Barbara Quarello - privatemilantours

We had two tours in Milan with Barbara this fall, and they were great. Informative, illuminating, and exciting. Barbara is a thoroughly knowledgeable guide to Milan, not only to its obvious monuments but also to what she calls the "hidden" Milan. She is personable, responsive to questions, and apparently tireless. We enjoyed our time with her very much. I recommend anyone interested in learning about Milan, its history and its art, and in particular about Leonardo da Vinci, to seek out a tour with Barbara Quarello.

Our team was new to Milan and hired Barbara for a tour because she could customize it to our needs. We wanted to focus on the city of Milan and how design started there and share some locations for future installation viewing at Milan Design Week and Fuorisalone. She was excellent and everyone on the team said it was one of their most favorite parts of the trip. It was a wonderful way to start our trip off with extensive knowledge and understanding of the city! She was able to book an amazing restaurant for us as well at the end of it. We loved her carefree attitude and openness to steer the tour with what we preferred as we went along. She was super knowledgeable, and we hope she will be a great future resource in Milan to us in the future.

Barbara custom tailored a tour of Milan for us. We saw some of the “greatest hits” along with several hidden spaces we never would have seen on our own. She had a great sense of history and culture and made it all relatable. She is very personable, as well!.

We had a private tour of The Brera gallery in Milan with Barbara. Her extensive knowledge of the vast art collection housed at the Brera made for an incredible experience. Would highly recommend her as a tour guide!

If you want to discover the hidden gems of Milan please contact Barbara. She did a tailor made walking tour of the City and we discovered many amazing places. We were a group of 11 and everyone enjoyed the City Tour and the wealth of knowledge from Barbara. Thank you once again Barbara.

Had a great visit to Milan, Genoa and Lake Como with Barbara. Family of 4, we travel to Europe usually every year so had some pretty specific requests, she came through and had great suggestions for sites, restaurants and shopping. Would highly recommend

Had an amazing tour with Barbara. She was wonderful with our group making sure to hit all of the highlights and interests we had. She provided a unique experience in crafting the day to meet whatever we wanted. Highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend her to anyone seeking an interesting and informative tour.

Barbara was an excellent tour guide. She is very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Italy and also very passionate about it. We took a private Jewish tour visiting the Holocaust Memorial in Milan and .a synagogue.We never felt rushed and she was eager to answer any questions we had. She speaks English fluently and explains well. I highly recommend her a guide.
