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.

We are a family of four and we visited Milan in June 2025. Our boys are 11 years old and we wanted to organise a tour around Milan and the Navigli area that would be interesting to them and fun. Francesco rose to the challenge. On an extremely hot day, he managed to take us around the city and give us a very interesting aspect of the sights adjusting the content to his audience. He is a very knowledgeable guide that extends beyond the history to the details and stories behind the scenes that make all the difference. Our tour ended at an amazing trattoria that he had booked for us to have lunch which we would never have found out on our own. Thank you! A refreshing adventure on a very hot day

Francesco is een aardige gids met een grote kennis van de geschiedenis en cultuur van Milaan en daarover boeiend en enthousiast vertelt en ook leuke anekdotes deelt. In heel duidelijk Italiaans dat wij (als buitenlanders die al jaren Italiaanse les hebben) prima konden volgen. Zeer aan te bevelen!Interessante rondleiding in Milaan!

We took a Milan Food tasting tour and Hidden Gems of Milan with Francesco and must say it was our favorite tour of our trip! His sense of humor, knowledge and personality made the tour a family favorite. The 4 restaurants he took us to was by far the best food we had while visiting Milan. We can’t say enough good things about Francesco and his companion. By the end, not only had we had a great tour and full belly, but also a good friend!Dont think about it! DO IT!

Francesco is a very enthusiastic and well-spoken guide. He obviously knows everything there is to know about Milan, especially historical legends. We enjoyed both his anecdotes and small quizzes, making the historical tales lively. We are not sure if "Hidden gems" is the right title for this tour, as it mainly focused on the Duomo, Gallery and Sforza castle, but of course with very interesting new details:) Legends and humour
