Piazza Della Scala: Tours & Tickets

The tour was outstanding and the guide Cristina was full of knowledge anything about Milan. Cristina called me on my mobile well in advance before we met Cristina at Milan Duomo as per agreed time and this is somewhat we feel like in home at Milan. She was waiting having placard with my name on it and it was wonderful welcome from her. We started tour with outside visit of Duomo followed by inside of duomo with detail explanation from Cristina at every point.Then we moved thru Galleria Vittorio Emanuele to La Scala museum (outside only) and finally to Castello Sforzesco. The weather was excellent as spoken by Cristina herself and the fine weather made the walking tour more comfortable. We had the experience of Gelato during the walking in one of the shop suggested by Cristina and it was amazing. The tour will be always in our heart and mind and this was possible only because of Cristina.

My daughter and son went on this tour and enjoyed their time with their tour guide, Donna. They appreciated the spacing of the tour, with stops for coffee and lunch, as well as the walkability of the tour. Donna enthusiastically explained all things Milan, especially the art, architecture and ruling history, and provided a great orienting introduction to the city. Donna shared her rich knowledge of the churches, artworks (especially the Last Supper!), and historical landmarks around Milan (opera house, shopping centers, government and financial buildings, castles, etc.), as well as tips on restaurants, transport and Milanese life. The tour familiarized my daughter and son with Milan, which helped situate them for the rest of their time in the city. Would recommend for a fun, structured day!

The tour was extremely well organized. We had everything ready when we arrived at each place. What really made this tour amazing was Silvia Dondi, our guide. She is full of knowledge: history, the stories about the people and their lives, Milanese perspectives and insightful, touching explanations about Michelangelo's pieta and the last supper. Silvia is a proud Milenese and gave us humorous explanations about many places in the city and answered all our questions in detail. If you like culture, history and art - DON'T MISS THIS! Thank you Silvia!

I enjoyed the exibition. It took us about 1 1/2 hours to check out everything. Unfortunately, if you don‘t speak/read Italian, you won‘t get much information out of the museum. We quickly opted for the Audioguide for 4€pp. This made the exibition very interesting but I don‘t think it‘s fair to the international guests that the signs aren‘t transleted to english properly. We booked a few minutes before we entered the Museum and had nor problems using the mobile ticket on the phone!

Interesting museum, where they produced models to many of Leonardos (technical) grafics. Nice features with quizzes and interactive softwares. Sometimes I wished, that the people workibg there do understand more in depth. The Audio guide explanations are sometimes not enough to understand the purpose of the inventions or models. It‘s still amazing hoe much effort the museum has put in to awake the graphs to life :-) I habe spend there 2hours.
