Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had the best time with Omar visiting the Duomo in Milan. He was professional, kind funny and so full of knowledge. His English was excellent and he was a pleasure to be around. 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."
"Very knowledgeable and well spoken. "
"We had an amazing time touring the Duomo with Caterina, even in the midst of a torrential downpour! She took us up to the top, umbrellas in tow, and also gave us a great tour of the inside. Her English was amazing and we learned a lot. She also has a great sense of humor so it was really fun despite all 3 of us being soaked. We highly recommend Caterina for both a fun and informative 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. "
"Omar provided my daughter and I with an outstanding personalized tour of the Duomo in Milano. He brought his personal experiences, knowledge, and insights into a tour of an absolutely stunning structure. I highly recommended private tours that allow you to skip the line. It’s saves your precious vacation time and takes the stress out of the process of visiting the Duomo. In addition a private tour with Omar will provide you with education on the Duomo from a unique perspective. Thus tour included visiting the terraces if the Duomo allowing one to physically walk on the roof of the Duomo, see a view of the city, and view these beautiful and magical terraces up close, a not to be missed opportunity.
