It was very nice to hangout with people from around the world and experience Milan together.
We can only recommend this food tour with Francesco, we got to enjoy some nice places with great food, not to mention all the explanations Francesco gave us about Italy and Milan.
Had a great experience. Francesco did a great job sharing interesting Facts and antidotes about Milan and it’s cuisine. The food was delicious!!
We had a wonderful Milan food tour with Francesco! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience both fun and informative. The food choices were excellent, and we got to try a great variety of authentic local specialties—we highly recommend this tour!
Four of us had a wonderful day with Francesco. Despite the heat, Francesco kept us cool while showing us the highlights of Milan. We tasted some of the regional specialties and Francesco explained the making and certification process. Added to this were fascinating historical, cultural and architectural insights. He also gave us suggestions for other sites and dinner. Francesco made Milan come alive for us!
Marco made this food tour an absolute highlight of my time in Milan. It was the perfect introduction to the city, from a fascinating balsamic vinegar tasting to grab-and-go sandwiches, creamy risotto, and some of the best gelato I've ever had. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and full of flavor. What really made the day special was Marco himself. His knowledge of Milan's history and love for his city shone through, and he brought me to neighborhoods I never would have found on my own. His warmth and enthusiasm made the whole experience feel personal rather than like a typical tour. If you're visiting Milan, do yourself a favor and book this tour with Marco. It's an experience I'll remember long after the trip.
Our family greatly enjoyed our food tour with Simon. It was a perfect way to get rid of jet lag on our arrival day. Simon was informative and friendly. Great way to kick off our visit to Milan.
Simon was super fun! We had a great trip with a full meal split up over multiple stops. It was a great way to see the city and try new places, while having dinner. I'm a vegetarian and was easily accommodated.
wonderful experience and great food! simon was great; he was attentive and informative and very nice!
Simon was a great host. Engaging, informed and very good company. Simon walked us through mainly residential areas so we avoided the crowds and experienced the city as a local would. I’d definitely recommend this tour to others.
