This is the best way of experiencing local food and culture. The tour was very well planned and an enjoyable learning experience with the right blend of local food and drink. Our guide exceptional. Not only did Val know her stuff she was engaging and passionate about her local cuisine.
What a great food tour! We had a great time learning about the history of the food in Milan and tasting the local offerings. The guide was passionate and shared her knowledge in a fun and interactive way. Highly recommend!
Thank you for joining us!
The guide was well informative & she sang for us. I may have put some added stress on her by being late. GPS sent me in the wrong direction. She was gracious about it. Oh of course the foods & wine.
No worries, if you get lost we will help find us and will make it possible for you to join the tour and have a blast with your guide! Thanks for joining!
Such an awesome tour and was definitely a highlight of our month in Italy. Very informative, such a great introduction to Milanese cuisine. Food provided was very generous and they were able to accommodate our daughter’s gluten intolerance with alternative options. Highly recommend.
Thanks Sarah for joining us! We choose the best food to offer so you can fall more inlove with the Milanese food!
Great tour Julia was very friendly lots of local knowledge and information about the food and drink we had. The drink and food was excellent and would definitely recommend
Thanks Glyn for joining Giulia on our food tour! Our goal is to offer you the best traditional Milanese food and make this experience memorable!
Valentina was an excellent guide and we enjoyed a variety of food and drinks with her. She also gave us some interesting history of Milano and the food.
Paola was a wonderful guide, providing history, tips on shopping, and some storytelling along our walk and while eating our tasty menu. This was a wonderful tour of the Brera neighborhood, which was vibrant and lively. My one complaint is that I was so full from the pizza, meats, cheeses, and lasagna, that I could barely enjoy the amazingly delicious saffron risotto! The tour ended with the best gelato I have ever tasted. EVER. And we returned to that shop a couple of days later. :)
Guilia and Antonio were friendly and knowledgeable. Guilia shared lots of stories about the food, Milan and Italy. She made sure everyone was included in conversations. The tour was an excellent pace and Guilia and Antonio made sure we had enough water to drink in the heat. The food was incredible - especially the Parma prosciutto and the gelato. We like how all the shops included in the tour had lots of local history.
Giulia is really great! Thanks you for joining us!
We loved our Brera district walking tour! The tour started out with some pizza and each subsequent stop was another course in a Milano meal. The food was excellent. The places we visited were all great and gave us an opportunity to visit the beautiful Brera district, far from the touristy cites. Our guide was lovely. She gave us not only a description of a Milano meal, and history of Milan in general, but also answered questions about seasonal foods in Milan and how she cooks with them. It was an informative and fun tour. I highly recommend!
Tour definitely has its highlights with enoteca visit, fantastic lasagne and great Parmigianino and prosciutto. It also had it's weaker spots: average pizza and very weird aperitif from plastic cup. Guide was just ok. She even managed to lose two of us at some point. She never realized we're not with the group, by blind luck we've found our group. It feels really like missed opportunity of showing this fantastic districts.
Hi Piotr, thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry that the tour was not up to your expectations. When the storm went to the next level and the heavens opened up, the group scattered in different directions. Your guide, Paola, did what she could to get everyone back together, getting soaked in the process. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the tour as much as we had hoped - we work very hard to create and deliver tours that will delight our guests and in this case we have failed.
