The guided tour starts in Piazza Duomo, where you can admire the unique and beautiful gothic architecture of the biggest church in Italy that took 6 centuries to be completed.
The Duomo of Milan is the largest church in Italy and the fourth largest in the world, with a capacity of up to 40,000 people. In the 1930s a special law was introduced in Milan (it wasn’t respected later on...) for which no buildings could have been higher than the highest point of Duomo. With pre-booked and guaranteed skip-the-line tickets, you will enter immediately the Duomo rooftop terrace by elevator to have a panoramic 360-degree view of Milan. After that, you will enter the Duomo Cathedral and your private guide will help you to explore the underground archeological area beneath Duomo & the museum of Duomo. Its rooftops host something like 3400 statues and they are not all are saints or angels. For example, you can admire the statue of the boxer Primo Carnera (world heavyweight boxing champion in 1930s – he was the first Italian ever to gain this title), the statue of the pigeon, one of a tennis racquet, and the Statue of Liberty (the myth says it inspired New York’s one!).
During this tour you will the Duomo rooftop terrace by elevator to have a panoramic 360-degree view of Milan together with your private guide.
Your private expert guide will accompany you through Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, named after the first King of Italy. Constructed in 19th century, the Galleria was built on the initiative of the king with the purpose to represent the modernization of Milan and connect La Scala & Piazza Duomo, the most important landmarks of that time. Now it is a grand display of many beautiful of high-end fashion boutiques & famous restaurants, all inside an enormous decorated glass roof of the Galleria.
After Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, your knowledgeable guide will bring you to Piazza della Scala, where you will observe from the outside one of the leading opera and ballet theaters in the world.
Enjoy an extensive wine & food tasting that includes 3-4 famous Italian wines (for each person) and a delicious platter with traditional cold cuts and cheese selection.
Chistina,our guide, was passionate about her city and it showed. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very informative. The wine and cheese tasting at the end of the tour was a perfect ending. The Duomo is very impressive and a must see in Milan.
I truly enjoyed this tour. Cristina was very pleasant and informative. The duomo is amazing, the wine and appetizers delicious! There were only 5 of us so It was intimate and easy to navigate. If there was one thing negative, I wish Cristina had a louder voice. I am not hard of hearing, at times it was difficult to hear her-even outside not church where you should be quieter.
My wife and I had an absolutely incredible experience on this tour. Our guide Alessandro was fantastic. He was deeply knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about Milan’s history and culture. He kept us perfectly on time without ever making the day feel rushed, and he even took great photos of us along the way, which we really appreciated. From skipping the lines at the Duomo to standing on the rooftop terrace, every moment felt special. We loved strolling through the Galleria Vittorio, learning the stories behind Piazza della Scala, and ending the day with an amazing wine and food tasting. It truly felt like a personalized experience at our own pace, guided by someone who cared about making the day memorable. We couldn’t recommend this tour more highly.
We saw everything we expected to and more! It was a great way to see and learn about the city. Our tour guide, Marco, was exceptional, knowledgeable, and fun to spend time with.
Maria was wonderful. Great tour of the Duomo and the terrace followed by a nice tasting lunch surrounded by locals. Definitely recommend and a great way to see the Duomo.
Unbelievable beauty. It was amazing from the top of the Duomo, as well as inside. The skip the line was well worth it. Our guide, Angela, was knowledgeable, fun and engaging. We all had a fantastic experience… better than I imagined.
Great tour! Marco is very friendly, and very knowledgeable. We had a great tour of duomo, then historical walk though parts of the city, ending with a great wine tasting(3 glasses!) and a fantastic lunch of locally produced cheese and meat! We ended up buying a case of one of the wines we tried because it was so good! I am certain you won’t be disappointed with Marco, he will give yiu as much or as little as you want! Perfect half day in the center of Milan!
This is the best highlights tour for sure. Anna was a very lovely and informative guide. We saw the shopping center, the Piazza, and went on an amazing walk around the TOP of the Duomo! What an experience. We ended up at a lovely wine bar on the piazza with wine tasting, and aperitivo snacks… What a charming and relaxing time. Anna told us wonderful stories, a lot of history, and some rumors (!) About people and events over the last several hundred years. Definitely the tour to come on if you want a brief but thorough exposure to the last several hundred years in a couple of hours! Not only going on top of the Duomo, with a phenomenal view of the city, when we went downstairs inside, mass was being held so we heard the stunning organ music, and experienced the ambience of a centuries old church in the middle of an actual mass. Definitely recommend doing this… It will be one of the highlights of our trip. Grazie!
What a magical tour. Couldn’t find a more knowledgeable and engaging guide to show us around the centre of Milan, and the Duomo in particular. And finished off with lunch and wine tasting with a view of the Duomo. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend taking this private tour. I had heard so much about Milan . It was nice to see it through the eyes of a local. Anna was absolutely amazing!!! Made both my friend and I feel so welcome!!! The wine and cheese tasting was a nice closure to an amazing day!!!
Our guide Giorgio was outstanding. So knowledgeable and thoroughly versed in history of the Duomo. We had lively conversation throughout and he never failed to highlight the major as well as minor points. The food after our Duomo tour was excellent and plentiful. We had a reserved table at a lively restaurant. I would happily do again and can highly recommend this tour. Also, I would like to thank Marco who accommodated a date/time change and was so amiable about it.
Great tour ! Totally recommend. It was a good combination of cultural sights and cultural food and wine tasting at the end.
Alessandro was amazing. His knowledge of the places and history of Milan captivated our minds. I will give him 10/10. The tour was perfect. It was private, which we enjoyed also. Made us feel special to have such a knowledgeable guide. And he even stayed with us for a bit at dinner and gave us his knowledge of wines and cheese. It was such an amazing day thanks to him. Thank you so much for everything.
The Duomo, is an amazing place to visit!! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. The food & wine tasting was not impressive, it takes place in a restaurant, the guide brought us to our table, spoke to us and we parted ways, they brought us our meat & cheese board, poured 3 glasses of wine, rushed through the explanation of the wine, and left us. No one ever came back to check on us.
The tour guide was fabulous!!! He was very knowledgeable !!! We loved everything about the Duomo tour, as far as the wine and cheese, that was disappointing, it takes place in a restaurant, they know you are part of a tour, they drop off your wine and food and never check on you again!!!
Wonderful tour with a terrific, accommodating guide. Tour company was super easy to work with and very helpful. We ended the tour with an optional add-on wine tasting right near the Duomo - highly recommend!
This was an exceptional tour mainly because of our guide, Martino. His ability to point out details and discuss background and history relating to both The Last Supper and the Duomo elevated the entire experience. I asked him if he had studied art history. If I could give him six stars, I would. I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying a tour with him…and I say this as someone who is not a morning person but booked an 8:15 a.m. tour because it was the only time slot available. I’m glad I got up early that day and had this experience
We had a wonderful trip in Milan and Venice. Our tour guide was very professional and told a lot of interspersed details. We are so happy we booked this tour <3 <3 <3
We want to deeply thank Corrado, and Memento, for today's private tour, on 11/02/2023. Corrado was very careful and attentive with us. He was punctual and kind.

Likewise, it resolved safely and quickly any eventuality and/or setback. We are very happy and we commit to suggesting your site and Corrado, for family and friends who visit Milan and want to know, in detail, the places we did on the tour. Someone said and said well, “luxury is in the details”, it was a “luxury” tour. Thanks Corrado and Thanks Memento, you have style!! Hug from Sara and Carlos from Argentina
