Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Duomo di Milano, Piazza del Duomo, 20122 Milan Italy

Join us on this child-friendly tour of the Doumo in Milan for a wonderful 1.5-hours which will take you from floor level to the lofty heights of the Cathedral's roof.

Milan's splendid Duomo Cathedral is one of the largest in the world after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and the Siviglia Cathedral in Seville.

The tour starts at the entrance to the Duomo where the children will be fascinated by the magnificent central doorway which is carved with beautiful Gothic floral reliefs.

Stop At: Duomo di Milano, Piazza del Duomo, 20122 Milan Italy

It is almost impossible to adequately describe the inside of the Basilica, it has to be seen! Forty columns divide the internal space into five naves and light shines in from the fifty-five stained glass windows that were started in the 4th century but not completed until the 20th century.

This Gothic cathedral has everything; rare marble, "stories" painted on the colourful stained glass windows and the children will love to "spot the ugliest gargoyle"! There is so much to keep the children enthralled that 2-hours will pass very quickly in a perfect mix of education and fun.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Duomo Rooftops, Piazza del Duomo, 20122 Milan Italy

There is a lift to take you to the Duomo Terraces. As you walk the rooftop you can see the remarkable inter-twining of arches, flying buttresses (where rainwater is hidden), towering pinnacles and magnificent statues. At 4.16 metres high the golden statue of the Madonnina is the enduring Symbol of Milan; she looks over and protects the city.

Take a little time to sit and enjoy Milan's skyline.  From the Duomo rooftop you get the best view in the city of the ancient Duomo Square and Galleria which sit side by side in perfect harmony with the city's more modern skyscrapers.

Anna is an excellent and very knowledgable guide. She is very nice with kids. We enjoyed the tour, which is great - the cathedral is amazing.

Beautiful scenery, nice hiking areas, very safe, we did not see whales, but this is supposed to be the place to see them. You have to pay $10 to enter the park but worth every penny! Best things to do on San Juan Island.

We paid premium for this tour which was not a family friendly tour. Tour guide was nice but tour wasn’t aimed at kids or families. Our kids ranged in ages 9-15. We also couldn’t hear the tour guide who didn’t provide us with microphone. Would not recommend to another family. They also changed the time of our tour at the last minute which messed up our plans in Milan.

I was delighted to know about a family-friendly tour to the Duomo.
We met our tour guide, Katia, who was extremely friendly. She greeted my daughter with small gifts that excited her through the tour. The Duomo is extremely interesting and there are so many details but Katia managed to show us all highlights. Part of the tour is to visit the roof, which I highly recommend. On the roof, Katia gave us a lot of interesting information about Milan too.

Overall, the tour was very interesting and organized. And our tour guide Katia was patient, friendly and knowledgeable.
