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.

Silvia was a special guide. She made a great itinerary for a two hour tour based on things we wanted to see and do. She was very clear with communication and directions on how to meet her from our hotel. As soon as we met her, it felt like we were meeting up/visiting with a friend. At the end of the tour, she walked us to our tram stop so we could head to a cooking class. When it looked like we would be late due to a delayed tram, she called the restaurant to notify them that we would be late. Additionally, as she was familiar with Como, she found us a parking garage near our upcoming boat tour. Thankful she went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable our first day in the city. Thanks for a fabulous time!

This was a fantastic tour. Bibi was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She met us at our hotel and planned a 3 hour tour that took us to many hidden gems we would have never seen. Her enthusiasm was refreshing and she hit the spots of our interest and gave us many recommendations for shopping and dining.
