensure you didn't miss any information. As for the restricted access inside the Cathedral, please note that as an active place of worship, certain areas may be closed by the authorities for religious services or maintenance, which is beyond our control. Finally, we would like to highlight that by booking this tour, you benefited from priority access, skipping the long lines at the ticket office and using the dedicated group lane, which is much faster than the individual entrance. Our tour also includes access to the terraces by elevator for a more comfortable experience. Best regards, Davide

Michael_J, May 2026

Tour lasted about 2 hours. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was quite funny as well keeping everyone on their toes. She told us some very interesting stories about statues, etc. inside the church. The rooftop portion was very interesting and some of the views were fantastic. There are a lot of statues, heads, gargoyles etc. up there as well. Worth it!!

Worth It!

Mia_C, May 2026

Informative tour and the skip-the-line was well worth it! Our guide Simone was knowledgeable, answered all questions and had a warming personality. Favorite tour so far

Missed the experience

Selena_E, May 2026

We could not find the coffee shop to meet the tour group in time. So we did not get to go on this experience. Very disappointed!

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Selena, We are very sorry to hear that you were unable to locate the meeting point in time to join the tour. We understand how disappointing it is to miss out on the experience. As our tours operate on a strict schedule to respect the time of all participants, the group must depart at the designated hour. Please note that the meeting point details were provided in your booking voucher; furthermore, our team is always available for immediate assistance via phone, WhatsApp, and email to help guests find their way before the tour starts. Because we did not receive a request for help prior to departure, we are unable to offer a refund, as this instance is classified as a "No-Show" per our company policy. We truly regret that you were unable to join us this time. Best regards, Davide

Claire_K, May 2026

This tour is not to be missed! The tour of the inside of the cathedral was stunning, but even better is the roof tour with the statues of saints on top of the many spires. Stunning!

Well worth it

Marek_J, May 2026

It is a nice, informative tour. It could be demanding in summer. The rooftop of the Duomo was pretty hot even in the beginning of May.

Awesome Experience

Karyn_G, May 2026

We enjoyed our tour of the Duomo with our guide Elena. She had a wealth of knowledge to share with us. We especially enjoyed the rooftop tour. We were amazed how high we actually climbed and were awed by the views. Elena did a great job organizing the tour and navigating the amount of people o the roof and inside the church. We highly recommend this tour.
