Very accommodating with our travel delays- extremely thoughtful and helpful with our car. Perfect way to see Milan when you have limited time- very grateful for this experience.

Francesco was an excellent guide and contacted me months in advance to plan our tour. He focused on areas of my interest including the history, which was very important to me.

Picca took us on a fantastic tour and allowed us to choose options as we went along. I loved his flexibility. We got to learn about the history of different neighborhoods and meet locals. Picca was full of great recommendations and even helped us to make dinner reservations at a wonderful place on the Navigli. Would definitely tour with him again!

Very interesting and informative excursion. Unlike crowded bus tour this one is definitely tailored to your interest . Price is very reasonable for the time the guide spends for you. Francesco is local and very knowledgeable . My son 13 was very interested and focused for the whole time. If you never been to Milan, Francesco is the right guide to introduce you to the city!
