"Adriana talked about the history of fashion in Milan and then took us to see various boutiques. When I booked with her she wanted to know what we wanted out of the tour. My girlfriend was interested in local designers not found anywhere else but Milan. So Adriana asked information of what she may like and asked for Instagram to better understand my girlfriend and her style. So the tour had a purpose and Adriana was prepared. Wow! Not only does she give you a tour but if you want to buy something she helps with buying clothes in your budget and she’s also a personal stylist. She understands the individual and their style and also helps them put things together that maybe they had no idea can be done. Truly amazing clothes that she help my girlfriend pick out. A truly wonderful experience. If you open up and let her understand you she will surprise you and help transform you with just a few pieces of clothing. One key thing I left out was. The day before we took the tour, we walked by some boutiques but we felt a little intimidated wether by price or not knowing what we truly wanted and so we didn’t go inside any stores. Shopping with Adriana took that stress away. Made us feel confident and comfortable to try some of the clothes on no matter the store.
Let Adriana show you around and educate about the history of design and fashion. Or let her take the stress off of you and guide you through a transformation with the power of fashion through some unique clothing with your personality in mind."
"Thank you Mr Sze for the lovely tour of Milan. You were very friendly and knowledgeable of the history of Italian fashion. I enjoyed your use of local boutiques to visualize the process of Italian tailoring and its uniqueness. Although I unfortunately did not have much more time in Milan, I appreciated the many recommendations for additional places to visit and will keep them in mind for the future. Your tour felt personal and considerate of my specified interest, and you showed a genuine effort to connect with me as a person. I wish you success in your endeavors in Italy and hope to visit Milan again in the future. Grazie!"
"You can tell that fashion is Sze's passion. He was able to bring together history, art, and architecture together to contextualize the journey of how Milan became so pivotal to fashion. With Sze's knowledge, you learn how to recognize quality beyond just brands. It's also worth noting how pleasant and flexible and pleasant Sze is. We customized our tour by adding Villa Necchi and Sze was even able to provide the tour in Mandarin to accommodate my parents! "
"We had an amazing time touring the Duomo with Caterina, even in the midst of a torrential downpour! She took us up to the top, umbrellas in tow, and also gave us a great tour of the inside. Her English was amazing and we learned a lot. She also has a great sense of humor so it was really fun despite all 3 of us being soaked. We highly recommend Caterina for both a fun and informative tour!"
"We had the best time with Omar visiting the Duomo in Milan. He was professional, kind funny and so full of knowledge. His English was excellent and he was a pleasure to be around. He made me want to know more and more about the Duomo and Milan the city he loves. One of my favorite parts of our trip!"
"Caterina was a great host and knew all about the Duomo, communication leading to the tour was timely. We got some helpful hints on places to visit and see. Answered all my our questions and lots of information about the Duomo which I did not already know. Thanks for the tour."
"Francesca was a wonderful guide showing us beautiful Milan. We were interested in visiting vintage stores, and she brought us to several stores with amazing selections where we found some treasures. I highly recommend Francesca!"
