Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"This is the first time I used Withlocals and I highly recommend their experiences! Having Caterina as our guide, giving us the tour of the Duomo on Good Friday was probably the highlight of our 10 day trip to Europe. And she went above and beyond to help my daughter who is studying in Milan for the semester. I felt like she was my new best friend after our tour! Her love for her native city Milan is infectious and obvious….. A unique experience that we will treasure forever. "
"Omar, friendly, knowledgeable, professional,philosophical, amusing . Our tour of Il Duomo and its roof was fascinating and beyond our expectations. "
"We had a great time, felt like we were having a leisurely walk with a friend. Aranna gave us a good introduction to the city, Highly recommended. "
"Laura was a wonderful guide for our visit to the Duomo in Milan. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and engaging, helping our 10 year old daughter to understand the history and the magic of the Duomo (us too!). It is not only a beautiful building full of history, but also unique in its access to the Terraces on the roof top. The weather did not cooperate (cloudy, cold, and rainy) for a view from the Terraces, but the Duomo and Laura's tour were great. Thank you so much Laura."

"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!"
"Laura was a wonderful tour guide of the Duomo. Her insight and historical knowledge took our tour to another level. Highly recommend! "
"Laura is an amazing tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about history. We loved her energy!!!"
"We had a private tour of the Duomo Terraces and Cathedral. Omar was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing the history and even more fascinating the Milanese meanings of the Duomo and its complex place in Milan and Italy. His enthusiasm and obvious love for the city, art, beauty, architecture and spirit made for an unforgettable experience. Next time we're in Milan, we'll take a tour w Omar again! "
"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."
"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. "
