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.

Ask for Connie! She made Milan come alive for us. Our 4 hour tour flew by with Connie’s lead. She’s part teacher, part historian and part storyteller.

Connie is the best! Her knowledge coupled with her great people skills makes her a perfect tour guide. Highly recommend her!

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.
