We had an absolutely amazing time. The tour guide was very flexible and we were able to go at our own pace, see what we wanted to see and call it a day when we were tired. She was very knowledgeable and we really learnt a great deal about the history of Milan. Not to mention the delicious pizza restaurant we went to!

Tiziana was so great. She was knowledgeable and personable, and made you feel like you were getting a true insider’s look at the Duomo. She walked us through the story and the creation of the Duomo, the architectural significance of the building’s features, and explained it’s importance in the religious, political, and historical landscape of Milan and Italy as a whole. Would highly recommend the tour, it was well worth it for us.
