      Wonderful tour with Sara

      "My husband and I really enjoyed our tour with Sara. Sara is a true local with so much historical and interesting knowledge about Milan. She helped us see things we wouldn't have seen without her. We would love to do another tour with Sara sometime. "

      A refreshing adventure on a very hot day

      "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! "

      Charming and Knowledgeable Guide!

      "My wife and I had a lovely tour with Francesca! Having toured parts of Milan on a previous visit, we decided to take her \"Off the Beaten Path\" tour and explore the Navigli district. She was flexible to meet us at a convenient location and provided such an insightful and informative tour. We met some wonderful local artisans that with which Francesca has a warm relationship, which made for a special and insightful tour. "

      It was a blast with Francesca

      "We booked two tours with Francesca (\"Full Coverage\" and \"Off the Beaten Track\"). It was wonderful. Francesca knows Milan very well, has a high level of historical and cultural knowledge, and conveys it excellently. She was very flexible, and especially during the \"Off the Beaten Track\" tour, we saw places in Milan that we wouldn't have found otherwise. We highly recommend Francesca. Thank you!"

We glimpsed the behind the scenes of past lives and occupations as well as modern Milan. Thanks so much, Francesca for a wonderful tour."

      Dont think about it! DO IT!

      "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!"

      Off the beaten track Milan

      "We had an amazing time with Salvatore. He is an expert guide with great insight to the hidden treasures of Milan. After the cathedrals and museums it was fun to see a different side of Milan in the Navigli neighborhood. He took us all over town and showed us sights we would never have experienced without him. We had so much fun! It was exactly the type of tour we were looking for. It is a “not to miss” experience!"

      Warm hospitality and a delicious meal

      "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 ! "

      Great local guide for Milan

      "Our first time in Milan, so we booked to Salvatore to give us some insights. He did a great job, not only from various historical perspectives, but also cool neighborhoods to visit. Beyond the Navigli area, we also went to Porta Nuova to see new architectures which we also loved. "
