Susanna, the Leading Lady of Milan!

Susanna is knowledgable, friendly, engaging and patient. She really knows this city. The Santuario di San Bernadino alle Ossa was absolutely fascinating and makes one realize how lucky we all are to be alive in this era of modern medicine. Susanna helped us learn the world famous fashion district, and how the real Milan is hidden behind the walls. The real estate of the fashion district is opulent and historic. We saw brilliant statues and walked the garden of Gregor Mendel, the site of one of humanity’s greatest intellectual leaps.

Perfect day with the most exceptional guide!

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!!!

Green to white experience

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!
