Free Walking Tour
Nico was relaxed and friendly. He gave us enough information to be useful but moved on to a explain another historical area fairly quickly. The walk was entertaining as well as informative and I would recommend this tour.
Really nice tour! Nicola was nice and entertaining. There was a bit too much advertisment and announcements about other events - But I guess you have to do that to keep going. I enjoyed it and its a nice way to see the City and meet new people :)
Really nice and interesting tour with Niko. Tour was perfect length whilst still.being informative - would very much recommend!
Nico was a great tour guide, he's very passionate on sharing every aspect of MIlan, from history to Ice cream shop;-) The tour was in relatively quite places because there we can all focus on the story-telling. The group was also in a small size comparing to my experience in Copenhagen where 30 ppl was in a group. Honestly I thin everyone prefers a small group where you can always ask questions and also make frds with your group mate! All in all, it is a tour that is fun, interactive and you'll absolutely enjoy!
I just arrived in milan and had only 2 days to explore the city. As i was staying in Ostello Bello Grande, i saw the pamflet about the free daily walking tour at 3pm. It was a little difficult to find my way from the Ostello Bello Grande hostel to the Ostello Bello via Medici, but i managed to just find the place as the group was leaving for the tour. Our guide was Beatrice, she was very pleasant and energetic and she showed us around a few interesting sites in Milan i would most propably have not gone to, if not for this tour. We visited a beautiful small church with amazing paintings on the walls and ceilings. We also went to the wall street building and 'gazed' at the 'finger' art sculpture. I got to know that other than the rich history Milan has, Milanese also have a big acceptance of humor and art. It was a great 2 hr tour. Thankyou for the journey.
