Bruno was absolutely wonderful! There were so many things we wanted to see, but we knew our kids would get bored quickly. Bruno made sure they were engaged the entire time and they loved every second of it. The parents and grandparents also loved it! It is 100% worth the money to do the family tour if you have kids. Our kids were ages 7,8 and 10.

Una caccia al tesoro divertente e stimolante: Bruno, la guida, oltre che essere competente, sa coinvolgere i bambini con storie, aneddoti e immagini storiche. Due ore piacevoli, assolutamente consigliata!

Ho partecipato alla caccia tesoro in lingua inglese a Milano come parte di un team building organizzato dalla mia azienda con colleghi di Francia e Spagna (gruppo di circa 28 persone). Bruno, la nostra guida, è stato molto competente e bravissimo a coinvolgere tutti, anche i colleghi stranieri. Pur essendo di Milano, ho scoperto tanti aneddoti e fatti storici sulla città (e anche sul nostro Paese in generale) che non conoscevo. È stata un’esperienza molto istruttiva e divertente, assolutamente consigliata!
