A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

In a city with so many must-have experiences – half a day might not seem like much. But with your local host and a caffeine kick from an extra-strong espresso, you’ll whiz through several of the city’s top attractions. Maybe centuries-old architecture like the gothic Duomo di Milano cathedral and the 15th-century Sforza Castle is on your list of must-sees, or perhaps the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (Italy’s oldest mall) and Via Monte Napoleone – Europe’s most expensive shopping street – are calling your name. Either way, the tradition of aperitivo at a canalside local haunt is the only way to end your day.

I had an amazing experience exploring Milan with Pritika as my guide! The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the Duomo—it’s even more breathtaking in person than I imagined. The sheer size and intricate details of the cathedral are awe-inspiring, and Pritika shared fascinating stories about its rich history and the centuries it took to build. We also visited some beautiful churches, each with its own unique charm, and the Leonardo da Vinci Museum, which showcased his brilliant inventions. To make the day even more special, Pritika introduced me to her favorite coffee shop and gelato spot—both were fantastic! Pritika’s knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour unforgettable. Highly recommend!

I got my tour with Tiziana and it was the best. She was friendly and super knowledgeable. She explained me every single detail from the places we went, she answered all my questions. I really enjoyed it and learned about Milan and its culture.
