My daughter and I had the pleasure of spending several hours with Caterina Torella. This was our first visit to Milano. We walked the streets and Caterina showed us many of the local clothing boutiques in a very lovely area of town. We laughed and enjoyed meeting many of the local designers many of whom make shoes and lovely garments. She tailored our tour for the types of items we suggested and we had many laughs together as we discussed various topics. Caterina also acted as our interpreter as many of the shop owners /artisans speak primarily Italian. It was a delightful day and we wish we could have spent a whole day with Catrina. This was one of our fondest memories in Milan . 💕🌷 She went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful day in Milan .

Our private walking tour with Keit was AMAZING! We were running late, but she was very accommodating for it. We started off our tour with the Forza castle, and she gave a lot of history about how Milan was back in the day. She was so informative yet she was also mothering, hip, cool, in those all of the hip areas in Milan that other tour guides probably would not though. She spent a lot of time giving us information about each parts of Milan, where to shop, and where to eat, etc. My husband and I had a great time with her and we recommend her for anyone who visits Milan. Would love to see her again when we go back to Milan! Thank you, Keit! -Czarina and Roman
Our Milano born tour guide, Keit who knows the city well … its people, good products, delicious food and culture. She is energetic and a lot of fun to spend time with. If you like to visit the local neighborhood…if you like to buy some good quality products with reasonable price and get all kinds of tips for food and shopping…you will get them from this tour. Both of my husband and I had a great time and learned a lot. Thank you!
Catarina is an amazing guide. Friendly knowledgeable not only about fashion (tour) we took. Along the way also had so much of the history. Our tour included more Than we could ever expect. She is amazing.
Catarina gave us a super fun day of shopping in Milan! Great little stores with lovely Italian made items, fun stories, exclusive discounts, great chats with store owners, and delicious gelato to top it off! If you are looking for the inside scoop on Milan shopping with someone beautiful, inside and out, call Catarina!!!
While being in Italy I have been on multiple tours and I can say confidently this is the best tour out of all of them. Keit does more than point you in the right direction, with Keit being very familiar with shop owners and vendors around Millan it became apparent super quickly she knew what she was doing, with her exuberant attitude and wonderful taste it became easy to find clothes and vendors that apply to my personal style. All while educating us on the the historical significance of the places we went as well. Bonus she also does amazing food tours so if you get hungry on the way she can recommend some of the best food in Millian as well!
I had a wonderful time with Caterina. It was so much more fun to explore the shops in Milan with her by my side. She knows just where to go and shared lots of history and tips along the way. Highly recommend!
I loved the experience, lots of local market hidden shops I wouldn't have found without Catrina and her lovely soul. Many thanks 🙏
So many wonderful things to say about our experience with Cat. We started planning our trip approximately 3 months prior to actually arriving in Milan. Cat was there to answer all of our questions and calm my anxiety. She was very quick to respond. We spent the afternoon shopping and eating around the city. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her role. We went to many lovely boutiques with the perfect price points. I never felt pressure to purchase things out of my budget (which I appreciate) and some amazing discounts too. She was very kind and full of energy. She made me feel special. She was worth the money. I highly recommend touring with Cat. If we return to Milan, I will look her up again. I can't say enough positive things about our experience and I'm going home with some excellent Italian clothing/shoes. Love You Cat!!!! Crystal S.
I loved my tour and our guide. We were able to hit the areas we would never have visited and the food, as promised, was delicious. Caterina was fun and flexible with planning. She immediately tuned into our style and it felt like we were out with a friend. I would request her again in an instant.
I only wish we could have done a tour every day! I think both Caterina and I were curious how this Fashion Tour would go. I’m much older than the typical Fashion Tour client and I had never done a tour with Viator. Well it turned out to be a great time. I was exposed to some of the local artisans which was why I signed up. But more than that I got to spend time with an open minded, open hearted local. We shared our own stories as we walked along ducking into local shops. It was all topped off with a spritz in Navigli. Grazie Caterina! Ciao ciao ciao!
We had A really nice day, with A lot of fun fashion shops! Caterina was a really nice tourguide with A lot of energie en passion about the city. So thank you for that Caterina
How do you encapsulate Milan fashion in such a short time? You ask a local like Caterina to show you her personalised view of this beautiful city and all that it offers to fashion! This was an experience I will remember for many years to come – to walk the streets with a local, to share some ’girl-time’, to laugh, chat and try-on all levels of Milano fashion! Caterina is such a beautiful soul who instantly invited me to share her world and enjoy seeing her perspective of the colours and creativity of Milan designers, boutiques and brands (from high-end to vintage and nouveau). If you have an interest in fashion (and why else would you visit Milan??) and can squeeze in a few hours of retail therapy between the many ‘tourist-trail cathedrals’ – this personalised tour is a must!
Caterina was exceptional! We came to Milan with a special purpose in mind- to find my fiance a suit for our wedding, but we didn’t know the first thing about suit shopping in Milan. Caterina went above and beyond. She did research before our appointment/tour and lined up four (4!!!!) special Milan suit places for us to visit. Two were ready made collections and two were appointments with special tailors who would make custom suits. The variety of the visits was perfect- two traditional and two modern. When the day came, having Caterina with us was amazing. While everyone could communicate with some english, having Caterina there to translate the details was a life saver. We were able to have specific conversations about what we wanted and learn a ton about what the suit makers/tailors thought was the best thing. When we went to the tailor made suit shops, Caterina was amazing at helping guide us through the process and broke everything down into steps for us. We got the best outcome we could have hoped for- a beautiful, tailor made suit for our wedding!! And the next day, when we went on a walking tour through Milan, another guide said (of the area of the places we visited with Caterina), “this is where real Milan people live and shop”. He didn’t even know we had purchased a suit there the day before! I cannot recommend Caterina enough. She made our Milan trip totally worth it and we are forever grateful!!! Book with Caterina and you won’t be sorry. She’s friendly, funny, energetic and knows her stuff!
I gave Caterina's wonderful private tour as a birthday present to my wife and she absolutely loved it. Caterina took her to amazing shops and helped her get an insight into the italian fashion. Caterina seemed to be a person who loves doing these tours with random people and my assuption turned out to be true, it was as if she was our friend from a long long time ago. She even customized the tour to my wife's liking, which made the experience even better. 10/10 all in all, top experience! Thank you very much Caterina! :)
