Our guide did a wonderful job explaining the rich history of Milan and the Sforza Castle. Her vivid storytelling left nothing to question and we left with an amazing understanding of the importance of the site.
Seeing the last Pieta--excellent guide and interesting history at Sforza CastlelisarQ6899XC
Oct 10, 2026, 11:19:10 AM Enjoyed the tour. The real reason to go is to see Michelango's last Pieta--but the castle and it's history are also interesting. Fabio was the guide--he was well-informed and engaging. I did think the tour was pricey at $145. Guide was at meeting point under the clock as promised--however, I booked with Trip Advisor, the tour was conducted by Milan Elegance and the guide had a flag with a different ID, so I thought that could have been made more clear.
I have a great experience today.
The guide gave us a lot of interesting details!
She tell us the entire history of the castel and of their owners in time.
