Isa led a customized private Milano family tour including a 7 year old. She arrived ready with many facts about the city, but also a tailored scavenger hunt making Milano come alive. She also adjusted the tour to both our jet lag and the weather. We so appreciate our time and highly recommend Isa as a guide!Isa created a magical visit to Milano

My son-in-law arranged for Omar to be our guide for what was my first trip to Italy and Milan, in particular. He was most informative and understanding as well. I learned and experienced so much while we toured Il Duomo. He helped me decide whether to climb to its top or not since I recently celebrated my 80th birthday. I am so happy I decided to go for it! It is a magnificent structure with a wonderful history.Over the Top with Omar

First of all, the Duomo is fantastic, and well worth the visit. We booked two tours with Omar -- the Duomo and also the Highlights and Hidden Gems. Omar is from Milan and an experienced guide. He was wonderful, and really made the Duomo -- which is amazing -- come to life. He knows the city like the back of his hand and was able to show us some wonderful things and really give us a feeling for their history and how they were used. We had my wife and mother-in-law for the Duomo part of things, and he was careful to make sure that my mother-in-law was OK with all the climbing. Omar is warm and funny and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.Great tour with a true local

We are so happy we came across Isa's profile when searching for a guide. As per her profile description, she is well educated in all things DaVinci. It was interesting getting her interpretation of parts of the city impacted by him. We would have loved to spend an entire day with her.24 Hours in Milan, so we had to do a tour!

Omar provided my daughter and I with an outstanding personalized tour of the Duomo in Milano. He brought his personal experiences, knowledge, and insights into a tour of an absolutely stunning structure. I highly recommended private tours that allow you to skip the line. It’s saves your precious vacation time and takes the stress out of the process of visiting the Duomo. In addition a private tour with Omar will provide you with education on the Duomo from a unique perspective. Thus tour included visiting the terraces if the Duomo allowing one to physically walk on the roof of the Duomo, see a view of the city, and view these beautiful and magical terraces up close, a not to be missed opportunity.

I am so thankful for this experience. I went solo and was so happy I was able to explore Milan and learn so much from Isa who is passionate about what she shows. I also love our connection and how we have similar stories and overlaps in beliefs.

Absolutely a must-do in Milan, especially for curious minds. I saw places I would probably never be able to find by myself (especially few hidden gems), and Isa’s explanation made it all even more special. She will not only help you learn more about Leonardo, but she will also provide an interpretation of his message that is still just as relevant today as it was many centuries ago. If you want to treat yourself to a good, thought-provoking walking tour, don’t hesitate any further.A Must-do in Milan!

Omar is an exceptional guide, he has an extensive knowledge of Milan’s history. Omar delivers information in a passionate and captivating manner its like you travel through time as you discover the secrets and rich history of Milan. Milan at first glance does not seem as rich in history as other Italian cities and I felt enlightened and fully immersed with Omar’s tour. A wonderful, engaging and fun tour as Omar is such a positive and energetic person with a vast knowledge of Milan.Best guide ever!
