People Say About This Tour

This was the first time for our family to be in Milan and it was phenomenal. Our tour guide Gianluca was the best tour guide we’ve ever had and we’ve been on many tours over the years. His knowledge of not only Milan but all of Italy and it’s history was incredible - he even recommend restaurants for us to eat at while we stayed in Milan for a few days and they were awesome as well. Could not recommend Gianluca and this tour more highly!

Cesare was the perfect guide. We only had one day to tour Milan and he made sure we saw the most interesting things. He was totally organized to make the most of our full day tour. But what made it really special was the depth of his knowledge about art, architecture, history and the City.
