Sightseeing in Milano - We had an excellent sightseeing tour in Milan! Salvatore was incredibly knowledgeable, providing insights far beyond the usual “standard” information. Each stop felt enriching as they shared in-depth historical and cultural details, making the experience truly unique and memorable. We left with a much deeper appreciation of Milan. Highly recommended!

Off the beaten path-Milan - We had an amazing time with Salvatore. He is an expert guide with great insight to the hidden treasures of Milan. After the cathedrals and museums it was fun to see a different side of Milan in the Navigli neighborhood. He took us all over town and showed us sights we would never have experienced without him. We had so much fun! It was exactly the type of tour we were looking for. It is a “not to miss” experience!

an entertaining walk through the lesser known parts of Milan - Salvatore is a knowledgeable and entertaining guide to the history and culture of Milan. We walked through the Navigli district and then through the Porta Nuova area. He has a dry sense of humour and adapts well to the group in front of him. The 2 1/2 hours flew by!

Great tour guide for first visit to Milan - Our first time in Milan, so we booked to Salvatore to give us some insights. He did a great job, not only from various historical perspectives, but also cool neighborhoods to visit. Beyond the Navigli area, we also went to Porta Nuova to see new architectures which we also loved.

Interesting part of Milan - We lost the paper where to meet and without Wi-Fi could not view the tour. Salvatore was very kind and came and found us at the wrong location. He did not let it ruin the tour but instead we carried on snd had a great tour of a very interesting part of Milan with Roman influence, canals, nightlife etc. I recommend this tour and Salvatore very highly.

Fun and detailed Milan experience - Fabulous two hours with Salvatore He is very knowledgeable and found some interesting things for us to see including fashion, food, architecture and history. Salvatore was able to adapt and modify the plan on the day when circumstances required

Great overview of Milan - Salvatore was wonderful. We visited the canals and the futuristic city—both a must when in Milan. Walking these areas gave me a great perspective as to where we were in the city, and frankly, I really wish I had done this tour in the beginning of my visit. We also rode the subway together, again a nice learning experience. He was talkative, but not hyper—a nice leisurely stroll with lots of history and information.

A great addition to my Milan trip - Thank you so much Alessandro! A fantastic tour and for the time it felt like I was with a friend walking around and chatting but soaking up the sites. A highly recommended tour and guide!

Lack of information and enthusiasm - The tour guide was not enthusiastic and did not provide any in depth knowledge on the history of the city or at any of the stops. We traveled on the underground train and used our own passes. There was no conversation in between the stops unless we initiated it. The tour was expensive and not a good value for your money

Waste of time - Guide was knowledgeable but dull. We would have been much better off without her. Totally inappropriate level of gory detail for our kids (how people bleed to death and starve in the sun slowly when crucified… the level of sexual violence in Italy etc) Guide was not Italian. Waste of time.
