Wonderful tour and the best guide
My wife and I decided to take the evening tour of the Brera District including visits to several pubs. The guide took us to several fine distilleries where we were guided to choose the best beer/wine and taste the snacks. Being vegetarians we were kind of wondering what we were going to get but the guide made sure that we were properly taken care off with authentic food. Thanks Anna, you were great! And, of course, we are still talking about our companions from US and Australia.
