Using Viator for choosing activities during was a good experience. Purchasing tickets through Viator was an easy process. Being able to add tickets to Apple Wallet made things simpler because everything is one location. I would use Viator for future travel.

You can't visit Milan and not visit the Duomo. I recommend investing in a guided tour so you can skip the line, know where to go, and understand the significance of this outstanding cathedral. My guide, Simone, was knowledgeable and friendly. The day of our tour was cold, rainy, and dreary but Simone remained positive and upbeat, which helped the mood of the group. The Duomo is as stunning on the inside as it is on the outside. The rooftop is a highlight, despite the rain and dreary sky. If you only have one day to spend in Milan, come here!

This was the most incredible place I have ever seen. I would highly recommend the afternoon tour so you can see the sunset at the rooftop. Magical, romantic, astonishing…no words can describe it. Our tour guide was excellent and we had headphones to hear her amongst the crowds. Be sure to arrive 15 min early as instructed- it takes time to check in everyone and crowds in the area are large. Thank you to our incredible tour guide who provided me her cell phone charging power bank 🙏 The one I had purchased with a “full bank” was not charged at all and I was traveling solo as a female so I need my phone for navigation to get back home. She really saved the day. I am grateful to her! At the end of the tour we could continue exploring so I participated in Mass and it brought tears to my eyes. Monks chanting, incense burning, sacred and powerful. This memory will be with me for a lifetime! I’m in awe!

It’s always good to join the tour company to visit the Duamo and the roof top. Because it’s was clearly explained by the guide and really slip the lines. Otherwise we may have to wait a n long queue and many things we may the know.

What a wonderful experience this was. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. The Duomo is a truly beautiful magnificent building. Having the opportunity to visit the rooftops was amazing and gives you a fabulous view of Milan. It was also great to see the architecture close up and how the restoration is completed.
