“This stadium tour was my present to my husband for his birthday. I didn’t want to go to stadium, but because City of Milan was a shockingly bad experience then I decided to go with him despite I don’t like football. So we went all together with our children age 5-8 and we all enjoyed the tour. The guide was so fast, everyone could do photos, view everything, and she was very kind, chatty and helpful. So this stadium tour is enjoyable for even someone who is generally not interested in football and personally this experience was the only one what we enjoyed when we visited Milan.Read more”

“No one was there to wait for us or gave us instructions even though we were told that we simply had to wait for the assistant with a yellow flag because she was late.. after half an hour we called again to ask for instructions and we were told to link to a dangerous website for the audio guide.. we obviously didn’t do it and so we scanned again a new link that lead us to the Natural History Museum in London!!! Absolutely ridiculous”

“This was one of the best tours I’ve ever done—amazing views, a beautiful route, and a well-thought-out self-guided experience. Just a few things to keep in mind: the ride is long and 9 hours might feel short if you plan to stop at viewpoints or local spots; in May it was warm at the start but got quite chilly near the Alps, so take a jacket; the optional restaurant reservation offered in the app wasn’t really needed as there were plenty of free tables; Elvis was very friendly and waited patiently for me to collect the scooter; and although the self-guided format was great, I think having a live guide…”

“This was a lot of fun! I did this tour with my granddaughters and we all enjoyed it! Great way to see the “untouristy” Milan.

Disappointing as the girls would have liked access to the game afterwards.”
