Citysightseeing provides a pretty straightforward experience - you get on the bus with the audioguide for the major landmarks and districts you'll see. It saves you so much time from having to walk from place to place. While you won't get the intimate experience of every place, it does allow you as a traveler to gloss through each part of town. In my case, Milan has 4 bus lines reaching out to all parts of the city. I know for sure when I travel abroad again I'll be using Citysightseeing's services. The 24, 48 and 72 hour passes provide flexibility.

The tour guide was absolutely fantastic. Showed us all the “check list “ places that a newcomer needs to visit, also explained to the very end details/answered all of our questions. Would highly recommend worth every penny!

Our guide Lara was wonderfully informative, interested in answering questions and gave many valuable insights into Milanese culture and history. I would certainly recommend this tour.

The tour guide was friendly and extremely well-informed. I have never done this kind of thing before but it was totally worth the money. Thank you for a great experience!

This took me much longer than the recommended two hours to view, but it was wor to the extra time.
