See Leonardo’s Last Supper with a guide, then walk from Sforza Castle to the Duomo, Galleria, and La Scala in central Milan.
“Our tour guide - Rose, I believe, but sadly my memory can't recall, was outstanding. Her art knowledge of the Last Supper and its artist, his technique, and the story it depicts was informative and thought provoking. As our tour continued through the streets of Milan to the Sforza Castle, she helped to provide our group with insights and details that gave history and context to our visit in Milan. The learning will continue beyond our tour as our granddaughter continues to research the sights and work of da Vinci. Thank you for an amazing experience!”

Taste pizza, pasta, supplì, gelato, and more while walking from Piazza Navona through Rome’s Jewish Ghetto in a small group.

The foods were great and our tour guide was fabulous! He was very engaging and overall made the experience very fun. Would highly recommend!”

Taste Lecce street food while walking its Baroque lanes, Roman ruins, and grand squares with a small English-speaking group.
“Our tour guide provided a great historical overview of Lecce. The food stops were typical and not super impressive compared to another food tour we took in Bari for the same price. We appreciated that the guide called and helped us when we were at the wrong meeting point.”
