Embark on an unforgettable journey through the marvels of the Milan Cathedral Complex. With a passionate guide you will get into the Cathedral with skip-the-line access, avoiding long waiting times. As you enter this spectacular example of Gothic Architecture, be astonished to admire the unbelievable amount of artworks that decorate the interior.

Using a comfortable lift, you will go up to the Duomo Terrace, from where you will have a fantastic 360-degree view of the entire Milan skyline, with its skyscrapers and historic buildings. The Duomo is delightfully adorned with 135 spires and over 3.400 statues, including historical figures, gargoyles, animals, monsters, and dragons, all dominated by the "Madunina," the famous golden statue of the Virgin Mary.

Cancellation without replacement of guided tour

You canceled the day before a guided tour of the Duomo of Milan that we had booked a month in advance. Without any comments and without providing us with an alternative solution We have been clients for a long time, and the lack of support is outrageous; our trip from France was focused on this visit
