    Fantastic guide in a fantastic city

    Pearse_E, Apr 2026
    Fernando was a fantastic guide who taught me so much about the history of this incredible city but also so much of contemporary italy. Really worth taking the time to converse with this excellent guide and it will feel like hanging out with a friend who is excited to show you around his city

    Great!

    DeniseP_A, Apr 2026
    Great tour to cover many important landmarks of Milan and Cesar gave us lots of interesting information! He was great!

    Great afternoon with Fernando in Milan!

    Craig_T, Mar 2026
    My daughter and I loved our tour with Fernando in Milan yesterday! Our similar careers in Technology/Software made for a very personal connection and the conversation benefitted from that. His knowledge of local Milanese history, culture, arts, architecture, fashion, politics and even the recent Olympics stood out from other guides we've taken over the years. We started at the Duomo, made our way through the Galleria, talked about Teatro alla Scala, wandered through the great Brera neighborhood, and ended at the Castello. At every corner he stopped to explain the significance of statues, churches, buildings, and everything else! We learned more about Milan in 3 hours than we could have doing it on our own in days. You will not regret booking this tour with Fernando.

    Lisa was very good. We learned a lot about Milan and she showed us so many hidden places. We enjoyed our time very much. Thank you Lisa

    Great experience with Alessandro

    Sheetal_J, Feb 2026
    Alessandro is fantastic. Knowledgeable, kind and showed us and told us so much that we could not know on our own. Thank you Alex!

    Milan highlights

    Denise_J, Feb 2026
    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.

    Waste of money

    Kevin_K, Feb 2026
    Having already toured the major sites such as the Duomo, I was looking for the 'hidden gems' as the tour title implies. Didn't get anything close to that experience. We essentially walked around various parts of the city but didn't learn anything. Like nothing at all... I could have gleaned more info by just googling things on my own. This honestly felt like a bit of a scam.

    Knowledgeable local guide. Happy to learn about Milan walking around the city. Showed us the fashion & financial district but it’s exciting because the Olympics are in town!

    Wonderful walking tour of Milan

    Evangelia_S, Jan 2026
    Daniela la was a wonderful guide! She was very knowledgeable and she was fun to listen and talk to. We really enjoyed exploring Milan with her! We strongly recommend this walking tour!

    Hidden Gems in Milan

    Piera was excellent at creating a personal tour that showed us things we wanted to see and would never have found without her. Her knowlege of architecture, art, and history are excellent and gave us great memories.

    eeschultemd, Dec 2025
    Our tour was canceled 30 minutes before it was supposed to start. The tour guide had a family emergency. There were no substitutes offered at the time, only an invitation to take the tour another day, which was impossible because we were leaving Milan later that day.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the last-minute cancellation. We truly regret that this disrupted your plans and understand how frustrating it must have been. We hope you were still able to enjoy your time in Milan and wish you a wonderful holiday season. Thank you again for sharing your experience. Best regards, Guydeez Team

    Nice afternoon with Raffaele

    Michael_M, Oct 2025
    The tour was the perfect way to get to know the layout of the city. Davide was a great guide, friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to navigate Milan with. I really enjoyed learning about the main attractions and some hidden spots along the way.

    A lovely afternoon.

    Kelly_N, Sep 2025
    We were lucky enough to have Youssef as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and obliging. I especially recommend this tour to anyone who’s new area. Youssef gave us a great run down, and we knew exactly where we wanted to spend the remainder of our limited time whilst there. Thanks for your time 😃

    Milan Highlights and Hidden gems

    Antony_M, Sep 2025
    We a had a young personal guide from Egyptian decent, who had lived in Milan for the last three years. He was enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgable on the history of Milan and was intelligent. But he struggled with English and probably lacked experienced as a guide. The tour lasted a little over 3 hours with quite a bit of walking, largely on the flat. This tour tour may be more suited to people interested in the commercial and fashion than historic and cultural side of Milan, although some heritage elements were included.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    David offered good information and many historical facts about the cities monuments and important buildings.

    Terrific Guide

    Steven_S, Aug 2025
    David modified and tailored the tour to fit our particular needs. his communication prior and during the tour were game changing.

    Disappointing

    Paul_S, Jul 2025
    Total waste of time. No plan , no clue on where to go or what to show us. Very disappointed , wasted 3 hours.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

Once again our apologies for this inconvenience and we hope you give us a second chance. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team

    While our guide presented...

    Andy_S, Jul 2025
    While our guide presented as being “attentive”, we found him to be lacking of historical knowledge and superficial as it related to “hosting us. He rushed us around and was rude to many people we passed on the street or on public transport, cutting them off or pushing them aside as he took pictures of us (that we didn’t necessarily want but pressured us into taking them)

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Hello Andy, Thank you for taking the time to share this with us! We are sincerely sorry that you had a negative experience on your tour. We strive to ensure that all our guests have enriching and memorable experiences, and we regret that we did not meet that standard for you on this occasion.

Once again our apologies for this inconvenience and we hope you give us a second chance. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team

    Do NOT take this tour

    meredithfriedler, Jul 2025
    Do not take this tour or use this company. I have taken at least 20 similar tours in Europe and this is the only one that has been horrible. The tour guide had no training had not done many tours and had no plan or information. He did not tell us a single bit of information and had no plan or itinerary. He asked if we wanted to go shopping or have lunch or snacks or take breaks. We took the tour to learn some history. We learned nothing. It was as if he had never been to Milan. I asked for credit towards another tour and it was completely refused. Terrible customer service.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Hi Meredith, Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we understand your disappointment. We’ve contacted you directly by email to follow up. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to have the opportunity to offer a better experience in the future. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team
