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

    Simone was a very good guide and took us to several places within Milan and gave us a very good overview of the history broadly as well as the history of a few places in the tour. He took us on a bit of what he called the "secret part of Milan" and it was definitely less touristy and gave us good insights into a broader area. Definitely worth the time and though it was a quick tour, it also gave us ideas for other things to see and spend more time with.

    We had an amazing 3 hours with Marco exploring an amazing apart of the city including parks, playgrounds, museums, beautiful buildings and gelato to finish. The kids 10 and 13 had a great time and I would highly recommend the experience from start to finish. If you are wanting something to do - have a customised tour even for just 3 hours you won’t regret it!
