Half day in Milan with a local

4 hours tailored to what you want to see and do. So whether it's ticking off main sites or discovering hidden gems, it's up to you and your host!

Don't forget to bring a compact umbrella as it can quickly turn from a blue-sky morning to a rainy, drizzly afternoon with little warning.

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 most

What you’ll do

In a city with so many must-have experiences – half a day might not seem like much. But with your local host and a caffeine kick from an extra-strong espresso, you’ll whiz through several of the city’s top attractions. Maybe centuries-old architecture like the gothic Duomo di Milano cathedral and the 15th-century Sforza Castle is on your list of must-sees, or perhaps the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (Italy’s oldest mall) and Via Monte Napoleone – Europe’s most expensive shopping street – are calling your name. Either way, the tradition of aperitivo at a canalside local haunt is the only way to end your day.

Great tour of the City and Reza, our guide, was extremely informative. His recommendations on places to eat and additional things to do afterwards were very helpful.

The depth of Massimo’s knowledge was amazing. His ability to communicate in English was great, and he even instructed us in the Italian words when that helped tell the story.

We had a fantastic time with our tour guide Bibi. She got in touch with us before our arrival to customize our experience. From the second we met her, we knew we were very fortunate to have a tour from a local. She knew every street, every corner, every restaurant and bar. We saw everything that we planned to see and more. I highly recommend Bibi if you want to tour like a local

Lisa was a knowledgeable and friendly guide who tailored our tour to meet our interests. She showed us some hidden gems that we would never have found on our own.

We were paried with tour guide Massimo and he was great! He was very kind, consideratae, and attenetive to accommodations we needed (using the lift at the duomo). I will be honest in saying that I didn't have much of an interest in Milan, but visited with family. Massimo made it come to life and made a nice day. We did the 4 hour tour. I wish we got to see more - but Milan is kind of the same thing all around.
