Francesca was a delight. Both kind and knowledgeable, so grateful to spend the day in Milano with her!
This was the worst food tour we have experienced. Do not waste your money. Tour guide barely spoke to us, took us to one restaurant and we grabbed dessert in spot immediately next to restaurant. There was absolutely no tour aspect about this. Horrible experience. We will request a full refund
Dear Deirdre, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear how disappointing this experience was for you. A food tour should feel engaging, interactive, and thoughtfully guided, and we understand how frustrating it must have been when it felt limited and lacked the tour element you were expecting. We appreciate you taking the time to voice your concerns. Experiences like this are certainly not what we aim to deliver, and hearing how it felt from your perspective is important for us as we continue to review and improve how our tours are experienced on the ground. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, even though we know it’s never pleasant to relive a disappointing moment. Kind regards, The Withlocals Team
This was NOT what I was expecting for 6 “award winning” tastings with food. WAY overpriced for what you get. I would maybe pay $50. Tour guide was very nice, and informative. However extremely disappointed at what was offered for a so called award winning food tour.
Dear Abbey, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found your guide kind and informative, but we’re truly sorry to learn that the overall experience didn’t meet your expectations in terms of value and food selection. We completely understand your disappointment, especially when a tour doesn’t feel like it reflects what was promised. Our “Award-Winning Food Tours” are designed to showcase authentic local flavors through a curated selection of tastings and small bites that represent the city’s culinary culture. That said, it’s clear that in this case, the experience didn’t deliver the variety or quality you were hoping for. We’ve shared your comments with our local team and the host involved to review the menu and structure of the Milan tour, ensuring it aligns more closely with traveler expectations in the future. We take your feedback to heart and will use it to keep improving. Kind regards, The Withlocals Team
Our expectation was that we would visit a few restaurants to experience 6 different food and wine tastings of Milan that you wouldn’t find just on your own. We actually only went to one restaurant where we enjoyed a charcuterie tray and 2 drinks. We then had a gelato and a coffee. Disappointing for spending $300. At best it is a $100 value.
Hi Sue, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re very sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations in terms of variety, value, and the unique tastings you were hoping for. We completely understand your disappointment, especially given the cost, and we regret that the experience felt limited compared to what was described. Your feedback is very valuable, and we’ll work closely with our local team to ensure the food and wine selection offers a wider and more authentic range that better reflects the true culinary spirit of Milan. Cheers, Withlocals Team
Salvatore was a gracious host to his beautiful city. He brought us to a trattoria in the old part of Milan that was fantastic. After we had a fresh cannoli and some fantastic gelato. The tour of the castle was educational and enlightening. I recommend the tour if you have a few hours to spend in this wonderful city.
Caterina was great. 100% authentic. Very sympatic. Very good english. We had rain, but she had very good solutions. And we got a lot of tips for eating in the evening and shopping. Thank you also for best icecream ever.
It is an absolute scam! It says 10 tastings, it doesn't say that the 10 tastings are 9 types of cheese and sausage, and 1 ice cream. I couldn't believe that was it. Then we went to see a building with trees. The tour guide looked like he hates his job, and the whole trip was just a complete waste of time and money. I am still in shock that I payed for this... DO NOT GO!
Hi Gilad, We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. It’s unacceptable that the tour did not deliver the variety and value promised, and that the guide’s attitude left a negative impression. This is far from the standard we strive for, and we take your feedback seriously. We’ll be reviewing this experience with our team to ensure the description matches what’s delivered and that our hosts provide both engaging and enjoyable tours. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Best wishes, Withlocals Team
Armando took us through the streets of Milan, relegating us with the culture and stories of this great city. Our gelato experience was divine, as was the food and wine. HIGHLY recommend this one!
