This was a great tour, I let Sarah know it was a trip mainly for my teenage son who enjoys shopping for vintage clothing and she tailored the store visits to his interests (and the interests other guest who was on the tour). In between stores, Sarah provided a lot of interesting local history and information too, which kept me engaged while my son shopped. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in vintage clothing and a little bit of a different way to experience Milan!
Ashi took me on a personalized shopping morning in Milan. A few vintage stores, but the most fun was the second hand designer stores. She also took me to look at Italian shoes and a few other stores. I made a few purchases and felt like a million bucks! Try to schedule around lunch time because several stores we’d like to visit were closed for lunch. I’d recommend for sure if you want to check out Milan fashion on a reasonable person’s price range!!
Fun afternoon with Ashi visiting cool shops I never would have found. She explained everything and also showed me some historical sites and food options to return to. I bought a few things and learned a lot! Ashi is conscientious and thorough. Highly recommend for anyone with a few hours to spare getting their bearings in Milan!
A tour of some cool vintage shops I never would have entered on my own as well as tips on shopping protocol, some info on local sites and dining options. I bought a few things and can head back later on my trip. Ashi is a kind conscientious guide!
Great insider knowledge on vintage buys and delightful company. The first couple of places were more mainstream (Humana) and I would have gone there anyway but I still learned new things and grabbed a bargain. I didn’t feel rushed or pressured into buying anything. I also loved the side knowledge about life in Milano. I was promised I’d be sent links to all the places we’d visited but I didn’t receive them which is a shame. I even checked my spam. That’s my only negative comment. A lovely afternoon otherwise.
Ashi was a great tour guide!! Friendly and informative. Met at nice cafe and started our journey! Loved the experience and will go again.
Ashi was a great tour guide on a day that was quite rainy. We were a small group, just me and another couple but Ashi took us to around 5 or 6 shops. Not all shops were my taste, but I did buy a top in one of them and it was nice getting a background in the different areas we were walking around. I arrived in Milan that day so it was a great way to start off my trip.
