What people are saying about Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Excellent visits! We started with the vines of Leonardo da Vinci and what a great time! A visit rich in history, to do absolutely with the audio guide to have all the information necessary to understand the places! We then visited the Sforza Castle, another great moment! The Château is huge, clean, everything is well indicated inside. The many museums bring richness to the visit. With the audioguide it is very appreciable. The park at the back is a beauty! I highly recommend this activity.

This “combo” provides access to Leonardo's vineyards, the Sforza castle and lots of details on the buildings encountered in Milan. The entrance ticket for the castle and the audio guides for the castle and Milan had not been provided to me at the Vignes ticket office. A call and a What's app number sorted the issue in two minutes. Possibly to be combined with the visit to the Last Supper in the same district

What a great way to see and enjoy Milan!

The guide Fiamma was superb and full of local history and culture and knowledge. English was excellent. And the cooking pasta w Aurora was also such a treat and a fabulous evening and meal. We will enjoy the recipes w friends at home.

We had some extra time in Milan, so we chose to see the vineyard. The villa is amazing to walk through and the grounds are beautiful. The audio is very informative.

Super detailed tour with audio guide, maybe a bit too…
