We had some miscommunication on the meeting point to start. A suggestion would be to always have the guide share a location pin via WhatsApp. Once we did that, the process was smooth.

Absolutely perfect - Lisa, our host, was clearly passionate about the city she calls home and you could tell how much she loves sharing it with her guests. She was perhaps the most qualified tour guide we’ve had, and had answers to all of our questions. She tailored the tour to our time schedule and gave us an amazing view of Milan’s city center and so much of what it has to offer in the short period of time we had available. Moreover she shared with us valuable insights from where and when to best visit certain popular venues to secrets about how to avoid the most touristy venues and alternatives that are less known for similar experiences. All in all, it was exactly what we needed and she was extremely flexible in providing exactly what we wanted to do. Thank you Lisa!!!

This was a great experience. It was nice to do a tour just one on one and not in a big group. Bibi was amazing. I would definitely recommend.

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.
