What people who took this tour have said.

I really enjoyed this tour. The information about Da Vinci is very interesting and it is a nice way to see a lot of the city. The app is also very accessible, user friendly and in general a good tour guide. Overall a solid tour, I would definitely recommend it.

This was a great comprehensive tour on the live of Leonardo da Vinci. At each stop you get a glimpse into a different stage of his life and work. While doing this tour, you see many important historical buildings and how they relate to da Vinci’s life. I liked that each stop on the tour made me pause to appreciate the surroundings while I listened to the audio. Overall a nice way to get to know the city while also learning more about one of its most famous residents.

Very nice to do a guided city walk tour about a specific theme. This way it is not overwhelming (like trying to see everything in Milan) and I’m still learning and seeing a lot! You can make it a full day of exploring if you go into all the museums and the Duomo (book/check in advance!) and take your time with lunch. We only got tickets for the Duomo and it was still a satisfying tour of the city and interesting to learn about Da Vinci (most places are free to see). For me some parts were a bit far to walk, especially without extra information in between. But it is possible to take public transport between stops. I like that you can read and listen to the information at the same time and that it includes pictures to check if you’re at the right place. Would recommend for a first visit to Milan!

It’s a very interesting and beautiful experience through Milanese’s streets. It’s a nice and particular way to discover the city through Leonardo’s eyes. I liked the simple concept of doing this tour only by myself. I chose time and mode independently.
