⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Giacomo was just fabulous 🤩 it was one of the best parts of my stay in Milan. The tour was a wonderful experience you really get to know the city well, from the colourful city market with beautiful fresh produce to the the new city’s finance centre, vertical forest and Milan’s beautiful forest like parks. Pace is wonderful, coffee was delicious, anybody can do this tour, is safe and with bike friendly lanes. Giacomo is professional, warm, nothing is too much trouble and most important he loves his city.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Giacomo is a local guy who grew up in Milan. He’s very friendly, flexible to your needs and follows the hidden tracks that you would not see if visiting Milano by foot. It’s not a mass-event with a lot of people so you can stop wherever you want to take pictures etc. We had a really great time with Giacomo, thanks!

Practical and very fun to do. The 4 and 7 year olds weren't very keen but it helped to make the walk fun and get them to observe those around them. We have, depending on the time, chosen the order we wanted, constantly adapted. This allowed us to discover some magnificent buildings in Milan.

Excellent!! Giacomo was our guide. He was punctual upon arrival, helped us set up the bike and gave us safety tips. Then he gave us a tour of the entire city, including the main sites. Even places that do not appear on social networks such as the new financial district, etc.

A great way to see the city when you're only there for a short time Very convenient
