    Amazing experience at the Duomo

    "Armando is an amazing guide. He is so knowledgeable about the Duomo, the history and the stories surrounding all the details that I’m sure we otherwise would have missed. Some examples include, the significance of the spires, the significance of the doors, and the relationship of the stained glass to the Bible. This is just a short snippet of the many other stories he shared! On top of the deep history, he also shared the various cultural references. Related to Austria, France and the North and South of Italy. Honestly, it was such an engaging conversation, the time went by so fast! Besides such a great guide, he was patient with my family in the heat. He was considerate of finding shade, and was forgiving when attention spans wavered. Rather than just going on, he engaged in fun trivia and pulled my teenagers back into the moment. Truly a professional and personable guide! Overall, a fantastic guide and would highly recommend him!"

    absolutely incredible

    "Our tour of the Milan Cathedral with Caterina was absolutely incredible. We thought we were just getting a normal tour… instead we got history, comedy, architecture, drama, and about 400 years of gossip all rolled into one. Caterina brought the cathedral to life in a way that made us feel like we were starring in our own Italian documentary. Every statue had a story, every detail had meaning, and somehow she made centuries-old marble feel more exciting than Netflix. Her energy was amazing, her knowledge was next level, and she kept us laughing the entire time. At one point we were so locked into the stories we forgot we were standing inside one of the most famous cathedrals in the world. You can tell she genuinely loves Milan and loves sharing it with people. If you’re visiting the cathedral and don’t tour it with Caterina, you’re basically watching the movie without sound. Absolute legend."

    Laura Serena the best guide in Milan,

    "Laura brought the Duomo alive with her passionate descriptions. There was so much to take in and Laura was the perfect person to guide us through every corner of the Duomo. We also learned soo much about the history of Milan and Italy during the tour. Laura has the ability to make even the smallest details fascinating and interesting. We can’t thank her enough for giving us a wonderful afternoon. The first person we will contact next time when we are in Milan is Laura Serena. We go."
