Sara did an amazing job creating a tailored Milan shopping experience for my wife Rachel. It was one of many highlights of our week-long trip to northern Italy. Rachel loved the tour of the fashion hot spots including Italian designers and some of the more local shops. Another highlight was a quick stop in the Portrait hotel. According to Rachel, Sara was full of helpful advice, tons of local knowledge, and loads of fun! Thank you Sara and WithLocals for a great last day of our tour!My wife loved her afternoon with Sara!

This my first time using this platform and definitely no regrets at all. Sara, my lovely guide was very kind to accommodate to my changes due to work meetings. (Thank you 🙏🏼☺️) She brought me around the whole area of Brera district and gave me some really insightful tips and introduced to me some streets and shops that I probably wouldn’t have passed by if I was walking around on my own. I also very much appreciated visiting the Museo and Galleries. What a passionate individual about the fashion and arts industry! So glad that she catered to some of my requests so it’s a great blend between sightseeing, understanding the industry in Milan culture and also a little bit of shopping too. From modern shops to vintage markets, it was just splendid. We even managed to squeeze in to sit down a nice chat over a nice wine and some nice cheese and ham, exchanging our cultures and sharing experiences in life. Definitely recommend Sara as your guide if you want an insightful, down to earth and engaging guided tour! Not regrets at all!

We booked a custom fashion outlet tour from 8 hours and loved every second off it. We saw so much of Milan and all the great outlets and special little stores. Because off and thanks to the experience off Sara we were able to make great deals on the most interesting pieces. Besides that we got so much info about brands, stores and interesting places we passed by. We had little (requested) breaks in best local places and got a lot off tips on stores and places we could visit the next day on our own. Its a tour and guide we can recommend to book because we would not find all these places on our own. When we visit Milan again we will book Sara again for an other great day. Sara, thanks so much for everything Excellent experience

We were extremely lucky to have seen Milan's fashion district with Sara. A former model and stylist at several design studios, Sara was able to weave us in and out of some really interesting designer clothing, furniture and vintage shops.

Sara was one of the best guides we have ever experienced. She was extremely knowledgeable about Milan. Her passion for the fashion industry was palatable. She walked the streets which such grace while sharing her stories of her modeling career. She not only showed us the local boutiques but also the higher end concept stores. She was a sheer delight! As a bonus she provided us with 2 restaurants which were out of this world. As a family we truly enjoyed the experience and if you are In Milan this is a must with Sara!

My daughter and I spent a great morning shopping with Sara in Milan. Sara knew all the best spots to shop for italian brands at a great price and was so helpful in suggesting styles for us to try. If you are new to Milan Sara can take you to some great stores that you won't know exist. You will need a extra bag to take home your goodies though! Tx Sara! Great morning shopping in Milsn

My 12 year old daughter and I had an amazing afternoon with Sara. She is so personable and by the end of the tour we felt like old friends:-) We started at the Prada store in the Galleria where she gave us history and information on the inner workings of the fashion industry. We continued on to many of the major fashion houses such as Versace, Gucci and Armani learning about them as well. Then after visiting the stores she took us to several fashion outlets with 50-70% off the designer label prices. She even took us to Istituto Marangoni -The School of Fashion so my daughter could visit a possible future school which really motivated her. We even stopped for a coffee and a pastry at Marchesi a pasticceria owned by Prada. What a treat!! The cakes on display there were works of art. It was just a wonderful afternoon!! We really loved Sara and look forward to coming back again to Milan in the future!!Our amazing afternoon with Sara (Mom and 1

When I was visiting Milan on business I wanted to know more about the fashion capital of the world. So, I looked around a few fashion Tour's and most were the typical tourist (group) ones. When I first booked Sara, at first I was expecting the typical big group tours around the store's but this is anything but!! It was a personal one-one individual walk around Milan. Sara went above and beyond my expectations and what I predicted the tour would be. This wasn’t a stereotypical tour this was a very personal and an insightful walk about the major fashion store's, Brands and History about Milan. The tour, if you call it a 'tour’ was so amazing it didn't feel like a tour it felt more of a walk about with a friend. It was only meant to last 2 hours but Sara went above and beyond as it wasn't timed, it wasn’t rushed, it lasted the entire afternoon and it was very personal. I felt we shared a common ground and understanding of what both our expectations were with regards to Milan and FASHION! She is truly an exceptional individual as she knows exactly what she is talking about, ask her anything and she will have an answer, why... because she is REAL as she's been there did that, making her the best person for the job. By the end of the day I felt like we were friend's that had known each other for years as I enjoyed it so much! I left with more then I needed for my article, blog and most of all my client's if I were to bring them to Milan again. I would recommend Sara with the highest upmost regards possible to anyone I would meet. I walked away with the fondness memories and experience.Outstanding and Insightful

Me and my 12 year old daughter had a wonderful time with Sara. She showed us the best outlets but also took us into the high end designer stores like Prada and Rick Owens. It was obvious that we would never buy anything there, but Sara knew everybody, taught us soms fashion history, made it fun to visit this exclusive world of high fashion and even made us feel welcome there. She also took us for the best coffee and a walk to the beautiful Milan Art Academy. Sara is very nice and fun to be with. The four hours passed very quickly. And in the end we bought some great items that will always remind us of Milan and the shopping tour with sara.Great shopping & fun

