Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We loved our Duomo tour with Caterina. She was fun to be with, energetic, and full of information. It was like being taken around by a close friend. Recommend!"
"We had an exceptional experience with Caterina providing a private and professional tour of the Duomo."
"My wife and I really enjoyed our time with Caterina exploring the Duomo. She made the history easy to follow, shared some great stories, and kept everything relaxed and fun despite the crowds. The views from the terrace were incredible, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. I’d definitely recommend booking this experience with Caterina."
"Laura is an amazing tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about history. We loved her energy!!!"
"My walking tour with Salvatore was great. Covered off the modern architecture followed by the old history and then to the canals area utilizing trams and the metro to speed transit up and fit more in. Salvatore’s communication with me prior to the tour was excellent and he even met me at my hotel. Highly recommend. "

He made me want to know more and more about the Duomo and Milan the city he loves. One of my favorite parts of our trip!"
"Caterina was a great host and knew all about the Duomo, communication leading to the tour was timely. We got some helpful hints on places to visit and see. Answered all my our questions and lots of information about the Duomo which I did not already know. Thanks for the tour."
"First of all, the Duomo is fantastic, and well worth the visit. We booked two tours with Omar -- the Duomo and also the Highlights and Hidden Gems. Omar is from Milan and an experienced guide. He was wonderful, and really made the Duomo -- which is amazing -- come to life. He knows the city like the back of his hand and was able to show us some wonderful things and really give us a feeling for their history and how they were used. We had my wife and mother-in-law for the Duomo part of things, and he was careful to make sure that my mother-in-law was OK with all the climbing. Omar is warm and funny and knowledgeable. Highly recommended."
"We had the best experience touring the Duomo with Omar. His knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for the history and building was first class. We thoroughly enjoyed all the information he was able to share. Highly recommend- one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. "
