One Day in Milan - We had an amazing day together with Sara in Milan. Her knowledge of both fashion and art history made for the perfect combination of fashion, style, design, art galleries,history and food in Milan. We had only one day in Milan and would never have had the experiences and created the memories we did without spending the day with Sara. Sara is an outstanding guide who we would very highly recommend.

Fascinating tour - Francesca took us to lots of vintage stores we'd never have found, and told us about local designers and fabric shops. We saw a different side to Milan. Very enjoyable

2024 treasures of Milan private fashion tour. - It was a hot day we were tired and frazzled and then there was Sara our wonderful guide. What a difference she made in our day. We ate and laughed, learned about fashion, fashion week, current trends, designers and how much fun shopping could be. We had a teenager with us who is interested in the fashion industry. Sara offered our teen interesting ways to learn the many facets of the industry. We walked the main thoroughfare, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in the heart of the city. As we passed by some of the other wonders of Milan Sara gave us a quick history of each of the wonders. Sara was a wealth of knowledge and pure delight. She set the tone for the rest of our visit. We highly recommend this tour. Many thanks, Sara. Best wishes, from Seattle , WA.

Great fashion tour - With her diverse experiences in the fashion industry and art history knowledge, Sara was the perfect guide for my fashion-passionate daughter and myself. We had a lovely time together, Sara was very accommodating and beside teaching us a lot also showed us a number of great places like the Ferragamo hotel and of course fashion outlets 🤩

Fashion day in Milan - Francesca knew all the quaint shops as well as the high end shops to explore. We walked through several neighborhoods and discussed the fashion industry for which Milan is so famous. It was a lovely day.

Highly recommend! - This was a wonderful tour. Sara was very knowledgeable. As we walked the beautiful shopping district, we learned about various designers, watched a fashion shoot, walked through an exhibit of 20th century fashion, and stopped in a few stores where we bought jewelry and handbags discounted for the summer sales. I was with my teenage daughter and her friend and Sarah was great at capturing their interest. I suspect that each tour is different and tailored on the spot to meet the needs of the group. Well worth it!

Real insight into Milan’s fashion industry - Sara gave us a wonderful tour of Milan’s golden triangle including the exquisite fashion museum. She has worked in fashion in Milan since she moved there to study many years ago. Her industry knowledge and insight is what I think would differentiate this tour from others. One member of our group is a 20 year old fashion student. She loved every minute of this tour and said it was the highlight of her time in Milan.

An exciting afternoon exploring Milan fashion - Spending time with Sara was truly a highlight of my visit to Milan! As a solo traveler Sara was friendly, warm, and so very helpful. She customized the tour for me and gave some great context on the legacy fashion houses and upcoming designers, exploring unique corners where fashion shoots are held, and other secret spots. We also mixed in some shopping too and am very excited for my new outfits. Also a special callout for helping me navigate a pharmacy to get some help with a minor eye issue! You will not regret a tour with Sara with her extensive industry background, welcoming personality, and flexibility!
