We chose Francesca for this tour and so glad we did. She was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. My husband injured his knee and she was very mindful of his comfort. Her knowledge of Milan’s history is vast. We learned so much. She brought us to churches as this was our interest. We strolled through a lovely botanical garden. It happened to be fashion week so we detoured to the high end designer shopping district to window shop. She found a terrific cafe for lunch with the most delicious paninis. If you choose Francesca for this tour you will not be disappointed!This is a Great Start to Tour Milan!

Francesca is an excellent guide and is hugely knowledgable about history, politics and the history of art. We covered a lot of ground in our three hours with her both literally and metaphorically (lots of questions asked and answered). She gave us a fantastic recommendation for lunch in Brera allowing us to avoid tourist restaurants. Good overview of Milan

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++

Francesca was an excellent communicator from the start, answering all my messages and requests very promptly. She met me at the exact time and location that I requested. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Milan and took me to many points of interest, hidden museums and churches that I would’ve missed. She also informed me about many cultural aspects of Milan including the food and fashion scene. Very enjoyable 3 hours. Efficient crash course on Milan, since I had very limited time Perfect day

Francesca is knowledgeable about Milan's history and its impact on language, cuisine, and culture. We toured in the Brera area and had several staples that all hit the spot: focaccia pizza, charcuterie and wine, cappuccino and hot chocolate, gelato, cannoli, and cannoncini. A great way to spend an afternoon early in our visit!Wonderful, informative, captivating

During our recent trip to Milan we had the pleasure of being guided by Francesca for a 3 hour tour of the city. She is a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide with a passion for the city's history, culture and art. The tour balanced iconic landmarks like the Duomo and Sforza Castle with hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own. If you are visiting Milan for the first time and want an introduction to this beautiful city, we highly recommend booking a tour with Francesca.Wonderful Tour Guide in Milan

We have been to Milan quite a few times, but always explored the city on our own. Having a special occasion during the last trip to Italy, we decided to try something different, though. Choosing a tour of Milan’s best food spots with Francesca was absolutely right. Great places to see and visit, amazing food and wonderful company made our day. We discovered the city from the other angle and saw it with a local’s eyes. Definitely recommend to anyone coming to Milan!A pleasant day in Milan

Francesca took me & my 2 teen daughters around town. It was the first full day we were in Italy & it was good to have the tour then so we could ask questions about Italy early on. Francesca knows a lot of history of Italy & kept it interesting & just the right pace. She took us around the outskirts of Duomo, the beautiful historical library, the castle (so beautiful!), a bakery, & lots of other places. You can tell her what you would like to see & she can customize. Great tour

Our group of 4 adults, 3 teens, 1 kid enjoyed our outing with Salvatore. He was low key funny and patient as we took photos, asked questions, went to the bathroom, had tired feet and were distracted by the shops and architecture of Milan. We enjoyed his insights into old and new Milan. He took us to the new district which was fascinating. Relaxed family tour

We asked Salvatore to plan a unique tour because we have been to Milan a number of times and we wanted to visit new places. Salvatore achieved that goal perfectly. The 4 hour tour flew by ( and normally I get bored easily). He showed us the past, present and the future of Milan, including some very helpful information* along the way. It never once felt like he was reading a script either. * He explained how to use the subway and what to do if our ticket didn't work. The very next day we put both parts of that vital information to use. I would highly recommend any tour with him. Great information in an interesting way.

We had a three hours guided tour in the center of Milan. Francesca knows all the hidden places where you might not come as tourist in Milan. We made a stop at Marchesi, famous for the best Panetones and owned now by Prada, and had a great Panetone tasting. We saw ancient Roman remaining as well as hidden sideways and the castle. Very well and with deep and profound knowledge about history and culture presented. Francesca is really a full heart an experienced guide grown up in Milano. Thanks a lot. And we hope to meet again for a next tour when hopefully coming back to Milan. Baci. Angela & RolandGreat guid - great experience

We had an incredible experience with Salvatore ! Not only did they speak both English and Spanish fluently, making the tour enjoyable and accessible for everyone in our group, but their knowledge of Italian wines was outstanding. What really set them apart, though, were the excellent restaurant recommendations. He guided us to authentic spots away from the usual tourist crowds, where we enjoyed some of the best meals of our trip. Their passion for local culture and dedication to creating a personalized experience made this tour unforgettable. Highly recommend! Great guide

Francesca was prompt in meeting us at our hotel. My friend and I liked it that she began our tour with a brief overview of the history of Milan. I've visited the city many times with friends but this was the first time that I have seen the tucked away treasures that I have walked past several times. Our time passed quite quickly, we truly enjoyed it mostly because Francesca is such a kind, knowledgable person. This is her city, she grew up here. We really were with a local! Highly recommend this tour. Delightful!

We loved our tour with Francesca. She is friendly, knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor and loves Milan. We had a great time. Equally important - I had contacted Francesca several times prior to our trip with various questions about the practicalities of navigating Milan. She went above and beyond in offering suggestions including checking out options regarding a yoga studio. I will be back in Milan with another set of friends next spring and am already looking forward to spending another day in the beautiful city of Milan with Francesca.Fantastic!
