What you'll do

In Milan, the city that needs no introduction, you’ll get, well... a pretty great introduction! Think of it as a crash course in all things Milanese from your knowledgeable host, from learning how to navigate the city’s network of buses and trams to discovering the best local haunts for sunset aperitivo and a perfectly prepared risotto. You’ll weave through the backstreets of the city’s central districts, making mental notes of where to stop off again tomorrow, and even squeeze in some sightseeing – landmarks like Sforza Castle and Duomo di Milano cathedral are along the way! When you’re feeling snacky, grab an opportunity to pop into a cafe and ask your host any questions you might have over an extra-strong espresso. 

Where you’ll go

Buckle up for a masterclass in Milan starting in the city’s famous most-central districts – Centro Storico and Brera – then moving two miles south to Navigli. Why? If you can find your footing in the fast-paced city center’s tangled, tightly-packed alleyways with cobbled cafes, gorgeous galleries, and Renaissance buildings around every corner, then hop on the tram to the stylish Navigli neighborhood’s buzzing aperitivo bars and graffiti-lined backstreets crawling with incredibly well-heeled locals, you’ll be an honorary Milanese in no time. Along the way, you’ll also get a lesson or two in hunting down the top shopping spots (the opulent Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the oldest mall in Italy, is a good place to start).

    Simone was personal and very knowledgeable about Milan. Who knew there were beautiful flamingos in the middle of this city? We even made a wish into a sculptured ear on the side of a building! It was a fun and interesting walk, I got to see where the Necchi sisters of sewing machine fame lived We are requesting to go on another tour with Simone.

    Was planning a last minute trip for my husband and I to Milan and the day before we left, I found City Unscripted and read the reviews and decided to book a 3 hr tour. I filled out a small survey regarding our likes and dislikes and a bit after I received an email from our tour guide Gregory asking us what we would like him to include in our tour. We met him right next to il Duomo Milan and it was just the three of us. He was such a delight as he gave us a lot of information regarding each place we stopped which is exactly what I like on tours. I can't praise enough about Gregory as he made us feel like we were family. He helped booking our train tickets to Lake Como and Florence for the upcoming days we had left it Italy and had a small hiccup the last day we were there and he assisted us on how to get a refund on the train tickets. He is such an asset to your company and will definitely request him again when we go back and for any friends or family that may go to Milan.
