Itinerary
Visit the splendid Duomo, one of the world's largest, most striking Gothic cathedrals. Some 135 spires and 3,200 statues are crammed onto the roof and facade of the building.
Walk inside Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping gallery, a 19th century glass vaulted shopping arcade. Brimming with fashionable shops and cafes, it is often called the ‘salotto di Milano’ or ‘Milan’s drawing room’ for its importance over the years as a common meeting point for the people of Milan.
Enter Milan’s most famous Opera House, the fabulous La Scala theatre. Founded in 1778 and still in use, some of the world’s greatest musicians and opera singers have performed here including Pavarotti and Giuseppe Verdi, whose famous operas such as Falstaff often premiered in this very theatre.

Traveler reviews
Average
La scala was good tour did not go into dumo your tour guide was rude and unprofessional was not satisfactory
Good!
It was a nice tour overall. Our guide was very knowledgeable and with a good sense of humor. I wished the group was a bit smaller so we could move from one spot to another faster and cover more information vs waiting for some ppl taking their time to take pictures, window shopping, get lost etc.
Interesting and informative
This was an excellent way to see Milan for the first time. Our guide was friendly and informative. We were on a bus for some of the tour from which we saw some places that we were visited later. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful La Scala theatre.
Enjoyed!
Got to see what I really wanted to see and it was great! Guide did a very good job of giving us interesting tidbits of history.
Interesting but Disappointed
Did not meet my expectations! I was disappointed that the description and reviews did not deliver and lacked transparency, We did not find out that we would not be going up to see the panorama view until it was it was too late to purchase a ticket. We purchased the tour with our understanding that we would see the Duomo at both levels. With only limited time in Milan, I would have purchased a different tour.
