Hi! I am Isa and I feel like I'm a "seeker" of wisdom, and what interests me most is doing things that really matter, so I love creating experiences that foster meaningful relationships. I am a PhD in Sociology and Specialization in Ecopsychology, and my current research is based on the Neoplatonic philosophy of the Renaissance and the works of art and architecture that this historical philosophical movement created. So I am really honored to invite you to my experiences that I believe are interesting and revealing, and most and foremost, to distill something useful for your own life. Looking forward to meeting you soon!!

It was a great tour filled with interesting anecdotes about Da Vinci and his time in Milan. Isa is well versed with the topics relating to Da Vinci and explained patiently our doubts and questions. Will definitely recommend this walking tour. Looking forward to attending the other tours Lisa conducts, the next time I'm in Milan.

Isa's tour war really informative and logically structrured. I feel very enriched with wisdom and highlights she gave us, she was amazingly prepared and very passionate about the topic. She also had a great wisdom about things that weren't explicit part of the tour, but gave us answers to castle-related topics as well. Highly recommended to people who gain some wisdom and inspiration about Leonardo's life! :)
