Sara was wonderful! She really personalizes your experience. She was very knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed her. We highly recommend her tour!
We were out and about with Adriana for a friend’s hen party, and she showed us some great shops, introduced us to ‘new’ designers and gave us lots of background information on the big names. We had a brilliant time with her and will definitely be back.
Claudia was fantastic. I had severe jet lag and she was very accommodating with my schedule. I really enjoyed the architecture and seeing the beautiful streets along the fashion district. She tailored my tour to my needs and was very knowledgeable
Our guide was excellent. He personalized our intro to Milan fashion world by asking us what our objectives and interests were, then customized his tour down to our non-fashionista level. We learned a lot and were able to take away some ideas and perspectives on how to "present" ourselves in a manner that's true to us and meets our sensible, active retiree leisure wear style.
We had a wonderful day together with Gingi! Before the tour she asked us what our expectations and wishes were, so she could customize the tour to our wishes. She took us through the fashion district and we visited stores we probably would never have gone to otherwise. This gave us the chance to learn about unique designs and also allowed us to get to know the architecture of many houses anew. Our absolute highlight was that it spontaneously enabled us to gain insights into a leather factory city. Where we spontaneously got a heartfelt tour and learned so much about the origin and processing of different types of leather and also saw how the products were made from it. Gingi made the day a unique experience for us! She was super warm, interested, spontaneous and you noticed how passionate she is about fashion and how well connected she is. She also had many good tips for the rest of the time in Milan. We would book a tour with her anytime again and will certainly not forget this day so soon!
Our guide Sara has been in the fashion industry for many years and her extensive knowledge of the designers and labels and the individual outlets and stores was extremely beneficial. Her friendly manner and engaging conversation ensured the tour captured the aspects we most wanted to experience. It was a delightful day roaming the fashion centre of Milan.
Adriana reached out a couple days in advance to see about our interests, and she tailored our itinerary through the Quadrilatero della Moda. Excellent tour through the big names in Italian fashion as well as local artisans you've never heard of. This was the perfect way to get oriented on our first day in Milan, and Adriana was so friendly and a font of knowledge on the fashion world.
Very informative and engaging to those of varying knowledge based about the topic! Very fun — and highly recommended.
Really nice to walk around Milan with a local. Learned a lot about changes in the city’s growth, and changes in the big fashion brands, which shops are independent and famous. I had been hoping to learn more about actual styles of designers themselves, current trends, how Milanese think about fashion, and maybe to actually go in some shops. I’m really glad we got to cover so much ground, but I needed to do much of it again to have time to go into places of interest.
Wonderful tour…knowledgeable guide…just enough information not to be overwhelming. Has made Me a convert to guided tours.
