Hi, I’m Michela
I’ve lived in Milan for 53 years
I speak English, French, Italian and some Spanish, German
I am a Tour leader/travel advisor
I'm Michela, a local host in Milan with a deep love for the city’s culture, creativity, and contrasts. I have a special connection to Brera - where I studied and where art, history, and inspiration fill every corner. I also adore Ortica for its vibrant street art and authentic Milanese charm, and Piazza Duomo at dawn, when the city is still asleep. I enjoy walking to the city center, visiting museums, libraries, and attending events like Design Week. I know areas like Brera, Isola, Navigli, and Ortica like the back of my hand. I’m passionate about Milan’s history and traditions, and I love sharing the city’s stories - whether through its markets, hidden gems, or world-class galleries.

An excellent tour with Michela! We visited the Duomo where she helped us buy tickets and then showed us lots of interesting things. We then went on to the famous shopping to soak up the atmosphere of this beautiful place. Michela took us to the castle pointing out some modern art along the way and we also had time to enjoy a coffee. We ended our tour at the last supper. (Tickets for this need to be purchased before had) Thank you Michela for a throughly enjoyable morning with you!

We loved our private tour around Milan with Michela. She helped us gain tickets to the Duomo and then gave us lots of interesting information about the Duomo. We walked around the central area which included the famous shopping centre before we then went on to the castle. We had time for a quick coffee along the way before arriving at the last supper. We bought tickets to see the last supper separately before hand. Absolutely worth the money with lots of memories made! Would definitely recommend.

Mikayla was great! Great communication leading up to our visit and easy to find. She was super friendly, knowledgeable, and showed us everything we needed to see in our 3 hour tour! Gave recommendations as well. A great way to see the city.

Michaela knows is very informative and flexible. She had stories that were relevant to the spots. I would have loved seeing Navigli as indicated in my app itinerary.
