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
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.

Andrea was a phenomenal guide for our tour in Milan. He took us to all of the major cites in the city as well as some lesser known areas that were beautiful. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of the questions we had with additional information that was relevant but we didn't think to ask.

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
