Great to be able to see the city and get information via audio-guide. On the other hand, we were disappointed not to have been able to use the red line, as the roads were closed and buses could no longer get there. We had to continue on the blue line. Such a pity.

It was not possible to change during the tour as the next bus was overcrowded in the roof seats. The audio guide did not work in the lower seats.

The audio guide was not parallel to the route. There was a traffic jam and it didn't stop. The headphones were also faulty. You could only hear it in one ear. Otherwise tutto bene

The location for getting on and off the bus was easy to find, and the explanations were detailed and easy to understand. We were able to see famous poetic sights from the bus. We were able to get around efficiently in the limited time we had.

I was sold tickets for a service that was not offered. This is a scam and I will alert social media to ensure no one loses money life I have. This ruined an expensive holiday for my children

The tour was canceled because of the marathon but we didn't get any information about it and stood at the bus stop and no bus came. Tickets are paid and I am still hoping for a refund.

The red circuit is worthwhile for those who have time and wish to have a wide panorama of Milan.
The blue circuit is reduced to the most important points of the city.
Therefore most of them coincide with what the red tour showed.

Excellent team, atrentive to details. It was rainy weather and the accompanying girl few times cleaned the front window on the second floor just to make sure we get the best view possible in those conditions. Also the buses were clean and nice. We really enjoyed our tour in Milan with this company!
