Milaan: wandeltocht langs hoogtepunten en geheime schatten

We had a private tour as we were the only ones who booked. Elisa was friendly and communicated via WhatsApp. She asked to move the time (which was fine) and was offering to change the start/end location to suit us, which we appreciated. However, the tour wasn't really a "highlights" tour at all - we didn't visit the castle, or the gallery, or the historical areas at all. There was so sense of history or story telling, so we didn't learn much about Milan. This was a 'secret treasures' tour though, although very church based - she showed us Frescos, an ossurary and some other hidden features we may not have seen. She also told us the story behind the famous "LOVE" statue, and some famous skyscraper. Overall I didn't love the tour - I was expecting to learn more about Milan and hear some fun stories, but instead it felt quite disjointed and the "hidden secrets" weren't necessarily of interest. We had shown no interest in churches or architecture. Elisa was really lovely though, so if churches are your thing I'd recommend this tour.

You get to see things that aren’t on the typical “tour” - tucked away churches, the best bakery, the finger at the stock exchange and even the best gelato!

Elisa has been an outstanding guide! In a 3 hour tour she guided us to the most relevant historic sites in Milan historic center - to the obvious known ones but also to the hidden gems you typically do not know about. Places that tell about legends and myths - be it religious, spiritual or policital and royal about the emperor families and conquerors - or be it from culture and modern arts in public places. Elisa shared her most comprehensive knowledge about history in general and history of art, very happily with us. No question she couldn't have answered in every detail you would have wished. Amazing! At the same time, she is very well experienced in tailoring the volume of facts, information and knowledge to an extend that it never became overwhelming. Throughout the entire three hours with her it was easy, fun and light to listen to her. As a person, Elisa has been very pleasant to be with, fresh and super friendly. She remembered that we had not been able to get tickets for the Last Supper and called us when she received two cancellations with another group. Really nice gesture! The tour was the very first activity we undertook. Afterwards, we walked through Milan with so much more knowedge and awareness - thanks to Elisa. We would definitely consider returning to Milan area - only to book her again for a private tour :)

Elisa was a brilliant guide. She was informative and passionate about the city. We saw so many hidden gems in the city she made us feel very welcome. Thanks for a great experience. Thanks !!! Graham&Tanja

Elisa was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and no problems with speaking our language while sharing hers with us. She was kind enough to spend her holiday with us. It was nice having her on a day that was not so crowded with tourists. That being said, Elisa would be fabulous even in big crowds. I highly recommend her and will be sharing her information with my friends as they prepare to tour Milan.

I was looking for a guided tour for my team (which even included a local). We all LOVED the guided tour. The guide adapted to some customization and she was always willing to answer our questions with deep knowledge and a smile. A great balance of culture, "hidden places" and fun. Thank you. I would strongly recommend.

We loved the tour, it was informative but without the pressure of getting from one place to another.Thank you Alexa!

Excellent tour. She was a brilliant guide with lots of knowledge. We learnt the history of Milan and saw the beautiful sites

Elise was beyond informative and passionate about the city. So many little things are tucked away and never noticed, but she knew their location and all the history associates with them. A lot of the underground things are not accessible due to Covid restrictions but we were able to see so very much.

Elisa is a very friendly and sociable guide. She told us many fascinating things about Milan and showed us hidden places that not every tourist gets to see. You could ask her questions at any time and she explained everything to us in detail from her remarkably large wealth of knowledge. She is really knowledgeable about the history of Milan, which you can see from the historical facts she includes in her explanations. We were very happy to have done this tour and to have got to know Milan in a special way.
