Piazza Duomo is the center of the city and the square dedicated to Duomo: cathedral and symbol of the city since 1386.
We have the opportunity to visit the rooftop, the inside of the cathedral and the archeological area underground with a skip-the-line access. Looking around we can see Palazzo reale, Museo del Novecento and the statue dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele.
We walk through Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the first shopping mall in the world: and amazing centre of elegance and fun with a very innovative architecture. We look at details on the floor and on the dome and at the incredible shops and restaurants.
We reach piazza Scala and the temple of music and opera: Teatro alla Scala. The opera House hosts the greatest international artists since 1778! We look at the other interesting architectures in the square and learn about the life and work of Leonardo da Vinci, whom the statue in the centre of the square is dedicated to.
Walking through the modern via Dante we can reach the Sforza Castle. A fortress in the past, an elegant renaissance residence of the dukes Sforza, it is nowadays a gem for culture and history thanks to the stunning collections of its museums. We visit the Parco Sempione, a beautiful and peaceful park.
We visit the pictoresque neighbourhood of Brera, the "art district" , with its alleys full of charme and history and enter in the Academy of art, a great university still nowadays.

Veronica was professional, friendly, very knowledgeable and led our team on an amazing virtual tour of downtown Milan, Italy! She was great to work with and even was able to support our last minute tour request, less than 2 daysi in advance. She answered questions and interacted with us as we saw the beautiful city and the team had a great time. A very unique, fun experience and I highly recommend Veronica A as a tour guide!
Thank you Elizabeth for your great review! Really glad you enjoyed the experience, great to be your virtual guide in Milan!! Arrivederci!
Since pandemic, our team is unable to travel hence my management decided to plan for online zoom team activities instead. I was recommended to search on 'Go With Guide' for a LIVE virtual tour that our team can still 'travel'. It really sounds like a great idea and is interesting to me. I searched a few on Europe for Christmas market and Veronica really caught my attention for her tour service in Italy. She was on time and got the zoom connection ready before the stipulated time and we really admire her dedication to her job. She brought us to 'walk' around the amazing cathedral and some Christmas stalls. She also explained to us about some history. It was a pleasant 1-hour tour together. We really enjoyed the whole virtual tour by Veronica and will definitely recommend her virtual tour service to our networks.
Thank you very much Candy and the whole team for your review! It was a great pleasure to show you the city in a different way!! Best regards
