I liked serena as a person she was nice to talk to.Unfortunately,the price didn’t meet the expectations! 1-I thought I would eat as a local.Instead we went to berera district which is well known even for tourist that you’ll find a good meal there. 2-two of the food choices I already tried it before the experience! Either I am very good at food planning for my trip or there was no efforts put into the food choices in this experience 3-portions were insanely small,I had one cup of gelato and a bread stick to share with my colleague ! I don’t recommend this food tour at allHonest review

Zum Start unseres Mailand-Besuches konnte uns Serena einen sehr kurzweiligen Überblick über die Stadt und deren kulinarische Besonderheiten geben. Mit ihren weitergehenden Hinweisen werden wir unseren weiteren Aufenthalt zu einem unvergesslichem Erlebnis machen. Immer gern wieder!Ein gelungener Auftakt

Serena was a lovely host and we enjoyed exploring a new city with her. We loved all the the food we sampled and she expertly targeted our taste preferences while encouraging us to try new things. She had great stories of the city and we enjoyed the behind the scenes stops at the church and the art school. We recommend her as a guide for a laidback stroll full of delicious things.

Serena gave us a great walking tour of Milan, wrapping in her personal experiences with interesting history about things we saw along the route. The places she picked for us to eat were all interesting and good. The only slightly strange thing about the tour was that we started with chocolate as opposed to ending with it, but that flow worked well from a logistics perspective in terms of the route we took.Great tour

Sandeep🇺🇸 United States

The tour has no theme or thoughtful locations / commentary about local food. We learned zero about Milan food culture on the tour. Chocolate at the Armani store is one stop. Who wants chocolate from a corporate global fashion store when you can go to a local family owned shop with some history! Other stops are similar. Restaurant for lunch meal was 3.5/5 on Google reviews. Nice people but just normal food. We have done food tours in Rome and Venice that were 10/10. This was one in Milan was not worth it at all. Not worth it.

Wir haben zu Zweit die Tour mit Serena gebucht. Der Treffpunkt war im schönen Brera - Viertel. Serena hat die Tour mit vielen interessanten Informationen über Mailand gespickt, so dass man zusätzlich zu den leckeren Delikatessen auch einiges über die Stadt erfahren hat. Die Tour bietet ein kulinarisches Highlight nach dem nächsten - ich möchte hier nicht allzuviel vorweg nehmen. Lassen Sie sich überraschen und genießen Sie die Zeit mit einer absolut liebenswerten Serena. Auch für die restlichen Tage in Mailand haben wir super Tipps bekommen was wir noch machen und anschauen können. Sollten wir wieder in Mailand sein werden wir uns definitiv bei Serena melden :-) Absolut empfehlenswerte Tour!

We are a group of 10 women, we had a wonderful evening with Serena on an aperitif tour in Milan. Delicious drinks and appetizers in three different bars. Serena is an extremely sympathetic Italian, she also gave us many tips for our stay. It was a lot of fun. Thank you again!Aperitiv-Tour mit Serena

We had a great evening with Serena! Serena took us to a fun area of town and told us all sorts of facts about the Milano culture and history that we wouldn’t have found elsewhere. She went above and beyond to accommodate our allergy, and we had such a fun time trying all the local favorites. (We had the gelato she recommended an embarrassing number of times afterwards). We are so happy we did this tour and can’t wait to do another next time we are in town! Thanks, Serena!A lovely evening!

We booked our tour with Serena with less than 24 hours notice and turned out to be one of our best days in Italy. Serena took us to some great spots to get a taste of Milan, showed us around the beautiful campus she graduated from peppering bits of history throughout our walk. She even gave us a fantastic tip for where to have dinner! We'll look for Serena the next time we're in Milan.Last minute decision turned out to be a trip highlight

Brenda🇺🇸 United States

With Serena, we enjoyed a new neighborhood in Milan and a very local experience. We went to one cute wine bar/restaurant for charcuterie and one yummmy ice cream place. As much as this was less than we expected, we enjoyed our time with her. It worked fine for us because we weren’t very hungry. I would simply recommend clarifying the plan for the evening. Cin Cin!

Innerhalb von zwei Stunden haben wir mit Serena Milano-Brera erkundet, die Stadt ein kleinwenig kennengelernt und viel Spaß gehabt. Es gab kleine Köstlichkeiten mit den entsprechenden Erklärungen und zum Abschluss noch interessante Vorschläge um den Rest des Tages und Abends zu füllen. Durch die kulinarische Stadtführung mit Serena kam uns Milano gar nicht mehr so fremd vor. Vielen Dank liebe Serena!Milano besser kennenlernen

Wir hatten einen tollen Samstag Vormittag mit Serena. Sie führte uns durch das wunderschöne Brera - Viertel und zeigte uns auch ihre Universität (inkl. botanischen Garten), in der sie studiert hat. Danach jagte ein kulinarischer Genuss den nächsten. Der beste Espresso, die erste und beste Schokolade und vieles mehr :-) Wir kommen wieder, liebe Serena. DankeKultur, Spaß und Überraschungen mit Serena

This tour was amazing. Our tour guide Serena was great! She was very knowledgeable about the city of Milan and had a wonderful personality. She went out of her way to accommodate food restrictions and issues that we had arriving at the meet up point.We were able to try a variety of foods that were delicious. This experience allowed us to get a more authentic feel of the city. We had such a good time that we were considering of staying another day to go on another tour with Serena. Highly recommended.This tour was amazing.

