About this activity
Meet your guide in front of the immense Gothic Duomo, taking time to admire its facade, statues, and more than 100 gargoyles. Then, pass the lines and head right for the entrance.
Stroll through the interior while your guide tells you about the cathedral’s 50 stained-glass windows, thousands of statues, and many works of art.
Then, head down the marble staircase to an underground crypt where a 16th-century archbishop is buried. If you’re taking this tour on a weekend, take two hours of free time to explore Milan on your own before re-entering the cathedral. Otherwise, head for the lift to the rooftop.
Once you’re up there, take advantage of the views by snapping panoramic photos of the city. Your guide takes you closer to the statues, spires, and gargoyles, and tells you more about the cathedral's history.
Afterward, head back down to ground-level for the end of your tour.

We were a few minutes late and instead of everyone else waiting and us holding up the tour, they started but Alex was waiting for us and led us to where our group was! Charles our guide... was EXCEPTIONAL!! He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, funny and he made it better than expected!
Amazing views from the rooftop! Christopher was an excellent tour guide: very knowledgeable and funny, making the tour very enjoyable.
This guided tour is a must to appreciate the Duomo. Christina was very well-versed on the Duomo, very friendly and affable. The rooftop construction which cut off half of the roof was a disappointment.
great to be able to skip the line, tour guide very knowledgeable. difficult to find the meeting location -- there are 2 Beneton stores in the Duomo complex area, would recommend tour
We were exhausted after our long flights to Milan from America, however, Christine’s tour of the Duomo made us feel nothing but joy and excitement! She was passionate about her city, knowledge, and a pleasure to spend the morning with!
Tour guide would start talking as she would walk ahead, and not have her microphone attached, once advised of the issue, she would not repeat the last 5 minutes of what everyone had missed. This would occur regularly throughout the tour. Could have been a much better experience. Tour guide would race ahead and point out to different landmarks throughout Milan or at particular statues and if you were not directly in her presence (first 5 people) in the group of 30 you would have no idea what you missed. There is much detail in the Duomo that you will never get to see as it is always under maintenance.
David was a great tour guide, showing us many interesting parts of the Duomo, then taking us up on the roof. Interesting and fun, it was a great way to wind up our 4-day trip to Milan!
Easy to book, well organised, good guide. Knowledgeable and clear even spoken with a bit of Italian assent..I am sure she has more info to tell if given more time.
We were lucky to be the only 2 with the guide for the Duomo tour right at opening. What a great experience. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of good interesting information. Inside was spectacular and it got even better on the rooftop. Thank goodness the lift took us up most of the way and then a few steps up to the top. Wow, that's all I can say. Worth doing. Don't skip the rooftop!!
It was amazing with so friendly guide , really it is skip the line we don’t have to wait and our guide was so excellent
Charles was an amazing tour guide! Educational but cheeky and fun at the same time. I would highly recommend this tour and Charles as a tour guide!
Looking at the queue outside Duomo and Rooftop lift, I felt so great that I could skip the line and made good use of my last day in Milan. Having Serina (hope that I spell her name correctly) as my tour guide, she provided us lots of history about Duomo, especially she showed us different status with stories telling and the crafts along the rooftop (tennis and boxing, sun and moon I remember most). She brought us to the best angel for seeing this magnificent structure and shared her stories to us too, she’s friendly with sense of humour. Thank you very much! But I would like to separate two tours into two days so that I would spend longer inside Duomo, the third biggest cathedral in the world. It’s really sophisticatedly built with knowledge from ancient world. What an incredible architecture!
Chiara brought the history and the importance of this Duomo to life! Both the inside and rooftop are breathtaking to see, and the history behind it all, as well as the little quirks and small things you may miss, made the tour amazing. Tour guide was smart, funny and gave us a few more sights to see in our short stay in Milan. An amazing experience, would highly recommend.
The Duomo on its was great. We had to wait in lines on both the skip the lines so the tour was just ok. Our guide was just ok , she didn't seem very interested
An informative tour. Skipping the line would alone make the tour worthwhile
The tour guide was knowledgeable but the tour combo was not coordinated well
This was a super experience with a VERY well trained guide who was able to get us through the Duomo in a timely fashion, even the day before the new Archbishop of Milan was to be inducted i.e., it was VERY crowded. I highly recommend this tour and really appreciated the teamwork this tour company showed to ensure everyone had an enjoyable experience and the ease of finding the tour operator while in the busy Duomo square.
