How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
With your host as your own personal GPS, menu translator and restaurant reviewer, all you’ll have to worry about is flitting between pasticceria (small shops selling cakes and sweet treats), tasting pizza al taglio and panino - Milan is known for its love of gourmet sandwiches since it’s a city always on the move! You could try tramezzini – Italian bread traditionally sandwiching mozzarella, Squacquerone or Fontina cheese, and meat (smoked prosciutto and parma ham are always winners) – and mouthwatering toppings like olives, artichoke spread or balsamic vinegar cream. For something sweet, pop to a pasticceria and indulge in a classic tiramisu or cornetto, or try delectable diplomatico (layers of puff pastry, sponge cake, and pastry cream).

Marco is an excellent tour guide. He went beyond the normal to make our experience a memorable one. He didn’t rush us through places and modified the tour according to our desires. He is a very nice young man.

We had the most amazing time on our Foodies Tour of Milan. Our guide Gregory was an absolute delight who took as around some amazing sites of Milan and dazzled our culinary taste buds. It was a great way to learn how to navigate our way around Milan by foot and also sample some of the amazing food delights. There were 4 of us on our foodies tour and two of the group are nearly age 70 and found the walking tour not too exhausting and very easy to manage so this really does make it a good tour for all age groups. Gregory also met us at our apartment accommodation which was fantastic to start our tour from there. Gregory was an outstanding host and his knowledge of Milan, the food culture and great places to go to was second to none. He made the tour fun and joined in with us which was awesome. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the sights and sounds of Milan and experience the food culture. This was a massive highlight for our group. As a tip, definitely wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking a fair bit and a lot of the walking areas are cobblestones. This is definitely not the time for high heels ladies! Also, we started our tour late in the afternoon which is one of the best times (as our guide, Gregory pointed out) as it is before the rush of people heading out to eat later on but also gives you a great dining experience.
