Parco Sempione alone was worth the trip, but combined with San Siro Stadium & Museum tour this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Our trip to Milan was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Navigli canal boat tour was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond San Siro Stadium & Museum tour and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Booked this as a group trip and it was well paced. San Siro Stadium & Museum tour in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.
