Not value for money
Alistair_H, Apr 2024
Our host Nina had excellent knowledge of the historical events about the castle but was uninspiring and her quiet voice couldn’t compete with the background noise
Uninspiring presentation
Michael_S, Apr 2024
Tour guide mumbled and often did not speak towards our group which was only 8 people. Tour was, nonetheless, interesting but presentation was dull. Guide's name might have been Marco but I'm not sure.
Our tour guide was...

Our tour guide was disorganized and made us stand in the rain. She could have arranged the tour such that we entered the museum first before showing us the facade.
Great tour!

Fabio was an excellent, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable tour guide! We enjoyed both his tour and his subsequent recommendations.
When in Milan a must see!
Diana_P, Oct 2023
We especially enjoyed Laura’s explanation of the Pieta Rosanni. The whole tour was very educational and informative. Our guide did a great job. Loved the small size of the tour. The castle was amazing!! Thanks

What better thing to do on a rainy day in Milan, but take a tour of Sforza Castle. We arrived a little early, and I saw our guide, and we were informed we were the only two that booked the tour that day, so we had our own little private tour. Our guide was so passionate about the history of the city, and of the arts, ( he’s pictured in one of the uploads) it was very refreshing. He was knowledgeable, and answered questions if we had any, we did not have enough time to see the rest of the museums on our own, but this just means we will have to return to Milan. I highly recommend this tour,and to see. Some of the last work of DaVinci, was amazing.
Great tour, very interesting, lots to see.
Kristine_S, Oct 2023
Excellent tour, very knowledgeable tour guide, unfortunately didn't keep her name, but lots of interesting things to see and learn inside the castle. Wasn't too crowded so you could see clearly. Plenty of time to look around and extend your timr inside the castle if needed. Nice group size, not too big.
Art history at Sforza Castello.
MonicaV, Oct 2023
Fantastic tour and Lara our guide is a art historian who gave us an in depth class on the Pieta. We have taken many tours and this one was by far the best. We finished the tour and felt like we had been part of a university art history class.
Fantastic tour

Ilana was very knowledgeable and very helpful, we didn’t feel rushed and it was easy to learn from her. Would recommend her to anyone.
Great tour, thank you , Fabio!

I did not even know of the Sforza Castle until a few days ago. Fabio was fun and engaging, so the tour had funny highlights. I was able to obtain a wheelchair for my husband, so he was not left out .

Fantastic tour, Stefania had so much good info for us. I was at the edge of my seat with everything she said. Highly recommend.
This particular tour not so good.
Iris_D, Jun 2023
The tour guide did not speak English well and I did not understand every 10th word that the guide spoke. I did not get much out of the session and would have done better on my own with the audio tape. I have had other tours with Viator which were very good.

Castle is ok, guide not great
D_W, Jun 2023
Castle is interesting, however our guide appeared to want to be elsewhere. Not a great experience and much shorter time than advertised.
Nice tour of the castle and grounds
