Outstanding food tour with amazing food and great guides - Guilia and Antonio were friendly and knowledgeable. Guilia shared lots of stories about the food, Milan and Italy. She made sure everyone was included in conversations. The tour was an excellent pace and Guilia and Antonio made sure we had enough water to drink in the heat.
The food was incredible - especially the Parma prosciutto and the gelato. We like how all the shops included in the tour had lots of local history.

Food and Facts in Beautiful Brera District - We loved our Brera district walking tour! The tour started out with some pizza and each subsequent stop was another course in a Milano meal. The food was excellent. The places we visited were all great and gave us an opportunity to visit the beautiful Brera district, far from the touristy cites. Our guide was lovely. She gave us not only a description of a Milano meal, and history of Milan in general, but also answered questions about seasonal foods in Milan and how she cooks with them. It was an informative and fun tour. I highly recommend!

Enjoyable food tour! - Had an enjoyable time with Antonio as our guide. He was informative and fun. The tour took us through areas of Brera and the tastings were delicious especially the risotto. The group was not too big and there was definitely enough food provided. No hesitation at all recommending this tour.

Scrumptious entertaining value for money - Meeting the Cotti family who run the 100 year old family store. The Cotti family were simply lovely to all us tourists. The host Paolo was a local Milano lady too who loved her city and food scene.

Great potential, average execution - Tour definitely has its highlights with enoteca visit, fantastic lasagne and great Parmigianino and prosciutto.
It also had it's weaker spots: average pizza and very weird aperitif from plastic cup.
Guide was just ok. She even managed to lose two of us at some point. She never realized we're not with the group, by blind luck we've found our group.
It feels really like missed opportunity of showing this fantastic districts.
