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 youβll 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.

An excellent tour with Michela! We visited the Duomo where she helped us buy tickets and then showed us lots of interesting things. We then went on to the famous shopping to soak up the atmosphere of this beautiful place. Michela took us to the castle pointing out some modern art along the way and we also had time to enjoy a coffee. We ended our tour at the last supper. (Tickets for this need to be purchased before had) Thank you Michela for a throughly enjoyable morning with you!

Bibi was amazing, fenomenal! Since it was just us two it was much more personal and enjoyable. We were able to ask all the questions we had and got to see places we wouldβve missed if we were on our own. I would definitely recommend this tour and specifically Bibi to anyone!

We loved our private tour around Milan with Michela. She helped us gain tickets to the Duomo and then gave us lots of interesting information about the Duomo. We walked around the central area which included the famous shopping centre before we then went on to the castle. We had time for a quick coffee along the way before arriving at the last supper. We bought tickets to see the last supper separately before hand. Absolutely worth the money with lots of memories made! Would definitely recommend.
