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.

Visiting the Pinacoteca di Brera with Giorgio was one of the most interesting museum visits I’ve ever had and certainly the highlight of our trip to Milan. In addition to the beautiful paintings, our guide Giorgio was spectacular, providing additional insights that greatly enriched what we learned. The Brera neighborhood also surprised us. It’s a very charming neighborhood, full of life, with restaurants and shops featuring emerging brands. I highly recommend this tour! Thank you, Giorgio! You made all the difference!
