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.

Loved the tour. The guide is very knowledgeable and very patient. We had a bumpy start as we had to stop at the ER room for our small child and the guide offered to meet us there and help with translation. After the ER visit we carried on with the trip and still had a lot of fun and immersed in the local culture. I recommend this guide and I’d do the tour again.
