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.

Francesco paced the tour perfectly and provided enough information and ‘fat’ to bring life and context to this wonderful collection. I’d highly recommend Francesco for his ability to pitch the talk and connect at a personal level. He constantly invited us to pitch in, ask questions and taught us how to look at art.

Great evening
We attended Francesca's for the evening meal. I had previously informed her that my wife had various intolerances to certain food and take that into consideration when preparing our menu. The food and her company were fantastic. I would highly recommend her to any person who would be considering a home meal cooked by a local.
