Visiting "Branca Tower" is a great opportunity to explore the wonderful surrounding area! The guide has been extremely polite & helpful, willing to reply to any questions & provide with information.

We had some extra time in Milan, so we chose to see the vineyard. The villa is amazing to walk through and the grounds are beautiful. The audio is very informative.

Nagyon nagy élmény felmmenni és onnét megnézni Milánot. A személyzet nagyon kedves, türelmesen kivárta amíg bámészkodtam.
