Delightful tour through the world of Italian fashion - Adriana reached out a couple days in advance to see about our interests, and she tailored our itinerary through the Quadrilatero della Moda. Excellent tour through the big names in Italian fashion as well as local artisans you've never heard of. This was the perfect way to get oriented on our first day in Milan, and Adriana was so friendly and a font of knowledge on the fashion world.

Capital of Fashion - Had the best morning with Adriana touring around the fashion district of Milan. She started the tour by giving us an insightful history lesson of the fashion houses of Italy and how Milan became the fashion capital- laying the foundation of the day. Then we walked the streets and and talked about the different Italian brands that influence the fashion world today - new emerging brands and the old cornerstones that all are still relevant today. We walked into stores and we got to do some Shopping with her as well and picked out some great prices that I will treasure for years to come. She made my husbands birthday super special- accommodating several male brands to make sure he got something for himself as well. We also did a nice stop in an old Milanese patisserie for a cappuccino and snack. Was interesting to also learn about current initiatives in the fashion world and the healthy competition between the Italian and French fashion houses. Would love to do the tour all over again. Adriana was a jewel- gives great energy and she is full of knowledge.

Jewish heritage in Milan - Learned more about my Jewish heritage. I had not known anything about Jewish roots in Italy. Seeing how There was a Jewish revival. But also, the threat to it as evidenced by the military guards at the ends of the the street.

Fabulous Fashion Tour! - We spent a fabulous morning with our guide Sze. As Milan is the fashion capital of Italy, we wanted to know a bit more about what makes Milan tick, apart from historic buildings, cathedrals, museums etc. and this tour fit the bill. Sze described the historical foundations of Milan as a fashion, and fabric centre, which we found fascinating. Sze has a vast knowledge of the history of the fashion industry, and delivered information in an entertaining and interesting way. We visited Palazzo Morando -a museum dedicated to the history of Milan and to fashion, where historic fabric samples are shown, some of which are still available today at the same fabric manufacturer. We did lots of high-end window shopping, while Sze explained the Milanese way of dressing and how fashion in Milan, even today, always has some nod to the past. He was able to demonstrate this with visits to designer shops to look at items. It was an enjoyable and fun tour and gave us an insight into the fashion side of this fantastic city. Along the way, going along back streets to get from one area to another, we discovered little pockets of Milan, including a secluded small garden, that we otherwise would not have seen. Highly recommend!

Really nice to walk... - Really nice to walk around Milan with a local. Learned a lot about changes in the city’s growth, and changes in the big fashion brands, which shops are independent and famous. I had been hoping to learn more about actual styles of designers themselves, current trends, how Milanese think about fashion, and maybe to actually go in some shops. I’m really glad we got to cover so much ground, but I needed to do much of it again to have time to go into places of interest.
