    Everything was great. Booking was easily accomplished and payment easy. The same tour guide was with us for the entire time. She was very attentive to our questions, extremely knowledgeable about the places visit as well as the associated art and history. Absolutely pleasant to be in her company. I would not hesitate to use Tours of Milan again

    Paiva was our guide. Her knowledge was very deep and her love of all things Milan and all things art was astounding. Her enthusiasm made everything come alive for us. I would strongly recommend her and the agency. We booked thru Viator before leaving home and are glad we did.
