We arrived at meeting point 30 minutes early because Laura was supposedly doing the same tour right before ours. After she was 30 minutes late, I started texting her through the app. She finally responded & said she’d be there within 20 minutes. She didn’t arrive until after 2:00 (our tour was scheduled for 1:00). She had no excuse for not showing up & we had another tour scheduled or 3:30 pm. She wanted us to tour the inside of the cathedral & then come back later to do the terraces. I told her we were there for only 1 day & wanted so start with the terraces. She rushed us through the terraces only stopping to tell us what pictures to take. She kept cutting in front of other people to rush us through. We ended up inside the cathedral & we told her we had to get to the next tour. She said we could take a taxi & she knew the next tour didn’t really start until 4:00 (meeting time was 3:30). I didn’t believe her and kept trying to get her to get us outside, she kept going on and on about things in the cathedral - I felt like she was holding us hostage as she wanted to take us to the taxi so she could tell the driver where to take us. Finally we just started walking to the exit - finally she came along & we got a taxi. This was an extra expense for us as we had purchased 24-hour tram tickets. We barely got to the meeting place for the next tour at 3:30. The tour did start immediately! I’m so glad we didn’t listen to what Laura said about it not starting until 4pm. I do NOT recommend Laura as a tour guide. We initially signed up for a 12:00 tour of the Milan Cathedral via the App. But later, Laura contacted me asking us to change our tour time to 1:00 as she had another tour before ours. I think she was scheduling tours on the side because I followed all of the rules to select a guide and time via the app. I asked her to change our tour time I. The app because it still showed 12:00 but she said it couldn’t be changed. In the future, I will stick with GetYourGuide. I have used them extensively all over Europe and have never had a problem with them. Showed up 2 hours late!

Laura was an excellent tour guide and kept our family of four (including 2 older teens, one of whom is not a history buff) engaged the entire time. The Duomo area was so crowded with tourists so skip the line was totally worth it. We got right up to the roof in the elevator after waiting only a few minutes. She showed us all the highlights of the Duomo, roof and archeological area (so glad we went down to see it) with just the right amount of explanation. Great guide through a busy venue and worked to get us through the crowds to see the beautiful details. Pointed out where to where to get the best photos. We felt the tour was well worth the price. Thank you for a wonderful day!Excellent private tour of the Milan Duomo

Elisa shared with us the most wonderful morning. She was so knowledgeable. Her presentation style made the information very interesting. We were never overload with too much talk. Elisa showed us through the Duomo starting with some interesting history of the cathedral. We then visited the interior (skip the line), the crypt and then the rooftop terraces (skip the line again). So amazing! We could have done all this on our own but we were so pleased we were able to have Elisa to guide us and provide us with context and insight. Elisa was a generous and delightful guide. We highly recommend her tours.Fabulous Duomo di Milano tour

Wow, what a fantastic experience. We were short on time in Milano but had to see the Duomo and Laura got us in and out and off to the Last Supper with enough time to see it, go back to the Duomo and walk the roof line. This was a fantastic experience and a great way to start our trip in Italy. Laura is knowledgeable and very helpful in explaining the history and answering questions about it. Skip line Duomo Milian

Laura was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. Her Duomo tour was very detailed and she paced it based on our interests and actually went a few minutes long (accidentally on our part) but she was very gracious and took it in stride. Her historical and religious knowledge was very useful in understanding the Duomo both in its specific history but also in how it fits into Italian history and church history. Very much worth it!

We had a very enjoyable tour with Laura at the famous Duomo in Milan. Laura did a great job of giving us the historical and architectural context for this amazing cathedral. There is so much to take in, but she covered the key points with us in a very interesting way. When it came time for us to go up to the terrace of the Duomo, it began raining, and she did a good job of explaining how we could come back later for that part of our experience.

Duomo Cathedral in Milan is a must see! On our recent visit we have chose Laura - a local tour guide to show us around this magnificent place. When I think of Laura one word comes to my mind, which is Passion! She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her job! If you decide to explore Duomo Cathedral on your own, you won't really see or find out much about this sacre place, apart from exploring the uniquie architecture. Laura took us on an amazing journey telling us about the history of this place and showing every little detail, including the hidden baptism area under ground, which made our visit very special! Thank you Laura for your passion, it definitely made our tour very memorable! Best wishes, Viorica, Oleg and Patrick Dublin, IrelandFantastic experience!

Laura has exceptional knowledge, wisdom and passion. In addition she has the worldly experience of knowing how to meet a traveler's needs. Our time spent with Laura as she guided us through Milan's Duomo was one of the highlights of our entire stay in Italy. She gave above and beyond to satisfy all our curiosity including an insight into Milanese lifestyle, culture and history. We were truly sad not to have enough time in Milan to join her Cosmopolitan tour of Milan. Thank you Laura, you are the best. A prossima volta... until next time! Grazie!!!! Exceptional guide!
