My wife and I only had one day to see many of the important sites in Milan. Our goal was to see the Duomo interior and rooftops, Sforza Castle, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and La Scala. Francesca and I messaged multiple times as we created a plan. She was always prompt and polite.
The tour itself was wonderful. Fast and efficient. Francesca knows her way around the city and the made sure we hit the highlights are every stop. At La Scala, we were fortunate to see the beginning of an Opera rehearsal. Francesca is an experienced and excellent guide. I would definitely use her again. Milan Highlights

We enjoyed our time with Francesca exploring and learning about Milan and its history. Francesca showed us hidden spots that you would walk right by without a guide. She was very informative, and gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip. Would definitely recommend a tour with Francesca to people coming to Milan! Great tour of Milan!

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!

We had an excellent 3 hours with Salvatore. We only had one day in Milan so needed an expert to show us the highlights in a short space of time. Salvatore did just that and told us amazing history and stories to bring things to life. He also takes amazing photos! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was interesting factual and Salvatore had amazing knowledge along with restaurant recommendations which were spot on! An excellent way to see the main sites

We had the best time with Omar visiting the Duomo in Milan. He was professional, kind funny and so full of knowledge. His English was excellent and he was a pleasure to be around. He made me want to know more and more about the Duomo and Milan the city he loves. One of my favorite parts of our trip!Amazing Omar!

Francesca is knowledgeable and a lot of fun. We were only in town for a day, so were looking to hit the highlights, and our tour was perfect for that. But on a longer visit, it would also have been a great tour to orient yourself before setting out to explore on your own.
Francesca managed to balance the interests of a 55-year-old and a 19-year-old. I highly recommend both her and Milan! Lovely Day in Milan

We had a brief stop over in Milan and when researching had found little other than Da’vinci’s Lords Supper of interest. We decided to try a kick start tour with Salvatore and it was fantastic. The tour covered the new and old Milan, the Sforzesco castle and canals we did not know existed. Salvatore was an excellent host and introduced us to an unexpected side of Milan.A great introduction to Milan

Despite Salvatores good knowledge about the city and places we visited it was not what we expected or booked. We booked a Navigli tour to get to know the area we were staying in but Navigli only was a very small part of the tour and it felt like Salvatore wasn’t really into the area, only telling us what we could have found online. The restaurant he recommended didn’t meet the expectations at all, felt like a tourist trap. Salvatore was very eager to visit a part of town we didn’t especially liked nor wanted to visit. It would have been better if he discussed the change of plans properly before the tour started. Not what I booked for

She was flexible to meet us at a convenient location and provided such an insightful and informative tour. We met some wonderful local artisans that with which Francesca has a warm relationship, which made for a special and insightful tour. Charming and Knowledgeable Guide!

My grandson (11) and I had a rainy day tour with Salvatore and it was a little difficult to hear with our rainhoods over our ears. Nevertheless, he provided interesting facts about Il Duomo, the Galleria, and the Castello Sforcesco. The highlight was Navigli, an area we did not know and thoroughly enjoyed. Salvatore was accommodating, accompanying us to Decathlon to buy soccer balls for my grandson and skipping part of his planned tour that would not have interested him. Interesting Tour

My husband and I had a great experience on our walking tour with Salvatore. He had three rules, if we had a question to ask, if we needed or wanted to stop for something let him know, if there was anything specific we wanted to see let him know.
Salvatore had many surprise viewing points throughout the tour that he had carefully curated for funny or historical stories…or both. He took a number of “Instagram worthy pictures” for us, and took us on the oldest tram in the city and the metro. He made sure to explain where we were going, how to use the transit, how much it cost and took the time to explain how we could get back to our hotels with transit or by foot. He even suggested an awesome bar for aperitivo and an additional attraction to see if we walked home.
I would highly recommend Salvatore if you are up for an entertaining and educational tour of Milano! Great tour of Milano with Salvatore!

We booked two tours with Francesca ("Full Coverage" and "Off the Beaten Track"). It was wonderful. Francesca knows Milan very well, has a high level of historical and cultural knowledge, and conveys it excellently. She was very flexible, and especially during the "Off the Beaten Track" tour, we saw places in Milan that we wouldn't have found otherwise. We highly recommend Francesca. Thank you!It was a blast with Francesca

Francesca is very sweet, super flexible with regards to meating point and in providing the information that we sought. We have visited the area many times before, but never focused on the historic and cultural aspects of Navigli. Now more enlightened, we look forward to returning another time.
Would definitely recommend joining Francesca for at stroll around the area. Tour of Navigli with Francesca

Our guide Francesca was both knowledgeable, interesting and kind.

We can thoroughly recommend this experience for those wanting a combination of culture, food and meet the locals. A true 'taste' of Milano.A cultural taste of Milano

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

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.
