The 10 Tastings of Milan With Locals: Private Food Tour

With all the COVID-generated craziness we booked everything at the last minute, including this tour. Armando contacted me within minutes of booking and explained that there needed to be more time to make arrangements at restaurants. Totally understandable! We tried to reschedule but out travel plans didn’t allow. Armando recommended canceling but it was inside of 24 hrs. He was able to meet at the time and took us to 5 different local places. Food was great and his commentary was very interesting! My recommendation would be to not show available slots or give warning of lead time needed. Would do it again if had more time.

Very friendly Guide. Interesting tour and Quarternice. Thanks for Interesting hints for local Restaurants.

We met our tour guide Armando who was very nice and personal. We stopped at 5 places and was able to visit the old town to. The tour was lovely but disappointed that it was only 5 stops and not 10. That was the description 10 stops.

We had a very good time in Milano during the tour. Serena was a great host who introduced us to a very nice part of Milano where we also made our 4 stops for the food. The money was definitely worth the trip. The local food was quite nice and it was great to learn more about Milano/Italy from a local. Finally, we were very pleased to do the tour with a German speaking host, which was unexpected but of great help for those of us who are not proficient in English. Thank you, Serena! We wish you all the best =)

A really great way to start a visit to Italy. We were joining a tour group later that day so decided to fill the day with this Milan food tour. Met Serena who introduced us to some of Milan's history and the architecture of the Brera district and then walked the narrow cobblestone streets. We stopped at a deli for a tray of prosciutto, salami, speck, cheeses, fruit, vegetables and a glass of wine. All of it very good. Then on to a gelato shop with choices of about 16 flavors. I had two types of chocolate - oh so very good - like fudge. If that wasn't enough then on to the canoli shop. Oh my - another chocolate delight. Because it was Easter Monday - a Holiday in Italy, many shops were closed including a chocolate shop we would have visited. The streets were full of people with children in strollers and their dogs out for casual strolls. Not in any hurry like Americans. I think we would have taken in more of the sites, except after an international flight we were ready to return to our hotel. We had a little trouble finding the meeting place, even though the address was clear. We asked directions of people we met along the way - they were so helpful, even using their phone to call Serena. Definitely would recommend this tour and Serena who was so delightful, knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you.

Highly recommend this tour, a great introduction to the foods and culture of Italy. Our tour guide Serena was simply wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and took us to places that made us feel like locals. Charcuterie, chocolate, granita, regional specialities and the best canolo ever canolli to us in the States. What a great start to our time in Itlay.

The food tour was really nice. We not only traveled to various cafes/restaurants that offer some of Milan's best pizzas and canolis, but we also went to over-looked attractions that other tours simply miss. Definitely recommended for small groups. Se did a great job!

L'amabilité et le dévouement de notre guide. Les dégustations de produits et l'histoire de la ville. Pour une première expérience de ce genre ce fut parfait.
