Our time with Alesandra was amazing. She was incredibly knowledgable...it felt like we participated in a full semester art history course in just two hours. She allowed us to be interactive and we learned how to view art in a whole new way. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who has an appreciation of great art and wants to gain an even greater insight.
Unbelievable day. So special and engaging. The 16 year olds to the adults were engaged, laughed and learned. No lines, ins and outs of Milan from coffee shops, last supper and duomo and so much more. Cannot recommend Larissa and the private tour enough. amazing! 5 +++
