"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! "
"Our time in Milan was limited and Sara was the perfect guide to give us a feel for many points of interest and provide the history and cultural significance of each stop along our tour. Sara was engaging and spoke passionately about her experiences in Milan. She gave us a great recommendation for lunch and happy hour. We would absolutely recommend Sara be your guide to Milan."
"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!"
"Salvatore provided a great foundation for our visit to Milan. He introduced us to much of the geography of the City and also its history. And he imparted much local knowledge about traveling around Milan."
"Omar went above and beyond to ensure a great tour! He was friendly, professional, and funny, which made for a fun and engaging experience! I would 100% use Omar again for a tour in the future! "
"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! "
