Highly Recommend

We absolutely loved our tour with Sara in Milano! The whole process was super easy from booking to chatting in the app, everything was smooth and well-organised. What I really appreciated was how flexible it was; we could tailor the tour to suit our interests, which made it feel like we were just exploring the city with a local friend. My friend and I did Treasures Tour, a mix of fashion, history, and shopping (with a Caffè Crema and Prosecco break thrown in!) and it was brilliant. Sara is incredibly knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, and so generous with her time. She knows exactly where to go and in what order to make the most of your time, which is such a bonus when you’re visiting a big city like Milano. We bought, bags, belts, clothes and swimwear. Saw amazing architecture and fashion museums. It was great value and such an enjoyable way to discover the fashion district and beyond. Highly recommend and would absolutely book with her again!

Knowledgeable, accommodating

We had a lovely evening with Francesca with tastings while touring Milan. Our flight was very delayed and we couldn't make our original booking time. Francesca kindly rearranged her schedule so that we could still experience the tour during our 2 days in Milan. Had a great time!!

Soul of Milan in a Truly Memorable Guide

From our first meeting with Caterina, it was clear we were in capable hands. Warm, engaging, and full of enthusiasm, she didn’t just show us around Milan—she helped us understand it in a deeper, more personal way. Caterina’s love for her city shines through in everything she shares. Her knowledge of Milan’s history and culture is extensive, but it’s her ability to weave it into a compelling, human narrative that really sets her apart. Rather than a list of facts, you get a genuine sense of what makes the city tick. What makes her especially effective is her instinct for connection. Caterina has a natural ability to read what her guests will enjoy and adapt the experience accordingly. It felt more like spending time with an incredibly insightful friend than being on a typical guided tour. She captures the essence of La Dolce Vita—not as a performance, but in the way she moves through her city: • Passionate yet grounded • Well-informed without being overwhelming • Warm, gracious, and entirely present This wasn’t just a tour; it was a reminder of why we travel in the first place—to connect, to learn, and to be inspired. If you're looking for a guide who can bring Milan to life in a personal and meaningful way, Caterina is an outstanding choice. You'll leave with more than just knowledge—you'll leave with a lasting sense of connection to the city. Michael & Angela

We really enjoyed our tour with Sara. She is passionate about fashion, Milan and beauty in general. She customized the tour and took us to areas of Milan we would never have seen otherwise. It was on of the highlights of our time in Milan. Thank you Sara!
