The Best of Milan
"We had a wonderful experience in Milan with Francesca as our guide! She is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and full of energy. Francesca took us to see so many different places within the city that we would never have discovered for ourselves. She answered all of our questions and went out of her way to help us with our self-guided plans. Thank you for an amazing tour, Francesca!"

Milan Highlights
"My wife and I only had one day to see many of the important sites in Milan. Our goal was to see the Duomo interior and rooftops, Sforza Castle, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and La Scala. Francesca and I messaged multiple times as we created a plan. She was always prompt and polite. The tour itself was wonderful. Fast and efficient. Francesca knows her way around the city and the made sure we hit the highlights are every stop. At La Scala, we were fortunate to see the beginning of an Opera rehearsal. Francesca is an experienced and excellent guide. I would definitely use her again. "

Great tour of Milan!
"We enjoyed our time with Francesca exploring and learning about Milan and its history. Francesca showed us hidden spots that you would walk right by without a guide. She was very informative, and gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip. Would definitely recommend a tour with Francesca to people coming to Milan! "

This is a Great Start to Tour Milan!
"We chose Francesca for this tour and so glad we did. She was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. My husband injured his knee and she was very mindful of his comfort. Her knowledge of Milan’s history is vast. We learned so much. She brought us to churches as this was our interest. We strolled through a lovely botanical garden. It happened to be fashion week so we detoured to the high end designer shopping district to window shop. She found a terrific cafe for lunch with the most delicious paninis. If you choose Francesca for this tour you will not be disappointed!"
