Bebe and Crystal were phenomenal guides. The tour was very educational and it was a great opportunity to have quick access to areas others couldn’t since we were in a golf cart. they provided blankets, drinks and we had a clear cover on the golf cart that could be zippered for when it got chilly. I highly recommend this tour

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.

We had a very nice overview of Milan with Jaco! Jaco made a sweeping tour of Milan, taking in the city's main highlights—a good combination of short history, brisk walk, and helpful tips. Jaco pointed out places to visit after the tour and left us with useful information to continue on our own.

Roshni_J, Dec 2025
I am sure there are others who have had better experience but my guide didn’t tell me any of the history of the city or the places we visited. I had to point out statues or buildings and ask her what they were. It was super disappointing. We didn’t even cover the Duomo and she covered the bare minimum of Piazza Mercanti. Very disappointing experience.

Poor value for money.
Walking in silence most of the time.
Very little history, anecdotes, interesting facts.
Would not recommend

An excellent tour with Michela!
We visited the Duomo where she helped us buy tickets and then showed us lots of interesting things.
We then went on to the famous shopping to soak up the atmosphere of this beautiful place.
Michela took us to the castle pointing out some modern art along the way and we also had time to enjoy a coffee.
We ended our tour at the last supper.
(Tickets for this need to be purchased before had)
Thank you Michela for a throughly enjoyable morning with you!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We’re delighted to hear that Michela made your morning in Milan so enjoyable, from exploring the Duomo and the castle to soaking up the local atmosphere and modern art along the way. We look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic experience in the future.

Karen_B, Nov 2025
This was a great tour and I have been on a bunch. Bibi was very knowledgeable. I had booked 2 walking tours in Milan and was concerned we would see the same things. Bibi took us to places you would never expect on a walking tour and told us about things that we walked past that we would have never known. On the other tour we walked past some of the same places and our guide said nothing which I found interesting. I would highly recommend this tour and Bibi specifically.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
So nice to receive your thoughtful review! Bibi’s deep knowledge and ability to reveal hidden gems truly make her tours special, and we’re so glad you enjoyed discovering parts of the city that most visitors might miss. Thank you again for recommending both the tour and Bibi so highly. We hope to welcome you on another experience soon!
