Give the typical “tour” the finger with the hidden gems of Milano! - You get to see things that aren’t on the typical “tour” - tucked away churches, the best bakery, the finger at the stock exchange and even the best gelato!

Deep Dive into Milan history facts and legends with amazing Elisa - Elisa has been an outstanding guide! In a 3 hour tour she guided us to the most relevant historic sites in Milan historic center - to the obvious known ones but also to the hidden gems you typically do not know about. Places that tell about legends and myths - be it religious, spiritual or policital and royal about the emperor families and conquerors - or be it from culture and modern arts in public places.
Elisa shared her most comprehensive knowledge about history in general and history of art, very happily with us. No question she couldn't have answered in every detail you would have wished. Amazing!
At the same time, she is very well experienced in tailoring the volume of facts, information and knowledge to an extend that it never became overwhelming. Throughout the entire three hours with her it was easy, fun and light to listen to her.
As a person, Elisa has been very pleasant to be with, fresh and super friendly.
She remembered that we had not been able to get tickets for the Last Supper and called us when she received two cancellations with another group. Really nice gesture!
The tour was the very first activity we undertook. Afterwards, we walked through Milan with so much more knowedge and awareness - thanks to Elisa.
We would definitely consider returning to Milan area - only to book her again for a private tour :)

Fabulous Experience! - Elisa was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and no problems with speaking our language while sharing hers with us. She was kind enough to spend her holiday with us. It was nice having her on a day that was not so crowded with tourists. That being said, Elisa would be fabulous even in big crowds.
I highly recommend her and will be sharing her information with my friends as they prepare to tour Milan.

I would surely repeat - I was looking for a guided tour for my team (which even included a local). We all LOVED the guided tour. The guide adapted to some customization and she was always willing to answer our questions with deep knowledge and a smile. A great balance of culture, "hidden places" and fun. Thank you.
I would strongly recommend.

A must book! - Elise was beyond informative and passionate about the city. So many little things are tucked away and never noticed, but she knew their location and all the history associates with them. A lot of the underground things are not accessible due to Covid restrictions but we were able to see so very much.

Great tour with a great guide! - Elisa is a very friendly and sociable guide. She told us many fascinating things about Milan and showed us hidden places that not every tourist gets to see. You could ask her questions at any time and she explained everything to us in detail from her remarkably large wealth of knowledge. She is really knowledgeable about the history of Milan, which you can see from the historical facts she includes in her explanations. We were very happy to have done this tour and to have got to know Milan in a special way.
