Riches of Sforza Castle - Fabio was one of the best guides we have ever had. He took time before we entered the castle complex to explain a lot of the history of the castle, This made the stories inside the castle much richer. At the Pieta he gave in-depth information about the unfinished masterpiece & the death mask. All incredible!

A must see place in Milan! - Great tour guide who was very thorough, knowledgeable and easy to understand. Seeing Michelangelo’s last work was a thrill for me as I read a book about him. Trip Advisor was so easy to deal with in that they provide you with regular updates about your tour. It was easy to find the tour guide and the meeting place.

Extra time required for the trip if museum is included - 4 to 5:30 is too short and you will get herded out of the museum by the museum staff exactly at 5:30.

Not recommended - Poor guide for a private tour & the money paid / she seemed to be disinterested & waiting for the tour to end! Disappointed to say the least - I expect better from Viator / felt like a waste of money - not a good feeling!!
