My son-in-law arranged for Omar to be our guide for what was my first trip to Italy and Milan, in particular. He was most informative and understanding as well. I learned and experienced so much while we toured Il Duomo. He helped me decide whether to climb to its top or not since I recently celebrated my 80th birthday. I am so happy I decided to go for it! It is a magnificent structure with a wonderful history.Over the Top with Omar

First of all, the Duomo is fantastic, and well worth the visit. We booked two tours with Omar -- the Duomo and also the Highlights and Hidden Gems. Omar is from Milan and an experienced guide. He was wonderful, and really made the Duomo -- which is amazing -- come to life. He knows the city like the back of his hand and was able to show us some wonderful things and really give us a feeling for their history and how they were used. We had my wife and mother-in-law for the Duomo part of things, and he was careful to make sure that my mother-in-law was OK with all the climbing. Omar is warm and funny and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.Great tour with a true local

Omar provided my daughter and I with an outstanding personalized tour of the Duomo in Milano. He brought his personal experiences, knowledge, and insights into a tour of an absolutely stunning structure. I highly recommended private tours that allow you to skip the line. It’s saves your precious vacation time and takes the stress out of the process of visiting the Duomo. In addition a private tour with Omar will provide you with education on the Duomo from a unique perspective. Thus tour included visiting the terraces if the Duomo allowing one to physically walk on the roof of the Duomo, see a view of the city, and view these beautiful and magical terraces up close, a not to be missed opportunity.

Wir waren eine Gruppe von 5 Personen. Elisa hat unsere Wünsche bei den Sehenswürdigkeiten toll berücksichtigt. Es war unterhaltsam und informativ. Wir haben einen deutschsprachigen Tourguide gebucht. Die Besichtigung auf deutsch durchzuführen, war für Elisa etwas schwierig. Letztendlich war es nicht ganz so beeinträchtigend, da wir auch die englische Sprache etwas verstehen. Elisa können wir gerne empfehlen. Nette und fundierte Stadtführerin

Omar is an exceptional guide, he has an extensive knowledge of Milan’s history. Omar delivers information in a passionate and captivating manner its like you travel through time as you discover the secrets and rich history of Milan. Milan at first glance does not seem as rich in history as other Italian cities and I felt enlightened and fully immersed with Omar’s tour. A wonderful, engaging and fun tour as Omar is such a positive and energetic person with a vast knowledge of Milan.Best guide ever!

This was our first visit to an Italian city. Elisa met us at our hotel, which was great after a gruelling 30 hour flight arriving late the night before. She showed us how to navigate public transport, the main sights of Milan and gave us suggestions about where to eat and what to do during our stay. A very worthwhile 3 hours and value for money. Elisa was friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. Would highly recommend. Best introduction to Milan

We had the most wonderful tour with Elisa! She is very nice and has a lot of knowledge about Milan, such things that you can't read about from the travel books. We had totally customized tour, which she came up just as we met her since I hadn't given her any onfo about what we had done already in Milan - I think is a truly a gift to make a plan on the spot spontaneously. During the tour Elisa had a microphone and we each had earpieces, which was nice, since we could walk in the streets at our own pace and could still hear her speech. Her english was very fluent and easy to keep up with, even though it isn't our mother tongue. She also gave as some tips on what to do on our stay in Milan - few of which we followed and also enjoyed during our stay. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anybody who wants to have a private tour, is a larger group or just want's to know something about Milan that isn't told in the tarvel books!Private walking tour in Milan

Elisa was truly amazing. I was sure milan doesn't have much to show but Elisa kept on showing new places and galleries that were truly amazing. She even went over the time booked in order to show me some extras. Her explanation of the facts and history kept me wanting for more. If you ever want to explore milan you must take Elisa as your guide and you won't be disappointed! Best tour guide!!

My wife and I visited Milan and asked for a tour of the highlights of the city since we were only there for a few days and Laura's tour blew us away! We saw way and learned way more than we ever expected to. Laura even made a dinner recommendation where we ended up having the best meal of our stay in Milan. The next time we or any friends visit Milan we will absolutely be recommending a tour with Laura.Laura was amazing!

Laura was fantastic. We met her in the piazza and she proceeded to take us on a great trip through history. She revealed historical facts and showed us areas of the Duomo that we would never have discovered on our own. The rooftop tour was so beautiful and is definitely worth it. The interior of the Duomo is breathtaking. Laura was engaging, smart, and passionate. We highly recommend her and this particular tour.Excellent tour

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!
