Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Spent several hours with Omar on an architecture tour. He could tailor to our questions on the fly and had some many interests that no question was really off the wall. "
"Sara is a great tour guide! Knows a lot about Milan and had so much fun learning about the history of Milan in a fun way, definitely showed some hidden gems that we were so surprised about :) despite of the weather (intense rain), she adjusted we had a great time! Thanks Sara! "
"Omar’s tour was informative, fun and very enlightening for us. Even though we had been to Milan before, Omar’s intricate knowledge of history and the finer establishments of the city added so much to our appreciation of Milan. He also made every effort to involve our 5 year old and make it fun for him as well. Thank you very much. "
"What a delightful experience spending the morning with Omar was!! We were fascinated by his knowledge of Milan and its history. We walked down streets that we would have passed by. We stood in the corners of the old market with our backs to each other and could hear the echo of our voices. Jeff couldn’t pass an archway without looking for the chariot grooves in the road! Thanks Omar"
"We had a great time with Claudia. She’s so upbeat and full of energy. Showed us so much in our 4 hours and she was kind enough to plan an itinerary for us for the next day"
"Sara was extremely patient with our children’s pace and questions (13,10,9,6). We were still feeling a bit jet legged and she was very knowledgeable and accommodating. "
"A small group of my colleagues and I took the Milan highlights tour with Omar - what an engaging and interesting time we had! Afterward, we all commented on how special it was. We even had a great lunch afterward at the restaurant he recommended. Highly recommend this tour with Omar!"
"Omar arrived on time and we had to modify our route because of The Milan Marathon. As Omar was professional he had no problem adapting our walk. I like the way he presented his knowledge - he did not talk at me or sound like Wikipedia. His information was conveyed in a very user friendly manner. . He introduced me to the different architectural periods in the city. It is hard to pick my favourite spot - but I think The Milan Sistine Chapel & a delectable pastry shop win. He pointed out churches & museums that I might like to visit later in the week. We finished our walk at The Castle & Omar gave me very comprehensive directions back to The Duomo. I thoroughly enjoyed my walking tour & would highly recommend Omar as a Guide. "
"Great experience kept the family engaged including my 2 two teenagers "
"Omar was one of the most engaging and knowledgeable guides I have met. His quick responses and prompts to help plan our tour was much appreciated and it resulted in wonderful tour. I highlighted a few things I wanted to see and like a master sushi chef he created an omakase of sights for us to feast upon. Thanks Omar!"
