Jewish heritage in Milan - Learned more about my Jewish heritage. I had not known anything about Jewish roots in Italy. Seeing how There was a Jewish revival. But also, the threat to it as evidenced by the military guards at the ends of the the street.

Fabulous Fashion Tour! - We spent a fabulous morning with our guide Sze. As Milan is the fashion capital of Italy, we wanted to know a bit more about what makes Milan tick, apart from historic buildings, cathedrals, museums etc. and this tour fit the bill. Sze described the historical foundations of Milan as a fashion, and fabric centre, which we found fascinating. Sze has a vast knowledge of the history of the fashion industry, and delivered information in an entertaining and interesting way. We visited Palazzo Morando -a museum dedicated to the history of Milan and to fashion, where historic fabric samples are shown, some of which are still available today at the same fabric manufacturer. We did lots of high-end window shopping, while Sze explained the Milanese way of dressing and how fashion in Milan, even today, always has some nod to the past. He was able to demonstrate this with visits to designer shops to look at items. It was an enjoyable and fun tour and gave us an insight into the fashion side of this fantastic city. Along the way, going along back streets to get from one area to another, we discovered little pockets of Milan, including a secluded small garden, that we otherwise would not have seen. Highly recommend!

An amazing fashion and design tour through Milan! - I loved this tour! It was a 3-hour walk through Milan’s design and fashion neighborhoods, and honestly, it flew by. Adriana was incredible—so fun to be around, super charismatic, and such a great storyteller. She made every street and building feel special, sharing cool stories and insider info that made me see Milan in a totally new way. I’ve been to Milan a bunch of times, but this tour took me to places I’d never even noticed before. I learned about designers and styles I hadn’t heard of, and left feeling way more connected to the city’s creative side. Adriana’s energy is contagious—she clearly loves what she does, and it shows. Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience Milan beyond the usual tourist stuff. I could’ve kept going for another 3 hours!

Exactly what I was hoping for! - Very personal tour with amazing guidance and conversation throughout the tour. It was Design week in Milan so everything was very busy. It was also fun to have someone help pick pieces or comment on what looked best on me. She was quick to say that’s not really your color, this looks better. Those shoes are cute but too big or you don’t look comfortable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a private shopping tour and experience in Milan.

Like spending the afternoon in Milan with an old friend - Walking around Milan with Sara was a great way to experience the city. Sara is so personable and has a background in fashion and knows so much about the history and the places in and around the Golden Triangle. And she still has a wonderful sense of enjoyment and appreciation as she leads you around. Plus she has also been a personal shopper so she has a great sense of style and will not only take you to the flagship stores, she also knows where to get the deals.

Great guide! - Sze was an amazing guide, giving us the history of both Milan and its fashion business over the centuries. He has great passion and knowledge! It was the perfect way to begin our visit to Milan. While we were not shopping per se, he showed us shops we might like and gave us tips for things we might like for ourselves or gifts. He was kind and courteous of our jet lag, and generally, a warm and engaging person. We also enjoyed his restaurant suggestions.
