The skip the line feature was perfect. Also going up with the lift was helpful. Duomo view from terrace was astonishing. The Charles crypt was also fascinating. The cathedral was a piece of art.
Despite all the technical problems with the Italian partner, Headout responded to questions and suggested a solution.

We loved the Cathedral! It was so beautiful inside and out. We just had a rainy day which made the outside experience hard to enjoy the beauty of the view.
We were very please using the Headout app. The Duomo Cathedral was just impressive. The day we went it rained most of the day but didn't spoil our enjoyment of our surroundings.
It was a wonderful experience wandering among the gargoyles and spires above the city. Just beautiful and awe-inspiring.
The ticke5 was very readily available. Very smooth fast track and straight up to the rooftop o& the duomo . The cathedral is spectacular, views all over the city, lots of walking , it gets pretty high. If you have a fear of heights the roof can be daunting.
Zero waiting time at the elevator, meeting point clearly explained on the booking form. A walk on the roof at your own pace, a real pleasure, a wonderful discovery.

Loved this tour. Not having a guide was a plus for us since we don't really care to have a guide telling us how long we can stay in a certain area before moving on. We got to see 360 degree views of the rooftop and found this to be one of the best experiences we've had in a all of Italy. Highly recommend the fast track ticket as we bypassed well over an hour or two hour wait in line. The views were fantastic and I can't say I've been on a church rooftop prior to this. Headout app was easy to use. The fast track line is on the opposite side of the regular line. Security can help guide you if you can't find it. You can see the queue in the attached photos. We took the elevator up then you climb several stairs to a higher level. The stairs were easy to climb but I'm sure would be slippery when wet. This ticket gave us access to the inside of the church as well which was well worth it.
Easy access, didn't wait too long and not too crowded on the rooftop. Amazing architecture and the inside also very beautiful.
5 minutes waiting time in front of the cathedral due to ticket and bag checks. Milan Cathedral is fantastic and breathtaking. The outdoor terraces around the cathedral are amazing. Unbelievable! You need to be a good walker, as the path to the upper terraces consists of 90 steps. The only way down is via a circular stone staircase. An estimated 200 steps. But it's worth it...

The ticketing process was simple and quick. Headout is great and we've used this booking agent before. The actual duomo rooftop self guided tour is expensive and overrated. The lift access was for the ascent only. Narrow winding stairs had to be negotiated for the descent. It's very crowded on the rooftop and scaffolding obscured a lot of the architecture.
It was really faster to get on the roof top. Even though you go on a lift to go on terrace you have to climb lot of steps .
Fast track pays off, no waiting time. The meeting point was also easy to find. We took the elevator up, then continued on foot. Beautiful cathedral with breathtaking views. Lots of people on the roof, so the descent takes a little longer. A must when in Milan!

Great app, easy to use and access your e-tickets. We got the fast track roof access with elevator. Make your way to the back of of the church where you will be taken to the roof immediately and have access to a larger area to discover. When you're done you make your way inside the the Duomo seamlessly and also have access to the San Carlo crypt and the archeological dig. Buy with confidence.
I bought the Cathedral Fast Track tickets with lift to terrace and I'm soooo glad I did! Saved tons of steps and time to be able to squeeze in other activities on our short trip to Milan. Great views and No issues! Thank you!
We still had to queue and we were not actively given an audio guide. We would also have liked a more detailed description of the entrance and the procedure.

The truth is that the experience is very good! Climb without queues to the roof and with elevator! Highly recommended if you do not want to spend hot and long waits climbing steps to see the roofs of the cathedral! Tickets are valid from the time of purchase until 72 hours after purchase! So great! We bought tickets for one day and could not attend that day but the next and no problems! As a downside, just to say that when we contacted an employee of the company through the WhatsApp service, because we were worried about not being able to attend the appointment the day we had the reservation, the employee simply replied that they were sorry but the company policy was that they did not make changes to the tickets once purchased and issued. That's right! That's correct! they put it in the company policy, but he should have also explained that the tickets to enter the cathedral and the museum is valid up to three days after the date of purchase, and he ignored it without giving an adequate service to my understanding! We had to find out another way.

In our time slot there were so many people in the cathedral that there were traffic jams on the steps (inside) when leaving the terrace.... Stood in a long queue again and again in the sweltering heat to get down.... They all just wanted to get out of the cathedral to buy water somewhere!

The Duomo is a magnificent monument, but because it's so famous, it's best to take the queue cutter to avoid the wait and get access to the elevator.

It was so amazing and incredible! You can just keep staring at it! You're in awe! Breathtaking! You can't believe it's real! We loved it!

Selling tickets was easy. However, when we arrived at the Cathedral there was no one to give us directions. I arrived and was directed to a huge queue, like everyone else, to get in. I didn't see any advantage in buying the ticket in advance.

Head out made purchasing tickets super easy! Pick your tickets, hit checkout, and electronic ticket is sent straight to email, so no need to print! We were SO thankful that we did the full Milano Duomo experience! The Cathedral was stunning and the museum was fascinating 🤩
Tickets arrived in my inbox as indicated during the purchase. We had access to the attractions covered by the tickets we chose. No suprises. Info offered when purchasing tickets regarding the dress code for the cathedral was useful. Good service

The Milan cathedral is awesome, a must to visit! The rooftop tour was great, such a beautiful view over the city. We were there about 20 minutes before, everything was very well organized.
The cathedral is a very beautiful building with a great roof terrace and a fantastic view over the city. What was a pity was that we booked and paid for tickets for the cathedral, roof terrace and the Musseum for that day. But the Musseum was unfortunately closed that day. That should have been different. Offering a ticket without the Musseum for this day.

