# Milan Semi Private Tour with Duomo Skip-the-Line & Rooftop

**Guidekin's take:** A group capped at ten that walks from Sforza Castle through Parco Sempione and Brera to La Scala and ends inside the Duomo and on its rooftop terraces, with entry included, plus a fully private tier. Food and drinks are extra, and the cathedral asks for appropriate clothing and silence inside. 4.98 from 49 reviews at €125 per person.

## Overview

Discover Milan on a small-group tour created for travelers who value depth, efficiency and privileged access. Groups are limited to 10 guests for a more personal experience, with a fully private option available.

Begin at Castello Sforzesco, stroll through Parco Sempione and the elegant Brera district. Continue to Teatro alla Scala and the iconic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II before reaching Milan’s symbol: the Duomo.

Enjoy skip-the-line entry to the Cathedral with your licensed expert guide. Visit the interior, then access the rooftop terraces for panoramic views over Milan and, on clear days, the Alps.
