We enjoyed a walking tour with Davide yesterday. He was very friendly, easy to talk with, and he fielded our questions about all kinds of things in Como and the region. The tastings were great - we especially liked the stop in the shop where they featured their own cheese. It was a good way to see the heart of the city and then get additional advice on what else to see and do.A terrific, friendly guide

We had a great tour with Davide. It was a good balance between a tour of the city of Como, a variety of foods and the quantity of food. We went to places we would not have found ourselves. The quantity of food was right -- we had enough but not too much. Davide also gave us an excellent suggestion on where to have dinner.Great food tour & some history of the city

The first thing that worked with this guide is the chemistry! He will make sure you are connected and relax. Very nice nice pleasing and have great knowledge of the area - fantastic choices of stops for local delicacies and to its totality pleasant. We had fun doing his 10 tastings tour as the experience is a good mix of cultural and gastronomical education of the place. For sure we will remember Como as one of the best places we have visited in Italy and thanks to Alessandro by making this trip a memorable

After a little late start Alessandro more than made up for it with his really extensive knowledge of Como and it's rich history. We stopped to eat numerous times and enjoyed all of his choices, while learning about Como, the food and Alessandro himself who is a very smart and interesting person. Great tour lots of food and knowledge!

We enjoyed touring the historical sites but also walking through the streets, being educated about the architecture and culture. We had some interesting and fun conversations along the way.

We had the pleasure of having Francesca as our private guide during our visit to Milan, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the start, she was warm, respectful, and incredibly knowledgeable about her city.
We specifically requested a focus on the more modern parts of Milan, such as Porta Nuova, and Francesca delivered beautifully. Her deep understanding of both contemporary developments and the city’s history gave us a well-rounded and engaging tour. She answered every question my friend and I had with clarity and insight, and her passion for Milan truly shone through.
What stood out even more was her relaxed and generous attitude—she never rushed us or watched the clock, even when we went beyond our scheduled time. It was clear she cared more about giving us a meaningful experience than just completing a job.
Born and raised in Milan, Francesca is the perfect guide to help you explore and appreciate this fascinating city. We’re so glad we found her!Francasca an awesomt tour guide in Milan

Francesca took us to see so many different places within the city that we would never have discovered for ourselves. She answered all of our questions and went out of her way to help us with our self-guided plans. Thank you for an amazing tour, Francesca!The Best of Milan

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

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

My wife and I had a lovely tour with Francesca! Having toured parts of Milan on a previous visit, we decided to take her "Off the Beaten Path" tour and explore the Navigli district. 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!

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

We had a wonderful walk around the Navigli area 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. The history was very interesting but what we enjoyed the most was the high quality food tastings in a very up market area of Milano with the warm company of our guide. 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

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

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

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
