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

We did 2 tours with Francisco (hidden gems & tastings). Our ages were 29-72. Everyone in the group absolutely loved both tours. Honestly, they were the most memorable experiences we had in Milan! He was interesting, funny & full of so much incredible history & information! 2 tours just wasn’t enough time with this wonderful man. Francisco, thank you! thank you! Thank you! for making our time in Milan so amazing! Don’t do Milan without Francisco!

This evening was a highlight of my stay in Milan. Francesca and her sister Alessandra hosted a delightful, relaxed evening at their home just a few minutes walk from the centre of the city. We developed the menu together when I booked, and I enjoyed a delicious three course meal of home made pumpkin ravioli, Osso buco and home made flourless chocolate cake. Francesca was very keen to make a meal I enjoyed. We had a lovely evening and I got to experience a genuine Milanese home, learn more about the lifestyle here, and meet two really interesting, warm people. Highly recommended ! Warm hospitality and a delicious meal

We had great time with Francesco, he is a very entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide. We learned a lot about history of Milan and Italy during the tour, and saw many interesting locations. Those 2 hours flew by, we were also able to ask some general questions about Milan and even share some food recipes. Overall, highly recommended. If you are looking for some fun, but also valuable tour, you cannot go wrong with Francesco. Great tour with amazing guide

Francesco is an excellent guide. His English is easy to understand. He was engaging and clearly knew his history and Florentine food. I would not hesitate to book him again. Excellent guide
