Top Milan Walking Tours - page 2

I booked last minute to maximize experiencing the most of downtown Milano in a couple of hours. The walking tour with Bibi totally exceeded my expectations. Bibi’s wealth of knowledge as a historian and a local gave me a memorable experience of this beautiful city, pointing out major highlights and some hidden treasures only a local would know. Her English is excellent. She was adaptable to point out areas that would interest me and is a pleasure to tour with. Thank You Bibi.

Daniella clearly loves her job as tour guide. Her English is excellent. She is friendly, and educated about history and art. She shared the right amount of information. She allowed us to direct her so as to show us the things we are interested in. Very good value for a private tour. I wish Viatours would indicate the meeting point clearly in the opening of the ticket page. One needs to scroll down for better directions.

This was the most expensive tour in our entire 2+ week trip in Europe. We were a group of 6, and we wanted a more personal experience to view this masterpiece, so we took a chance to sign up for this “semi-private” group tour. I originally thought we had the entire room to ourselves, but we were actually a part of 40+ people admitted into the room for the 15 min viewing time. Fortunately, the room was large enough, and our group of 6 did get a few minutes to view the painting on our own. Fiamma was our guide, although the tour was less than an hour, Fiamma was able to pack a lot of relevant and important information from the start — outside of the building (monastery & church) all the way to the painting itself. She communicated clearly, and was very effective in setting up and helping us get the most out of the short time we had. I appreciate her knowledge and through her guidance, I was able to make an emotional connection with the masterpiece — which was my biggest take away from this short tour. I wish I could linger longer though. But because of Fiamma, the painting was etched in my mind, to be revisited whenever I want — thank you! I don’t think that would happen without her guiding us to focus and see the many details and meanings behind the gestures, facial expressions, body positions and interactions among the characters. What a masterpiece it was!

Do yourself a favor & buy this tour vs. going it alone. Laura, our tour guide was stellar. She pointed out details and the subtlest nuances of Da Vinci’s painting my hubby & I agreed - we would have never known - nor read about or learned before. The depth of knowledge she commands and passion for all Italian history was unbelievable - only acquired I think from years of experience, education & drive to learn more. We had a ball - thanks!

What a lovely tour! Jose was an excellent guide. So knowledgeable, organized, and welcoming. Clear meeting instructions and an amazing tour packed full of information. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting more out of their visit to beautiful Italy.

Our day was truly memorable thanks to our knowledgeable and funny guide, Armando. He tailored the tour to our preferences and was happy to spend extra time at places we enjoyed. The food was delicious, and we also learned a lot about the city and its history. Highly recommend, especially with Armando as your guide

Emanuela Did an excellent job. She was very knowledgeable and shared a lot about the city. She is a local and knows a lot about the city and its history even beyond the basics of the tour but she also spoke excellent English. We only had 1 day to spend in Milan and feel like this was a great way to spend it.

There are many significant sights in Italy. DiVinci’s Last Supper is the only one that limits access to 1500 people per day in 15 minute, sessions of about 35 people, 6 days a week. That means you are very unlikely to view This master piece without a pre arranged tour group. Upon meeting our very knowledgeable guide, she explained the history of Leonardo’s time in Milan, and the work itself . Her discussion included info on the characters in the fresco and why it is fading away( it’s not really a fresco) She also explained the reason for such limited access to preserve this world heritage site Then she took the group on a walk to visit the Sforzesco Castle and told its history
