It is very clear that the guide is extremely knowledgeable but also has great pride in the level of artistry that has been produced by the great Italian artists of her nation. I had visited the Brera several times in the past but never with a guide. The guided tour provides much education and art enrichment that you could not obtain on your own. The guided tour provides a deeper understanding of the artist and the times within they existed. It is well worth your time and there is also an added bonus of a quick neighborhood tour of the Brera.
