Imagine strolling through Milan’s iconic Duomo, camera in hand, trying to get that perfect shot. Now picture having a professional photographer by your side, guiding you to the best spots, helping you look relaxed and natural, and delivering beautifully edited photos afterward. That’s exactly what this private photoshoot experience promises—and from what we’ve seen, it generally delivers on its charm and value.
Two things we really like about this experience are the personalized guidance from local photographers and the quick delivery of high-quality edited images. These elements make the whole process smooth and enjoyable, especially if you’re not comfortable posing or if you’re pressed for time during your trip. A potential downside? The session can be as short as 15 minutes or as long as 2 hours, so if you’re expecting a full-blown photoshoot, you might want to plan accordingly. Still, for most travelers wanting a few stunning pics without much fuss, this could be just right.
Who will love this? If you’re visiting Milan and want to elevate your travel photos, especially in front of the Duomo, this experience suits those looking for a professional touch without breaking the bank. It’s also a good pick if you prefer a private, flexible session over generic group photos or selfies. Just keep in mind that this doesn’t include entrance tickets or printed photos, so plan those separately if needed.

The Itinerary and Locations

The excursion begins at McDonald’s Milano Duomo, serving as a practical meet-up point. From there, the photographer takes you to the Duomo Square—the heart of Milan’s architectural and cultural scene. This isn’t just a quick photo stop; it’s an opportunity to capture the grandeur of one of Italy’s most famous landmarks while having a relaxed, guided session.
The Duomo Square is bustling and lively, but your photographer will find the best angles to frame the cathedral’s intricate façade and your group. Since the session is private, you can customize it to focus on the shots that matter most to you—whether that’s a family portrait, a romantic couple shot, or solo photos.
The experience ends back at the initial meeting point, so it’s a straightforward outing that fits well into a busy sightseeing day. The actual session length is flexible, so if you want a quick 15-minute shoot or a more leisurely 2-hour session, you can choose what suits your schedule and mood.
What You Get and What You Don’t

Included in the package are the services of a professional photographer, personalized guidance on posing, high-quality edited photos, and access to a secure gallery within 48 hours. This means you won’t walk away with just raw images but polished, ready-to-share pictures.
What’s not included? Notably, entrance tickets to the Duomo aren’t part of this experience, so if you plan to go inside, make sure to buy those separately. Also, printed photos or physical souvenirs aren’t part of the package, but given how easy it is to download and share digital images nowadays, that’s usually not a big issue.
The meeting point is flexible, and your photographer will coordinate with you beforehand, ensuring you’re all set for a smooth experience. The activity is also wheelchair accessible, making it inclusive for more travelers.

One reviewer even noted, “Fazel was very professional and made the session really fun,” which is a good sign that this isn’t just a cookie-cutter service but one that focuses on genuine experience and good results.

At roughly $62.63 per group, considering you get a private session with a professional photographer and multiple edited photos, this offers good bang for your buck. Compared to booking a typical professional shoot in a major city, this price feels reasonable, especially given the prime location in front of the Duomo.
While it doesn’t include extras like entrance tickets or printed photos, the sheer convenience—personalized guidance, quick delivery, and a private setting—adds to the overall value. Plus, the possibility of purchasing additional photos offers flexibility if you love the images you receive.
