What a fun day! Our guide Larisia was friendly and full of knowledge. Seeing the city from the roof of the Duomo was amazing as well as seeing Duomo statues up close. Each one is unique! We also enjoyed learning more about the Galleria Vittoriano Emmanuel, Piazza Mercanti, and Starbucks Reserve Roastery. She tied current events to Milan’s history so we felt much better acquainted with this lovely city.
Informative and efficient
