We loved our Monday tour with Tiziana so much that we continued on Friday. She took us to the Sforza Castle and throughout she shared nuggets of information about Italian history, art and culture. Strongly recommend!!

Simona was an incredible tour guide! She was so knowledgeable, helpful, flexible and kind. I really appreciated how she tailored the tour to what I really wanted to see. She showed me some parts of Milan that I had never heard of, and that were really incredible gems. I highly, highly recommend going on this tour. (I went on the 3-hour private 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.
Response from Host, Dec 2025

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.

Our walking tour with Simona was an absolute highlight of our trip. She blended deep knowledge with genuine warmth, effortlessly weaving together Milan’s major landmarks with tucked-away treasures that made the city feel even more special. Her storytelling brought every stop to life. We couldn’t recommend Simona more highly and are so grateful for the unforgettable 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.

Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled that Massimo was knowledgeable, personable, and able to accommodate your needs. It’s wonderful to know you had a great time, and we really appreciate your recommendation!
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!
jennifer_L, Nov 2025
Our guide organized the tour with no insight from our group. She was very knowledgeable of Milan and took us to all the tourist spots and other hidden spots along the way.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We’re happy to hear that your guide shared her extensive knowledge of Milan with you and took you to a great mix of well-known attractions and hidden spots. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.

We had such a wonderful time on our tour with Connie. We walked around the city and got detailed information about so many of the buildings and the history of Milan. It was a perfect tour for us to get a glimpse of Milan in our short period of time! Thank you Connie for all that wonderful things you showed us.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
It’s great to know the tour gave you a meaningful glimpse into the city’s rich history, even with limited time with our host Connie. Thank you so much for your kind words! We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!

Called hidden gems. Not how I would describe it. Was all set to take us to Duomo, but guide was disappointed that we had seen it earlier.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello Eric,
I’m sorry to hear the experience didn’t feel like it lived up to the idea of discovering hidden gems. I understand your disappointment when the experience lacked the uniqueness you were expecting.
We’ve shared your feedback with our Host Team to ensure better adaptability and creativity when plans change. We’d love another chance to provide you with the more distinctive and memorable experience you were hoping for.
Warm regards,
Sheenah and the City Unscripted team.

Silvia was a special guide. She made a great itinerary for a two hour tour based on things we wanted to see and do. She was very clear with communication and directions on how to meet her from our hotel. As soon as we met her, it felt like we were meeting up/visiting with a friend. At the end of the tour, she walked us to our tram stop so we could head to a cooking class. When it looked like we would be late due to a delayed tram, she called the restaurant to notify them that we would be late. Additionally, as she was familiar with Como, she found us a parking garage near our upcoming boat tour. Thankful she went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable our first day in the city. Thanks for a fabulous time!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re delighted that your experience with Silvia was so positive and that she helped make your first day in Como feel smooth and welcoming. It’s wonderful to know she went above and beyond — from creating a personalized itinerary to assisting with transport and even helping with your boat tour parking. Thanks again for choosing to explore with us!
Diane_A, Oct 2025
Having a personal tour guide was a special experience for us; it allowed us to shift the itinerary in the moment, take more time in areas that interested us, and skip spots that we didn't care about. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and took care to be sure our interests were addressed.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the flexibility and personalized touch of your tour. Our guides love tailoring each experience to guests’ interests, and we’re glad yours made the day so special.
