Customer Reviews
Outstanding! We loved the guide, her insight and humor. Highly recommended this tour sight. Don’t miss it, especially don’t miss the roof.
Kiara was incredible! Her personality, humour and knowledge was everything needed to make every minute of the tour captivating. She was personal, fun and a pleasure to meet in Milan. Thank you so much!
You do get a quick lift to the roof, but the descent is by foot.. narrow, windy, and well over 300 steps.