She’s so knowledgeable about Milano and the places that we visited. This is the best way to get to know a city in a short amount of time. Thank you, Serena!!This tour was so perfect for our group.

This was an amazing experience. Serena took us throughout Brera and gave us a warm and amazing visit. The chocolate shop was probably my favorite chocolate that I have ever had, and she provided so much information that we could learn. I loved the tasting of the breads, the local charcuterie board, and the fabulous gelato. She even arranged a special treat for my husband, since it was his birthday. I highly recommend this experience and it was such a great base for an amazing day. I hope I will see her again!Amazing Experience

We loved Serena, she's an amazing person. It rained a little bit the night of the tour however, it did eventually stop but we still had a great time with Serena. She danced and sang with us, we drank and ate little bites and we also did a good bit of history as well. She also even recommended a great place for us to have dinner, which was really delicious!!! We loved Serena

We felt it as if we were just hanging out with a friend, She was very thoughtful giving us recommendations for places to dine which are more popular by locals. Overall, we were happy to have her as our host. You are lucky if you get to meet Serena :)Our tour was really great!

The walk towards Navigli was filled with interesting stories which gave such a feel for the place. She is very knowledgeable and gave such wonderful stories and accounts of the places we passed. And of course the drinks and bites were wonderful! Serena also went out of her way to recommend a great Sardinian restaurant for dinner, I enjoyed it tremendously. One of my best meals there! All in all, this was one of the best things that I did during my stay and I wish to come back soon. Thank you!Wonderful aperitivo tour

Thank you to Serena for her insider's view to the diverse and delicious Milan! If you are looking for unique, artisan, fresh Italian food, do not hesitate to reserve your tour. Our personal experience included highlights on the rich art and theater culture of Milan, while focusing on the fresh, traditionally produced food options from meats to sweets and wines. We had no idea so much time had flown by at the end of our tour. Our stomachs were full, and our arms were carrying the various treats we collected. Our tour granted us a taste of Italy and introduced us to places to purchase authentic Italian fare to share with our friends and family back at home. We are officially in love with Italia, and Serena was such a big influence in our new favorite travel destination!We are officially in love with Italia, and Serena

Serena war einfach klasse! Wir haben die Tour erst auf 19 Uhr gebucht, sodass einige der Tasting-Stopps bereits geschlossen hatten. Dennoch hat sich Serena beispielsweise die Mühe gemacht, schon vor Beginn der Tour die leckere italienische Schokolade zu besorgen. Serena zeigte uns schöne Straßen und Plätze in Brera und erklärte auch die Geschichte rund um verschiedene Gebäude, die auf dem Weg lagen. Natürlich konnte sie uns auch einige Empfehlungen für Restaurants und Bars geben. Serena hatte auf alle unsere Fragen eine Antwort, sodass nichts offen blieb. Abschließend möchten wir uns nochmal bei Serena für ihre freundliche, aufgeschlossene und sympathische Art danken. Es war ein toller Abend und es hat wirklich sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Tolle Tour!

I did a last-minute booking to do the Apperitivo Tour on my first visit to Milan. I am so glad I had Serena as my guide. Right away, I felt like I was spending an evening with a friend. Serena was so accommodating because I was by myself, she gave me the opportunity to choose how I’d like the tour to go after giving me the options. I didn’t really change anything from what I expected to have, and it turned out wonderful. She shared the interesting history of Milan and of course, learned a lot about the origins of the local classic Milan foods as we shared a very tasty spread of apperitivo! I absolutely recommend to anyone to do this food tour and to have Serena as your guide. Grazie Mille, Serena. Until we meet again! I felt like I was spending an evening with a friend

In occasione del nostro anniversario io e mio marito ci siamo regalati una serata davvero insolita Dopo aver visitato tante capitali intorno al mondo con persone locali volevamo scoprire di più della nostra città di Milano che si pensa di conoscere ma nasconde dei veri tesori. Grazie alla nostra piacevolissima accompagnatrice Serena abbiamo scoperto degli angoli preziosi così ricchi di storia di cultura e di vita facendoci vivere la città di Milano sotto occhi diversi pur avendo passeggiato per quelle vie così tante volte. Consigliamo questa esperienza e Serena saprà farvi vivere un angolo di Milano come non l’avevate mai conosciuta!!!Un aperitivo scoprendo Milano
