Giacomo was a fantastic tour guide! His enthusiasm for both the historical and present-day Milan really came through, and he kept my 10 and 15 year olds engaged throughout the tour. We got our scheduled Last Supper tickets, and he shared about its creation and restoration while we waited to go in and see it- I appreciate that we were allowed to view it in silence and appreciate it for the full 15 minutes with Giacomo’s context in mind, without having to hear narration at the same time. While we walked through the historical parts of the city after that, he shared interesting features of the sights, architecture and art- he quickly pulled up references on his iPad which allowed us to appreciate even more context. I had zero expectations of the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana museum, but he made it a really worthwhile, fascinating (uncrowded and air-conditioned!) stop and I’m so glad we went there. The wall-sized Raffaello sketch and Da Vinci drawings in the library were highlights. Thanks, Giacomo!

Paivi was great. Very cordial and very nice. Knowledgable and flexible. This is not her responsibility at all, but this was not skip the line AT ALL. false advertisement. I skipped no lines.

Paivi was a wonderfully engaging and knowledgeable guide. It was a great visit.
