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.

Our tour guide, Bibi, planned a comprehensive and engaging tour of her native city. We saw both medieval and modern sites, with Bibi providing interesting information about each location. We took many fantastic photos! Bibi is a great tour guide: she is pleasant, knowledgeable, helpful, and flexible. A member of our group was bothered by a foot injury. Bibi graciously modified the walking pace and made some minor changes to our itinerary. ( I especially enjoyed riding the subway!) Bibi is the best!

Giulia was a very nice, accommodating, and knowledgeable tour guide. She was very patient and friendly. She made sure to take me to places I wanted to see and others she thought I would be interested and she was accurate. I liked the calmer sites she showed me as well. The botanical gardens were a pleasant surprise.

Our tour guide, Bibi, was a knowledgeable, warm, and engaging woman. She was compassionate and flexible, tailoring the tour to accommodate one of our party members who had a foot injury. Bibi ensured that we saw some of the best sights in Milan despite our friend's injury. Bibi is an excellent tour guide.