I loved the roof terraces of the Duomo. You get a panoramic view of the city and can see the statues and details of the cathedral. What's more, we had superb, clear weather with a beautiful blue sky. Wow effect guaranteed! We had booked our tickets online in advance (visit to the cathedral + access to the roofs via the stairs) to avoid queuing. Not disappointed! It was our best visit to Milan

Very easy booking and felt great to walk up to like with ticket on phone. The tour was outstanding. Up to the marble slabs of the terrace and then down and into the church. I had plenty of time to tour and take photos
Everything worked perfectly. Milan Cathedral and the Cathedral Museum are an outstanding cultural experience overall. It would be nice if all the options were really included in the overall ticket and you didn't suddenly have to buy a special entrance ticket for the crypt of St. Charles Borromeo in the cathedral.

Part of the problem was the weather - it was wet which made the rooftop quite slippery and it was very crowded. When we completed the rooftop we were told to get into the cathedral we had to go to the front of the church to get in and the line up was so long and we would have had to wait in the rain. I asked a guide at the gate and he said we should have been able to get in directly from when we came down from the rooftop so there were mixed messages and we never got to the inside of the church as we were not prepared to wait for ages in the rain.
It was a wonderful experience wandering among the gargoyles and spires above the city. Just beautiful and awe-inspiring.
The ticke5 was very readily available. Very smooth fast track and straight up to the rooftop o& the duomo . The cathedral is spectacular, views all over the city, lots of walking , it gets pretty high. If you have a fear of heights the roof can be daunting.
The booking and the ease of execution were perfect. The experience was wonderful. The terraces of the Duomo, a must see. The view when you come out of the staircase of the terraces leading inside the Duomo, I think is breathtaking. I loved it.

We were in line for more than half an hour and two groups passed by, one of them of 45 people, when we were already in line for more than 20 minutes, the only explanation, to the complaints of several people, including me, was that they had priority, without further explanation.

Sensational view of the city and details of the cathedral. Despite the elevator, you have to climb steps on the roof and walk behind it. Only suitable for guests who are good walkers. But after the descent you are standing inside the cathedral :-).

This was such a great option. It was too late to do a tour and I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity. It was very easy and simple. The ticket info indicates clearly where you need to go. Honestly I'm so glad I did this instead of the tour. I recommend this 1000%
The entrance is very well organized and the view over the rooftops of Milan is of course unique. However, you should be lucky enough to plan your ascent at a less busy time, otherwise it won't be much fun.

Although it was only 2 hours, the experience in Milan was amazing, it was so grand and majestic, it was just a pity it was raining at that time.

This Duomo was one of our favorites in Italy. We took the rooftop tour. Not much of a view at all. A bit disappointing actually, compared to the Duomo of Florence Dome climb. Skip the entrance line was good. Pay extra to skip that. What is your time worth?
Easy to book and use the app. It was a very smooth experience. Duomo is an amazing architecture and a must visit for everyone visiting Milan.
It was very nice to be able to see the city from above. The construction of the building is fascinating. You can go up by elevator as well as on foot. You could also walk around the cathedral/on the terrace several times. Wonderfully beautiful.

We also appreciated the support of other team members at key points in the tour. We are excited to do future tours with Walks!
Absolutely fantastic guide, Daniele, was knowledgeable, informative, appropriately humorous and we could have listened to him all day. Brilliant
Lorella was so knowledgeable and knew the answer to all of our questions. She enlightened us on every aspect of the Duomo and its history. She is the BEST!
Our guide, Lora, was extremely knowledgeable, able to explain and integrate all the relevant history - giving exact dates. Also she was so enthusiastic! Lora also remembered everyone by name and things about them as well. She is amazing!
Tour Guide was very good but she encountered long delay in purchasing our tickets so we lost 15 minutes - these tickets should be purchased beforehand so we do not have to wait. The tour was then cut short as the inside of the cathedral was closed and we missed out on the second part of our tour. Very disappointing as we had paid for tour of both rooftop and inside the Duomo.
Our guide, who was supposed to comment in English, made us very happy by explaining everything in French, as there were only 2 of us - many thanks to him for his performance.

The cathedral is simply gigantic and well worth seeing. I have to admit that I find it more impressive from the outside than from the inside. Of course, the beautiful windows are easier to see from the inside. The tour was very good. Our tour guide tried to listen to everyone and also included the children present. There could have been less information in the museum. But other participants thought it was great. I'm not a museum fan, I just wanted to go to the cathedral at a good time. The meeting point was easy to find and personal problems were easy to discuss. A tour guide in German would have been even more interesting.

Guide was entertaining. Walked a bit fast for us. Thought we were going to return to our meting point after the tour was over. Had to hunt for a taxi to get back to our starting point. Had no idea how to do this or where to look.
Our guide Maria was extremely knowledgeable, not just about the sights we saw but also about the history of Milan generally. Not only did we see The Last Supper and the Duomo but also many other interesting aspects of Milan. The ticketing experience was very straightforward. This tour is well worth the expense, particularly on your first day in Milan. Then you can investigate more later.
