Great servings, great wine and even better guide! - Worth it!
Got to see streets we may not have found on our own.
Got generous servings at over four restaurants. Guide gave future suggestions and knew lots of food detail as well as city facts.
Would recommend anyone who visits Milan!

Excellent, fun and informative tour - A brilliant, surprisingly cultured and fact filled tour. Our knowledgeable, friendly guide told us all about the food but also gave us lots of information about the area, history and architecture along the way. All the food we had was excellent and it was a brilliant way to get to know Brera and Milanese food. As a solo traveller I felt very welcome and met other solo female travellers on the tour too. It was a lovely group of people. We had such a nice time that a few of us spent the afternoon together afterwards. Highly recommend.

Do not go on this tour it is not worth the money - I don't have many good things to say about this food tour.
In my eyes, it is far too expensive, compared to what you get to eat and drink. And the way it is served is not very exciting.
I cannot in any way recommend anyone else to take this tour.
Our giude was sweet and nice, nothing bad on him (Luigi)
