I enjoyed the tour. It was interesting and the views from the terraces was great. Our guide was good, We did have a few technical difficulties with his microphone that was provided to him by the ticket office. This is a must do for a visit to Milan

Fantastic Private Tour of Milan Cathedral & Terraces My husband Paul and I booked the Fast-Track Milan Cathedral and Terraces Guided Tour and opted to pay extra for a private tour — and it was worth every penny. Our tour guide, a fabulous lady, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the cathedral. She made the experience engaging and didn’t mind us asking questions throughout. Skipping the long queue was a huge bonus, allowing us to make the most of our time. The rooftop was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking architecture and panoramic views of Milan. Even my husband, who’s afraid of heights, managed to enjoy the terrace thanks to the guide’s calm and reassuring manner — he admitted he would have skipped it if we hadn’t been on the tour! We also explored the fascinating area beneath the cathedral, including the ruins of the old church and museum — a real hidden gem and rich with history. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Milan. It’s a fantastic wa
