His knowledge of history was impressive, and I was especially pleased with his fluent English, making everything easy to understand. In just 4 hours, we explored all the iconic landmarks, and I felt like I got a complete and enriching experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the must-see places with a knowledgeable guide. You won’t be disappointed!

My guide Francesco was excellent. I was the only person on the tour on a wet Friday in late January but Francesco still ran the tour as if there were 10 people. The tour was informative and we had some good food, an interesting insight into some of Milan’s local specialties. I enjoyed the tour, which lasted a couple of hours. Thank you Francesco.
