Shan was very knowledgeable about Milan and we were shown both large well-known sights and lesser known ones. He gave us tips on Italian coffee culture and treated us to a delicious cappuccino. He was on-time, respectful and optimistic despite the rainy day.

My husband and I had a wonderful tour with Shan. We were not very familiar with Milan and booked very last minute but with just a few answers from us on what we enjoy, Shan was able to plan an amazing tour for us. He was very personable and we felt more like we were learning about the city from an old friend. It was a great mix of history and architecture for us and Shan was very accommodating. We will definitely be coming back to Milan and working with him in the future

We really enjoyed our time with Zeeshan. Felt like an old friend showing us around his city. Very knowledgable and gave us great tips and ideas to explore after our tour. Highly recommended.
