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.

We had a great day with Giulia. She knew very much about Milan but also about other countries. She has travelled a lot so she could easily compare to other countries or moments in history. It was a very nice tour that she had figured out and it all went too quick. She showed us several parts of Milan and we are sure we will be back to enjoy more of this beautiful city. Thank you so much Giulia for a day well spend with one of the best guides we ever met.

Giulia arrived 5 minutes before our meeting time and is a lovely, well educated person. She had figured out what to do in the 3 hours tour and could tell us everything about Milan but as she has travelled a lot she could easily compare to other coutries or situations in history. We have had a great time and she showed as so many different sides of Milan that I am sure we will get back soon to enjoy this beautifull city. Thank you Giulia for a great day!!
