Great tour on Oct 4, 2018 with City Unscripted guide - Beatrice! At my request, we spent much of our time in the Navigli neighborhood at dusk enjoying aperitivo and dinner. Beatrice knew all the charming places along the canal and also offered recommendations for the rest of my trip in Cinque Terre and Amalfi Coast. With friendly, personable Beatrice I felt I was experiencing Milan as a local. Thank you!

Pushing the doors inside several hidden churches that most tourists will never see, you’ll encounter some of the finest masterpieces of Caravaggio, Bernini, and Borromini in their original context, diving into a deeper understanding of each historical beauty.

Absolutely enjoyable day with Sylvia, we wish it could have gone longer! Sylvia shared a lot of knowledge and even provided a list of insider tips things to do which we ended up doing many on our own time so a big thanks! We had booked this tour inadvertently on a holiday but despite some things being closed Sylvia improvised and brought us to many great places topped off with an incredible lunch at a very local authentic restaurant. We highly recommend this tour with Sylvia!
