Fabiana – PortugalNovember 6, 2023 – Verified booking

My visit to the Ambrosiana Pinacoteca exceeded my expectations in many ways. The guide spoke Portuguese, which was a pleasant surprise and made the experience more accessible. Their knowledge of the art was impressive, and they guided us through the main masterpieces with great enthusiasm. However, it's important to note that if you're not particularly interested in art or don't enjoy delving into too many details, this tour might not be your cup of tea. The guide's in-depth explanations and passion for the subject matter might be overwhelming for some.
