My family recently had the pleasure of joining a walking tour in Milan with Salvatore as our guide, and it was an unforgettable experience. Salvatore's immense knowledge of the city, both its new and old sections, truly brought Milan to life. His easy-going nature made the tour enjoyable and engaging, allowing us to explore the city's rich history and modern developments at a comfortable pace. From the stunning architecture of the historic center to the vibrant energy of the new districts, Salvatore provided fascinating insights and stories that enriched our understanding of Milan. He even gave us wonderful recommendations for lunch and dinner! I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the diverse beauty of this incredible city with a guide who is both passionate and well-informed. A++

We had a great time with Salvatore. We met up in the modern area of Milano, and he took us through the development of the area and linked it quite elegant to the historical parts of the city, the mindset of the people and the importance of beauty and good food. Thanks Salvatore!A mix of modern and older parts of Milano

We booked a special tour to learn more inside information and not just the typical tourist information. Our tour was for 2 hours. We learned about the different faces of Milan and visited multiple parts of the city. He told nice little facts and gave tips for the next days of our visit. He was very kind, but his enthousiasm could have been a bit more enthousiastic. Knows Milan very well, professional

His knowledge of the city went beyond the typical tourist spots, sharing fascinating tidbits that added a special touch to our exploration. Salvatore's friendly demeanor and willingness to answer our questions made the tour both informative and enjoyable.

Francesca gave us Newcomers a good orientation of the inner city of Milan which we visited just for a couple of hours. She pointed out historical, cultural and geographical aspects of the city. After she ended the tour we felt, that we would want to come back for more detailed experiences. We enjoyed Francesca, her pragmatic and friendly way of taking us along on the tour.

Francesca was a great guide! It was our first time in Italy and second day in Milan. We mistakenly booked Francesca for the wrong day and she kindly rearranged her afternoon to make it happen for us - she was super flexible - Thank You again Francesca. She took the time to explain many architectural and historical facts that we would have not been aware of, and took the time to walk us down different locations. Would recommend anyone seeking great information about Milan architecture and other little secrets about the city to take a walk with Francesca. Tour with Francesca

We are grateful to Salvatore for the amazing tour of Milan. He absolutely went above and beyond to show us his beautiful city. He took his time to show us many of the popular tourist spots as well as the several impressive modern and environmentally friendly buildings. He showed us how to use Milan's extensive subway system, and we took the subway & tram easily for the rest of our stay. His pizza restaurant recommendation for our first dinner was right on spot. If you are going to take your first trip to Milan, do yourself a favor and let Salvatore take you around.Fantastic start to our vacation

Francesca did a fantastic job although time was limited due to our hectic travel schedule. She waited for us patiently at the railway station and even came to the station later to bid goodbye to all of us. She took us to the most iconic places in Milan, including a nice restaurant for lunch and explained everything in detail. She is very knowledgeable and a friendly person. Will definitely use her services again in future. A Well Organised Tour and A Perfect Host

Highlights of old and new Milan!

Francesca gave us a wonderful tour of Milan. We picked 7 pm, thinking it would be cooler, thus some places were already closed. Yet, it was not super crowded and we could move with ease. Francesca gave us the knowledge we were craving about Milan (architects, design, places to eat, etc.) and yet kept us moving. This was a short tour 1.5 hours and I am so impressed with all that she shared in such a short amount of time. I would have never seen all that I saw had it not been for Francesca. I appreciate her knowledge and spirit, what a joy to be in conversation with throughout the walk. Thank you!Thank you!

We throughly enjoyed are exploration of the new and the old in Milan! Milan is unique with modern skyscrapers combining with old world charm. Francesca was engaging and entertaining and took us to some very creative shops with fantastic goods and then to some quiet gardens and an old monastery with several gorgeous gardens. She also gave us a recommendation for dinner that proved to be the best in Milan so far! She showed us a piece of Milan that we may have missed. She was excellent! Surprising!

Salvatore started the tour on the square with skyscrapers showing the new side of Milan. Since we organized the tour with some of our customers, which are all within the building industry, this was very nice. After this he showed the old city of Milan including the castle, which we never knew Milan had. We had a very nice tour and learned a lot of new things about the city.Tour showing different sides of Milan

We really didn’t know what to expect when we signed up for a tour with withlocals. We met Alice at the designated spot in Porta Nuova. She was so happy to meet us and so friendly and just established an immediate connection. We then spent a wonderful 90 minutes walking around Milan where Alice pointed out all of the sites and gave us a history lesson as well starting from Roman times up to present day. We did not know anything about Milan before we came and we can walk away saying that we have a much better idea of how important Milan is to Italy and its place in the world. We heartily recommend Alice for any kind of tour or information gathering. She is very special!Alice is exceptional!
