Nice experience. But confusing info didn't explain well that we had to exchange the online ticket for a paper ticket. So we had to walk all the way back to the office... Also wasn't clear that to used the audio guide you had to download Headout app AND you had to have your own headphones or earbuds...

The view from the Piazza is so spectacular, that we chose to have a quick lunch which provided us with front seats to the incredible architecture of the forteress. Inside the Pinacoteca, every object is a masterpiece and the paintings, particularly those with mythological subjects, are quite striking. The lavatories, on the other hand are a disgrace.

Our tour guide David was exceptional. Knowledgeable and very easy to talk to throughout the tour. The pace was just right and got to see so much of the castle, tower and surrounding gardens. Thank you for a great morning .

Easy to collect the tickets, the location is well-marked. However, it would be good to add a numbered map to show where the museums are located. Otherwise, perfect for the rest.

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.

This was a disappointment and I would not use this company again. The audio app was rubbish and no help at all. It made the visit more difficult so stopped using it
