I had an amazing experience on the private tour of the Brera Art Gallery! The guide made the art come alive with fascinating stories about works by Raphael, Caravaggio, and Hayez. The skip-the-line tickets were a huge time-saver, and having someone lead us through the highlights of the museum made it so much easier to enjoy. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Milan who loves art!

My partner and I aren’t big art buffs, but this tour changed that. Learning how Caravaggio’s light inspired cinema was fascinating, and having a private guide made it even better.

Great Tour of the Brera Gallery!

Loved our guide, Francesca! She was super knowledgeable and made it well worth it. I don't think I would have enjoyed it half as much if I had gone without a private guide.
