A good tour to locate yourself and see everything that one will be able to see in later days. It helps a lot because Milan is extensive. If you don't have several days it's a quick superficial way to get to know Milan

It was really good !! pity that we are not on a guided tour, that is to say that we cannot visit the monuments at the same time. But for the price it's worth it.

A very nice experience to see the highlights of Milan And received all kinds of information via earpiece

Very easy to book and find locations for the start of tour, great information given on the tour.
