A great tour to get the highlights of Milan specialties and some of the history of the city. The tour guide is so fun and you can really feel her love for the city.
Good, fast and fun. Lots of history included and enjoyed the food! Lots of walking, not as much sitting so be prepared.
The walking street food tour was a good mix of history and food and took us to areas of Milan we would not have seen otherwise. We particularly loved the visit to the balsamic shop - had never contemplated such a variety in depth of flavours in balsamic vinegar! We had to buy some! Any the visit to Peck, which is a delicatessen from heaven really got the taste buds excited. Our guide Francesco was passionate about the foods and introduced us to tastes we never enjoyed before. The walk was not too long either. We highly recommend this tour.
Great experience, Luca was a terrific guide with plenty of knowledge. The tour wasn't rushed and the food was fantastic.
Our guide (Maria-Christine) was excellent. She gave us loads of brilliant information and she was very friendly. The food we ate was good, although I would have liked maybe one more stop. We also did not get to sit down, we took the food out to eat.
This was a great experience. One of the highlights of my trip to Milan. The assortment of food was great! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
We did the Milan food tour as a family with our guide Francesca. Francesca was very nice and knowledgeable. Make sure to be hungry before heading on this tour as you will be eating at many stops along the way. The first stop is at a balsamic vinegar shop where you will sample different balsamic vinegars with no bread or water to accompany the experience … it was a bit too minimalistic for our taste. You will be standing up most of the tour and you sometimes have to share food platters with other tour participants. Also no beverages or drinks are served which you have to buy along the way. A good experience but would not necessarily recommend.
Amazing!!! Very insightful if you’re on a short trip! You see a lot and taste a lot! Highly recommend!
Great line up of foods. Especially loved the balsamic vinegar tasting. Anna was energetic, informative and personable. We had so much fun
No headphones or communication devices so you could not hear about any of the sights we saw unless you were right beside the guide . Also she went walked so fast most of us could not keep up with her . The food was good , but at 3 of the locations we stood in the street to eat with the traffic and trash . The 1 place we did sit down inside to eat , there were only napkins to put food on and no descriptions of the food . Also we had cups but not even water unless we bought it . The guides name was Anna and she was nice , but of the 6 tours of different types that we took during this trip to Italy ; this was only one we did not enjoy .
