100% recommended. My colleagues and I, we all loved the tour and the food experience. - We booked the tour as a private tour for our team at work. We were 10 people. Our guide was Francesco and he was great! He has a wonderful personality of being nice and fun, polite and calm and very knowledgeable. We've learned so much about Milan and the food but it was entertaining all of the time. The restaurants we went to were so beautiful. The food and drinks we got were just amazing. By coincidence we had the same appetizer in a high-class restaurant the day before but the same dish tasted much better on the tour with Walking Palates. We also took pictures from the bottles we drank from because the tastes were astonishing. My colleagues and I we just loved it. Francesco - thank you so much for your patience and the wonderful tour. Claudia, thank you so much for your help behind the scenes to make it all work for us. I appreciate your support. P.S. The amount of food was enough to be satisfied for the rest of the evening for everyone in our group. We also had dietary requirements (1x veggie, 1x Muslim, 1x no alcohol). Nice alternatives were ready for them at every stop.

Great arrival day trip. - Our guide was fluent in English. She was friendly and knowledgeable regarding each Lication and the menu. Each store offered fabulous food and wine with friendly service. Took the tour in night of arrival. Great way to get fresh air and dinner without over thinking.

A great guide can make a good experience even better - Foods were wonderful. Loved the progressive 'dinner' approach and wine paintings. But the best part by far was our guide. Agnes was outstanding in every way.

Great tour - This was a fun way to get to know a bit more about Milan, not to mention delicious. Our tour guide was wonderful and she gave us a great restaurant recommendation for Bellaggio, where we were going the next day.

Milan food tour - Sharing stories with guide and fellow travelers was the best part. The evening tastings were more than enough for a meal. The restaurants that we visited were quite nice. Wine was served at each stop except dessert, which were delicious cannoli. We had originally booked lunch, which the company canceled but fortunately we had time in the evening to reschedule.

Good guide, very basic food,mosquito problem with no warning. - The tour guide Christina was very good. The food was really ordinary and unsophisticated given the beautiful food that Milan has to offer. You should also have warned us of the mosquito problem of which you are aware as we were outside at one eatery and several of us were bitten repeatedly.