Sara did a wonderful job showing us around and was so much fun to be with. She even gave us dinner recommendations for the next city we were visiting. We really enjoyed our time with her. Sara even helped us with a major problem. My husband had left his cell phone in the taxi we took to meet her. She was able to help us with that and keep us all calm. She’s great! A great time

This is an excellent experience for those interested in shopping for Italian clothing and fashion. Sara was very friendly and knowledgeable about the latest trends in clothing. She has lived in Milan for quite some time and gave us some of the history of the Milan fashion scene. We met up at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and from there did a lot of walking and hopped on a few buses to look for the best deals. Upon request we did check out Gucci and Prada to compare prices. Sara is well traveled and speaks English fluently. She had a lot of connections and the inside scoop on where to go in search of a deal. Walking shopping tour of Milan

I asked for a fashion tour and personal shopping assistant. Sarah was good company and brought us to many interesting places. I was disappointed in her assistance as in outlet stores she was mostly focused on finding something for herself and therefore (with acception of guiding us) a poor personal assistant.Fashion & outlet store

I was spending a couple of days in Milan, travelling alone and decided to book this tour with Sara from Withlocals to get a real experience and it didn't let me down. Sara was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and very generous with her time. She had great ideas and we went different shopping outlets.

Walking around Milan with Sara was a great way to experience the city. Sara has a background in fashion and knows so much about the history and the places in and around the Golden Triangle, and still has a wonderful sense of enjoyment and appreciation as she leads you around. Plus she has also been a personal shopper so she has a great sense of style. (I bought a new coat!) As a bonus, she'll not only take you to the flagship stores, she also knows where to get the deals. Like spending the day with an old friend

We came to visit Italy for the Christmas break and unfortunately our youngest got sick on the flight over. If it wasn’t for Sara who stepped in and helped us find a doctor to get her prescription, it would’ve been a much more difficult trip. Sara is kind, friendly, willing to go the extra mile for everybody And has such a great knowledge about the city. I feel as though we made a friend!Sara is the best!

Sara was an amazing tour guide. There were two of us that got to experience her many talents. She taught us about the history of fashion, design inspiration, many local and famous designers and we even got to tour a small shoe company and watch how shoes were made. Everywhere we walked in the fashion community, people knew Sara. She was well known and respected. Sara went out of her way to enrich our lives with her love of fashion and its history. We saw a fashion museum, the homes of designers, the place where fashion week is held and we also enjoyed stories and pictures of Sara when she was a model in her younger years. She worked an extra hour beyond her schedule because she wanted to; out of love for her craft. Sara was an incredible tour guide. I felt as though I made a new friend. What a gift!An Unforgettable Experience

I was visiting Milano with my son for a technical conference. We arrived before the conference to have time to see some sites together. We signed up for the Milan City Tour with Sara. What a wonderful tour guide in selecting Sara! She is extremely knowledgeable about the city, its sites, history, and fashion insight. Her knowledge of the Milan fashion scene and shopping around the city center made me wish for more shopping time and a larger suitcase :). It was extremely hot that day, and Sara made sure that we had places to refresh our water. Thank you, Sara, for all the recommendations for sightseeing, the link for the 1st Sunday free museum openings, the visit to the Castle, and all the time you took to make sure we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Sara is a treasure!!Sara is a Milano treasure!!

I had the pleasure of experiencing a walking tour of Milan, Italy with the incredible Sara as our guide, and I must say, it was an absolute delight. Sara's extensive knowledge of the city's history was truly impressive. She effortlessly weaved captivating stories and anecdotes, bringing the rich cultural heritage of Milan to life. My daughter will be studying in Milan next year and Sara showed us how to navigate the city and even showed us how to get to the University. What set Sara apart was her ability to not only show us the popular sights but also unveil hidden gems that we would have otherwise missed. From iconic fashion landmarks to traditional Milanese spots, Sara left no stone unturned in showcasing the true essence of the city. Her passion for Milan was infectious, and it was evident that she had done her research to provide us with a well-rounded experience. And I must mention that at the very moment that I was walking up to Sara to introduce myself and my family to her I tripped and fell down and she rushed over to help me with real concern in her eyes. This woman is full of love and compassion. Sara's kindness, knowledge and genuine nature truly made the tour exceptional. She went above and beyond to make us feel like family, ensuring that our needs were met and that we were comfortable throughout the tour. Her warmth and sincerity made the experience all the more memorable. I have no hesitation in recommending Sara as a tour guide for anyone visiting Milan. Whether you're interested in history, fashion, or simply exploring the city's hidden treasures, Sara is the perfect guide to make your experience unforgettable. I can confidently say that I will be reaching out to her again for future tours, as her expertise and genuine personality truly made a difference. Thank you, Sara, for an incredible journey through Milan!Sara is the BEST tour guide EVER!

She customized the tour for me and gave some great context on the legacy fashion houses and upcoming designers, exploring unique corners where fashion shoots are held, and other secret spots. We also mixed in some shopping too and am very excited for my new outfits. Also a special callout for helping me navigate a pharmacy to get some help with a minor eye issue!
