My girlfriend and I had just a single full day to spend exploring on a quick stop through Milan last September, 2019. I sort of fancy myself as a bit of an amateur historian and planned to explore the city on my own, but she knew better and booked us for the "Milan in 1 Day" tour with Veditalia. Am I ever glad she did! I had never been to Milan before and had a pretty lengthy list of things I wanted to see if ever one day I would visit. We saw most of the items on that list, and discovered many great sights that weren't on the list (but should have been) as well. And our guide for the day, Charlie, was perhaps the best and most delightfully unexpected discovery of them all! He was organized, well spoken, charming, humorous and very knowledgeable about not only the attractions on our itinerary, their history and cultural significance, but also seamlessly weaved in with that their relationship with life in the city over time up to and including the issues of life in modern Italy today. I gained a new appreciation for and understanding of Italy that I totally was not expecting. I could not ask for more than that! Thank you Charlie. And thank you Veditalia. You were a personal force-multiplier for my enjoyment of a trip I'd dreamed about making for decades. I will definitely book with you again on my next visit. :)

I booked this tour for me and my husband on a whim just to give us something to do for the weekend...and it was an excellent decision! Our guide Cristina responded to us within an hour to inquire about our food preferences and to also ensure that we didn’t have any allergies which we found to be very helpful and thoughtful. Once we met up at the designated time, she was very informative about each place we went to and she showed us some different restaurants that we may not have ventured into had we visited Verona on our own. At each place, she asked us if we wanted photos and let us take our time to marvel at everything after explaining the history behind it. We even got to see the arena which was sooo beautiful in person. If you want a tour guide that is going to show you more than just the typical tourists routes, book with Cristina. She made our experience worthwhile.

A journey through time, to discover the places of the Risorgimento. Here was made Italy; here the idea of the Red Cross was born.
Inclusions: Entrance tickets to the 3 Museums
Exclusions: Guided tour not included, transportation not included
Reviewed By ajuliaw65
My daughter had studied the Risorgimento for A level and really wanted to visit Solferino but it seemed impossible to get there without a car so when we found out you could get to San Martino by public transport, we decided to go there instead. We followed the instructions given by other Tripadvisors to get there from the end of the Number 1 bus. Just one clarification. When at the San Martino bus stop, you need to stand with your back to the bus stop, walk to the right and then turn left to get to the main road. It was a horrid walk across first the railway bridge and then the motorway bridge on a busy road without pavements, particularly on the way back when it was pouring with rain so not recommended for younger kids. Just before you get to the tower, there is a path on the right down to the charnel house which is worth a visit. The altar is surrounded by skulls of those who died, and the rest of their bones are stacked up in the crypt. The tower itself offers amazing views over the lake and back towards Solferino and it is incredible to think about how what is now fertile ground covered in vines was once the site of such a bloody battle. On the way up there are some interesting objects from WW1 (see lots of different ways of using helmets to make other things such as shovels and cooking pots) and then there is a museum behind the tower. Top tip, the toilets round the back of the museum were the cleanest I have seen in Italy.

The view from the garden was amazing. Jacopo was very informative about the wine making process, how to pair them with food, and how to tell the quality of the wines made in Italy. Each wine that he brought out had its own distinct flavor based on the process of how it was made and it made the experience more enjoyable. If you haven't had a chance to try some Italian wine but are interested, this is a great place to start!
