Smoothe, quick entry. Staff were great and allowed me to use lift as I have a sore knee. I was astounded to visit an exhibition of Egyptian artefacts in addition to all the wondrous Castello items.

An essential visit with many different collections, making it more interesting as a whole. I especially enjoyed the ceramics collection as there were particularly nice objects!

The guide was excellent, he managed to speak in two languages fluently. He made the tour quite interesting and funny. I really enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

The museum is beautiful and has a wide variety of works of art. I loved the art gallery, and then I went to Sforza Castle, which is truly a wonderful castle steeped in history. I explored both the fortress area and a very interesting museum with many medieval artifacts—there were even weapons from that era. All in all, everything was wonderful. I loved it in every way; I highly recommend it, and it’s very convenient because the combined price for these two activities is a great deal.

Buying tickets online was easy and affordable, although I think it would be better if you didn’t have to download two apps just to visit a single attraction. It would have been most convenient if the ticket had worked via the QR code in the email, and the audio guide had also worked by scanning QR codes in the rooms (at times, it wasn’t clear which one to listen to). Additionally, there was no information anywhere about the need to activate the ticket and pick up a paper ticket at a location outside the venue.

Our experience wa excellent! Daniele is an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable and kind to people. His explanations were very clear and answered all the questions we all had. We also asked for recommendations and he kindly suggested us what was better for each of us. We are very pleased with our experience to the Sforza Castle and Daniele's presentation. Thank you for a wonderful morning in. Milan!
