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).

Reviews

    We had such a nice morning walking the streets with Ilaria. She was personable, knowledgeable and catered to our interests. We had our two children (10 and 11 years old) with us, and they enjoyed this experience very much! It was actually the highlight of our daughter's experience in Milan. We recommend booking this earlier in your visit to Milan as it will give you a feel for the numerous neighborhoods and hidden gems in the city. Ilaria went above and beyond, emailing us afterwards with restaurant recommendations for both Milan and Como area. We highly recommend this experience - whether traveling solo or in a group.

    We had a wonderful time strolling around Milan with Ilaria. She knew some of the best neighborhoods, hidden gems and interesting sites. We had our 2 children with us and they enjoyed the tour as well. She also had amazing restaurant recommendations for Milan and Como (another stop later on our trip). We would highly recommend her and using Viator.

    Simone was an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. The tour of Milan was very interesting and he took us to places that we would never have discovered on our own, who knew their was a family of pink flamingos living in the centre of Milan. It’s inspired us to return to Milan at a later date and see more of this beautiful City!
