Super sweet and helpfull guide. Great tour :)
Very interesting Tour, smart & cool Guide sometimes like a Entertainer:) , a lot of historical places visited with a lot of Background Information from the Guide!
My partner and I went for a tour today with Nicola Ferrario and he was fantastic! As your guides ourselves we really appreciated the way he made the tour entertaining and gave us some facts we couldn’t have found ourselves. Thank you Nico
The walking tour was great. We learned a lot about Milanos history and monuments trough our local and young guide, got genuine recommandations for restaurants, bars and places to visit. Since it was design week Niko recommended a design tour which we did on the following day. Originally the tour was planned to be only in italian on that day, but they organised an extra tour in english for us. This tour also was very interesting, even for people that aren't design experts.
Great tour that shows not only the highlights of Milan, but also, and more importantly, the hidden gems of the city. The guide knows everything about Milan and, side-stepping the tourist traps, gave us the real Italian experience.
