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.

We had a great tour guide. Highly recommend unscripted tours. We had only one day in Milan and our guide Massimo emailed us two weeks before to get information on things we would like to see. Told us how to prepurchase the Last Supper tickets. He made sure everything was seamless and the walking was at our pace. Informative and great company for the day!

Bibi was great! She showed us so many interesting sites, definitely things we wouldn't have seen on our own. She was knowledgeable and very fun to talk to.
