Top Milan Historical Tours - page 2

I booked a last minute trip to Milan and of course the tickets to the last supper were sold out. I signed up for this tour, just thinking it was a tourist tax since it was so much more than just getting the tickets from official source. But, I was pleasantly surprised by our tour guide Simone. He was really knowledgeable about history and meaning of not only the last supper, but Leonardo, the building itself and the other artwork in the building. I honestly was shocked, because I wasn’t expecting the insights he shared on the restoration, body language, survival of the mural, etc. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are in the same situation I was and Simone was available

Very fun. Not only just a wine tour and tasting, but a trip to a nice little town in Italy. The guide was very helpful and knowledgeable and the people running the vineyards were exceptional as well. Also the bus driver was great! We went on a Sunday so fewer shops were open, but still had a wonderful time.

Amazing experience - the chance to be this close to a world class masterpiece cannot be replaced. Special thanks to our guide - Marcella - her passion for the story of Leonardo, The Last Supper and Santa Maria delle Grazie leaves a lasting impression and really makes you want more and more from the rich city of Milan.

Marcella was an amazing guide! She took us on a wonderful tour inside and outside the duomo. She pointed out the most important sites, but also had insight into many other often missed aspects of the duomo. She was friendly knowledgeable and answered every question we had. She made sure on a very hot day to keep our group in the shade and even gave us the opportunity before the tour to use the bathroom or grab a bottle of water. I highly recommend this tour. It was worth the time and money, especially skipping the line. And if you can book the tour with marchella you will not be disappointed!

My husband and I had an enjoyable tour of Sforza Castle, the surrounding areas and the two connected museums. Our tour guide was informative, interesting and well equipped to share a ton of great knowledge about what we were looking at. As someone who loves history and art this tour was a great combo of both! Plus how cool to see an unfinished Michelangelo statue?!

Absolutely perfect - Lisa, our host, was clearly passionate about the city she calls home and you could tell how much she loves sharing it with her guests. She was perhaps the most qualified tour guide we’ve had, and had answers to all of our questions. She tailored the tour to our time schedule and gave us an amazing view of Milan’s city center and so much of what it has to offer in the short period of time we had available. Moreover she shared with us valuable insights from where and when to best visit certain popular venues to secrets about how to avoid the most touristy venues and alternatives that are less known for similar experiences. All in all, it was exactly what we needed and she was extremely flexible in providing exactly what we wanted to do. Thank you Lisa!!!

The trip was very interesting and truly inspiring . To go from lake Como all the way up to the Alps in Switzerland and pass through all the season and weathers was amazing! Beautiful landscapes ,pictures in snow and feelds of fresh grass!The sudden change from green to white ... Waterfals and rivers,frozen lakes and small villages during that day made me think of how people live there in cold! The guide was profesional and very sweet to tell us all the story with such patience despite speaking both English and Spanish language fluently! We took some great pictures for my painting collection and I liked it very much.The only bad thiong was that you sit the whole day because it is a bus drive than train and bus again! but already tomorrow with a good sleap all was already ok .Any person can find a bad in all good so people cpould say whatever they want,but if you like landscapes and nature this will be a great wxperience .I can not think of anything bad .My brain still travels 2 days after looking at the end of the red train and enjoying the snow and fresh air! I will always remember this day
