This was our second tour with Federica and we would join her again the next time we are in town. She is highly knowledgeable about the history and art of Florence. We definitely would recommend Frederica!

Magical memories in Milan
Caterina was absolutely amazing!! She was very accommodating for my mom and me when we arrived in Milan after an 8 hour red eye flight and even adjusted the tour after we were able to secure last minute tickets to the last supper! Caterina knows all the ins and outs of the city she calls home, 10/10 would recommend!!

This was my second tour with Sara, this time with my husband for her Hidden Gems tour. It was just as brilliant as the first. We met at the Duomo, wandered through the charming Brera district, and explored Castello Sforzesco while soaking up its rich history. Plus much more.
Sara’s knowledge of art and history is exceptional, she brings everything to life with warmth and insight. A highlight was our coffee stop at Marchesi 1824 on Via Santa Maria alla Porta; the original location founded in 1824 and now beautifully preserved by the Prada Group. Sipping espresso and nibbling biscotti in Milan’s oldest pasticceria felt like stepping back in time. This was a highlight.
Sara knows all the tucked-away treasures and how to pace the time perfectly. Truly the best way to experience Milano, like being shown around by a local friend. Highly recommend.
I’ll be back next year with a friend and let’s SHOP!!
