However we did experience extreme difficulties in downloading the information and even though I paid for three “tickets” we could only get it to work on my phone. Disappointing as the girls would have liked access to the game afterwards.”

“I had a great time with the “Art Thief in Brera” quest experience! The concept is unique, and it was a fun way to explore Milan, especially Brera, while learning some fascinating historical facts along the way. Walking through so many iconic places really immersed me in the city’s art and history, which I loved. However, I felt the experience could be enhanced with a few more interesting tidbits or insider tips about the locations we passed. There’s so much rich history in Milan, and it would have been nice to dive a bit deeper into some lesser-known stories or quirky facts about the sites. Overall, it’s a fantastic way…”
