I am a CERTIFIED TOUR LEADER

Hi I’m Silvia, a local host who divides her time between Milan and the enchanting shores of Lake Como. What I love most is how these two worlds complement each other: Milan with its international spirit, discreet elegance, and seamless blend of history and modern life, and Como with its natural beauty, rich heritage, and relaxed dolce vita lifestyle. In Como, I know the villas, restaurants and villages inside out - from iconic Bellagio to hidden, peaceful corners that reveal the lake’s authentic soul. In Milan, I enjoy uncovering its refined side: from the great landmarks like Piazza Duomo and Santa Maria delle Grazie to the charm of Brera, the Navigli, and cozy bookstores and cafés. With me, you’ll experience both cities not just as a visitor, but through the eyes of someone who truly loves and understands them.

My reviews

    Silvia was a wonderful host - the experience was extremely positive from recommending what we should see during our time together (based on our preferences), meeting us at our hotel, and then taking us to all the wonderful sites. She told us what tickets to purchase at the Duomo and La Scala and secured fast entries and took us to some beautiful places we’d never find on our own. She shared the history and culture of Milano with us and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together. We highly recommend this personalized tour and Silvia most of all! Grazie Silvia!!

    Silvia was absolutely amazing! She gave us the perfect mix of history and local insight — making the walking tour both memorable and meaningful. It never felt like just sightseeing; every stop had a story and a connection to Milan today. Her passion for the city really comes through, and she has a great way of keeping everyone engaged without it ever feeling rushed or rehearsed. I highly recommend Silvia to anyone looking to spend a few hours with a local who truly knows Milan — the places worth seeing, and the stories worth hearing. Five stars, without question!

    Silvia was a special guide. She made a great itinerary for a two hour tour based on things we wanted to see and do. She was very clear with communication and directions on how to meet her from our hotel. As soon as we met her, it felt like we were meeting up/visiting with a friend. At the end of the tour, she walked us to our tram stop so we could head to a cooking class. When it looked like we would be late due to a delayed tram, she called the restaurant to notify them that we would be late. Additionally, as she was familiar with Como, she found us a parking garage near our upcoming boat tour. Thankful she went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable our first day in the city. Thanks for a fabulous time!

    Having a personal guide made it so much easier to visit the sites we wanted to see in Milan. Sylvia was very knowledgeable and personable. A delight to spend our 3+ hours with her.
