1. Discovering the Navigli District
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
Explore Milan’s Navigli district, on a 2-hour walking tour. Discover one of the most beautiful and vibrant districts in Milan with a friendly local guide. It dates back to the second half of the twelfth century, the creation of the first canal! What is the magic of these channels is hard to tell if there is a magnet for artists of every race, this is just the water, neither clear nor sweet, of the Naviglio. Leonardo, who designed the system of locks to remedy the problem of the altitude of the land and to make it possible to navigate, do not lose the opportunity to make some sketches, now preserved at the Museum of canals. Today it is impossible to restore the river navigation of the past, but there is "the progetto parco della Martesana" which is an intelligent response to restore to man as Milan the charm and splendor of this picturesque waterway.

We have to say that EMILIO (our guide) was absolutely awesome. We are sooooo pleased we chose this bike tour because everything worked out just perfectly. The walk from the Metro station took only a matter of minutes and it was so easy to find Via Rovella. We received a real warm welcome!!! The bikes were in great condition. Emilio is like a walking/riding Google on info about Milan. His English is fluent. In short, he gets the highest medal for professionalism !!! We couldn't have wished for better. Well done Emilio !!!

We had the pleasure of meeting Paolo who walked us through the history of the castle and the wine-making process. We got to taste wine at the different stages. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the factors that affect each element of the wine and explained things in a very clear manner. The tasting was outstanding, showcasing the differences between the grapes grown just a few meters away from each other. We loved the experience and would highly recommend it as a couple’s activity or with friends.

What a thrilling adventure in the city of winding canals with ornate bridges, captivating narrow streets, romantic gondolas and European splendor! We scheduled our photo shoot through Shoot My Travel and met our award-winning photographer Luca in the midst of the world-renowned annual carnival excitement and he made our dream vacation to the Italian city of Venice unforgettable! Not only is he an amazing human being, he’s also a phenomenal photographer with so much patience and passion! At first we were both a bit shy to be doing a photo shoot – especially just the two of us when we’ve spent a lifetime photographing our four now-adult kids. I guess it’s our turn now that we’ve become empty nesters and we’re learning all about the fun and excitement of traveling the world - but this time as a couple again! – (Not to mention that the Shoot My Travel photo shoot was a Christmas gift from our youngest son encouraged by his three other siblings.) Luca immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease, and the more we talked with him about all things Italy, Venice, photos and life, the more fun and attractive the photo session became. In minutes we were both laughing and totally in the zone as he stepped back to capture just the right moments through his lens. He knew all the right photo spots in a city filled with breathtaking architectural treasures - and although the mysteriously beautiful narrow alleys were crowded with the excitement of Carnevale di Venezia, he knew exactly which winding streets to take to arrive at just the perfect setting. Seeing the photos now just brought back beautiful memories and images of a place we only dreamed about visiting someday. Luca went far beyond the scope of his job as a destination photographer. He perfectly “read us” by taking the time to talk with us and impeccably captured the moments, as if he had known us all his life - with a huge smile on his face and lots of energy and vision. We will forever hold this city in our hearts and thanks to this amazing photographer, these fun and very beautiful images will tell our story. Instagram: @luca_rajna

We booked a Localgrapher for a couples shoot in Arizona. The results were okay at best, and we regretted not seeking out an established local in the area. For the price, we received 60 very average choices and the ability to select 35 shots. We couldn’t even find 35 framed correctly. The localgrapher website is also a joke which requires a youtube video to figure out. The UI is terrible and the photos will disappear rapidly so do not wait to download (set aside a couple hours - that’s how bad it is). But really, just avoid. Hire someone directly.
