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!
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!
I had an exceptional first-day experience with Salvatore. He graciously dedicated his time to showing me some fascinating places and sharing valuable insights. Overall, Salvatore was sincere, courteous, and a pleasure to engage with. He is an individual of remarkable knowledge and intellect, capable of delving into various facets of life and providing insights into the social, cultural, and economic progress of Milan and Italy. I am truly grateful for his role in creating such a delightful initial impression of Milan, and I wholeheartedly endorse him as a considerate and genuine individual to embark on a tour with. Thank you, Salvatore!
Alessandro was so fun to walk with. It was at a relaxed pace and no rushes. The tour covered most of the landmarks to see in Milan. And had us wowed towards the end when we saw the Duomo. He also took us to spots that were off the beaten paths. We truly enjoyed it! Thank you so much Alessandro!
