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 day with Massimo! He showed us some of the beautiful spots in Milan, including the Duomo, Galleria, and Sforzesco castle. We also were able to stop at a small church with a really interesting forced perspective of the typical cross lay out of the church. Massimo was engaging and informative, he really provided us with a lot of interesting information. I would highly recommend this tour.

We just had the best tour! Tiziana our guide was amazing. She tailored the tour to suit our needs perfectly. We were a family of 6 from ages 10 through to 70 and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. We laughed and even cried. Tiziana is extremely knowledgeable and we feel lucky to have had her show us around Milan. Grazie mille

Reza was an excellent guide. He was punctual, communicated clearly, and always kept me informed of his whereabouts. His knowledge of history was impressive and added great depth to the tour. As a solo female traveler, I especially appreciated that he ensured I got home safely after the tour. I highly recommend his services.

Very interesting and informative excursion. Unlike crowded bus tour this one is definitely tailored to your interest . Price is very reasonable for the time the guide spends for you. Francesco is local and very knowledgeable . My son 13 was very interested and focused for the whole time. If you never been to Milan, Francesco is the right guide to introduce you to the city!
