The tour guide was very nice and did a great job showing us around Milan and introducing us to several patisseries. Beautiful city. Yummy food.

This was not only a fantastic way to try different local pastries from a variety of shops, our guide Anna provided an insights into Italian and Milan culture as we walked through the different areas of Milan.

Francesco was a terrific guide. He met us on time. In addition to knowledge of Milanese patisseries, he provided insight into Milan's history too. The four shops we stopped at were all distinctly different and the sweets we tasted were VERY good. One of the shops was close to our hotel and we went back for more that afternoon.

The guide was amazing! She was knowledgeable about so many things and gave us an amazing peak into Milan's history, not only pastries but music and arts. The 4 patisserie were delicious and we hard times choosing out samples.

This tour was so fun, and a really nice way to break up some of the other historical tours we had done in Milan. We lucked out by having Francesco as our guide, as he was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. He knew so much not only about the patisseries, but also about Milan and Italy as a whole, and was happy to answer all of our questions. For the tour itself, we visited 4 different bakeries. Each one had different options (for instance pick 3 desserts of your choice, or 1 dessert and 1 coffee, etc). The patisseries were all very different, so each stop had a new surprise. One of the bakery owners even allowed us in the kitchen to see where the magic happens. They will also get your desserts for you to go if you don't want to eat all of them on the tour...but I couldn't resist. I truly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys dessert!

The pastries were wonderful but it was too much. Our guide was kind and very mindful of us but the noise around us prohibited detailed descriptions of the areas along the way to the shops.
Eve_B, May 2024
Our guide Piera was phenomenal! She took us all around the city and we got to try so many different delicious foods— both modern and traditional Milano desserts! Not only did she know good spots, but she was so knowledgeable about the history of Milan and shared that with us! I 100% recommend you do this if you’re considering! We have such great memories (and pictures) from this experience!

I went on this tour with my brother and it was just us and our tour guide. It was super fun and he was very informative. We learned a lot and tasted some delicious deserts

Great tour. Antonio was a wonderful guide and the selection of pastry and candy shops to visit was wonderful. Walking through Brera and near the Duomo to find the shops was an interesting way to see parts of the city.

The guidance was fantastic
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Good morning, the tour takes place in the most famous and traditional pastry shops in Milan. We are sorry if the desserts offered were not to your liking, but no cakes are offered (as specified in the description).
Patricia_P, Jun 2023
Our walking Patisserie tour of Milan was excellent. Very casual, fun, informative and of course delicious - all thanks to our tour guide Agnese. She was really wonderful: knowledgeable and professional but also very personable, obliging and helpful.
Lisa_S, Jun 2023
Our tour was fantastic! Antonio went above and beyond to make our tour exciting and delicious. 10/10 would absolutely recommend this tour if you want to experience the sweeter side of Milan.
Taylor_W, Nov 2022
Our tour guide was great and we learned a lot about the history of Milan while walking around with her! Not to mention the desserts were delicious at every stop. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Milano!

Agnese was a wonderful, kind guide. She showed genuine interest in us personally, and she was so flexible. She went above and beyond!! We had a couple unexpected stops with our small group which made the tour so much fun!! ALL of the pastries she recommended were delicious! I would of never tried them on my own!! We had so much pastries, that we were able to take our portions home for later. The coffees were so delicious too. We went to a couple of older bakery shops which was a great experience. We even went beyond the counter to where they where the chefs were preparing and making the pastries! We saw varying bakery goods from all of Italy. I enjoyed the company, our wonderful guide and the patisseries and coffee!! Yummmm

Great trip - very informative- all treats included- our guide was Francesca really great guide also provided helpful information on the city and recommendations for food drinks and even a local taxi firm - both English and Italian participants and the guide managed the tour really well she was attentive to both sets of languages and even translated to us so we could have conversations with the Italian couple would highly recommend and don’t have too big a lunch plenty or sweets and cakes throughout

Molto carine le pasticcerie del tour,tranne quella con i marrone glaces e gelatine la cui venditrice era veramente odiosa. Questo tour si può fare però da soli in quanto non vi è nessuna informazione aggiuntiva ma semplicemente la guida ti porta nelle pasticcere. Mi aspettavo molto di più per il prezzo pagato.
