I went on a tour of Milan with City Unscripted, and they did such a great job of tailoring the tour to what I was most interested in learning/experiencing about the city. I appreciated the questionnaire that they sent out beforehand to better understand what I was looking for, and they matched me with Simona, who was an incredible tour guide — very helpful, flexible, knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend trying out their tours, and I’ll check them out in other cities as well.

Incredible tour of the Duomo and sites of Milan. Our tour guide Tiziana was so knowledgeable, engaging and friendly! She is the best tour guide I’ve ever had and I wish I could take her on all our travels.

Simona was an incredible tour guide! She was so knowledgeable, helpful, flexible and kind. I really appreciated how she tailored the tour to what I really wanted to see. She showed me some parts of Milan that I had never heard of, and that were really incredible gems. I highly, highly recommend going on this tour. (I went on the 3-hour private tour.)

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.
