I'm glad I booked the Fast-Track Milan Cathedral and Terraces Guided Tour. Our meeting point was very easy to find, security check was smooth, and literally went inside with no waiting time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and super sweet. At the end of the tour, we were left on our own to explore the rooftop and it was beautiful! On our way up there, we had access to the elevator and had a short climb. On our way back down, we took the stairs but it was not as bad as I thought.

This was an excellent tour for two of us ably led by Catio. We enjoyed learning so much about the history of the building and of course the religious aspects. The archaeological visit under the building presented a good appreciation of what had been before. We concluded the tour with a trip to the roof via escalator and some stairs. Wonderful!

My friend and I arrived to late to take the tour with the group. However, they saved our tickets and we were easily able to see the same sites with the special entrance admission. It was such a relief to immediately find helpful and knowledgeable ppl at the check-in desk.

The Duomo is beyond explanation; needs to be seen in person. Fast-tracking to the rooftop is the way to go. The architecture of the rooftop is breathtaking. Our guide (sorry, I don't remember her name) was very nice and so informative. However, when the group moved from place to place, it was sometimes difficult to see what direction she went (a lot of people) -- I would suggest the guides carry something bright and hold it up to help the group follow.

Meeting point was very easy to find, security check was smooth, and literally went inside with no waiting time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and super sweet. At the end of the tour, we got to skip the line for the rooftop! On our way up there, we had access to the elevator and had a short climb, before being rewarded with a really nice view! On our way back down, we took the stairs but it was not as bad as I thought. Too bad the rooftop of the Duomo was under renovations when we were there (August 2022)

Giulia was a wonderful guide. She was detailed and thorough in all of her explanations and descriptions of the Duomo; Features, characteristics, and history of the Duomo! What a magnificent church! We are so happy we got a chance to see it with such a wonderful guide.

The guided tour was excellent and worth the money. Despite being a busy area of Milan we were able to find our meeting point quickly and easily, then the guide made sure the party was kept together throughout. The Duomo “Milan Cathedral and Terraces Guided Tour” is stunning, and having the expertise and knowledgeable guide made it even better. The walk across the Terraces is well worth it, the views across Milan out amazing and you can see the fine detail and effort made building the Duomo.

This tour is worth every penny spent on it. 90 minutes packed with information and unforgettable experience. Also, time saver - we did not have to wait a single minute to enter the duomo, or the archeological site, or going up to the terrace. Our tour guide was fantastic, narrative filled with both information and attitude. That is undoubtedly the best way to visit the duomo.

Excellent experience and must do in Milan. The history of Duomo and the way our guide explained was very interesting. Only thing is the meeting point location should change since it is now near the tickets booth. Infoarea is different and I thought I almost missed it though I came half an hour early.

Very nice and a lot of information given by the guide. We are glad we took it so we can understand all the different things that we were seen. Also going to the terrace was great to see the city from above as well as all the intricate construction and gargoyles that surround the building. With the guide we got a fast pass to the elevators to get to the top. Going down was fun but narrow passage. You could take elevator down but you had to wait in line. It is always easy to go down than up the stairs. It is worth the price plus you get a very nice explanation of the cathedral as well as the sculptures in the area. Saint Bartholomew sculpture is very impressive with details as well as the story given by the guide. We took pictures of everything as the cathedral is one of the biggest and it shows. Close to shopping, if you are into high end merchandise, and the food was exquisite no matter where you go
