Great walking tour of Milan. very enjoyable, very informative. Marco was an excellent tour guide and his personality was very engaging.
Our family has just visited the Vatican for a second time. Our previous tour was far superior due to the guide’s manner and pacing. This tour had a guide that arrived 20 minutes past our start time which resulted in a rushed tour. We done various tours over the past 20 years, but this is the first tour, that nearly all of our group was vocal about their dislike of this booking. As an aside, book the earliest AM tour (any other operators) to avoid the massive crowds.
Great tour very intresting. I recomennded on Marco the best instructor. The tour was 2.4 hours all over the Duamo
