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 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.

We had a wonderful walking tour of Milan. Our guide Bibi was very fun and knowledgeable. She managed to include many sites and neighborhoods into a short 3 hours. The time flew by! This tour was a great way to make the most of our short time in Milan. It also made me appreciate the city much more. Thank you, Bibi!

Our guide Lisa was terrific. She took us to a number of places, including one that required a subway ride. Besides seeing a lot, we learned so much. She went above and beyond to meet our requests. I highly recommend her.

Michela was fantastic. Her passion for the city of Milan, and for art and architecture, was apparent from the start. She tailored the tour to our pace, and was very aware of traffic and other issues. We enjoyed her anecdotes and her historical knowledge and also her willingness to provide recommendations for various iconic eateries. Highly recommend.
