The staff member who led the tour was very friendly. However, it wasn't that easy to find the meeting point (several people had trouble with it).

The trip was organized pretty good. The whole group have met at the meeting point. We didn't have to wait in the line. The view from the rooftop was outstanding. Our Guide was also outstanding. Me and my wife are very, very glad.

Our guide was knowledgeable. She told us information outside the cathedral as well as inside. It was convenient to skip the long line to get inside with her.

The Duomo is incredible and has so many stories to tell. This is a must see in Milan. Our guide was so knowledgeable and easily communicated the history and facts of the Duomo, along with wonderful stories. Visited on a hot day, but in the morning, still being on the terraces is well worth the heat for spectacular views and a close up of the intricate skulpting of the spires.
