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 absolutely amazing! She gave us the perfect mix of history and local insight — making the walking tour both memorable and meaningful. It never felt like just sightseeing; every stop had a story and a connection to Milan today. Her passion for the city really comes through, and she has a great way of keeping everyone engaged without it ever feeling rushed or rehearsed. I highly recommend Silvia to anyone looking to spend a few hours with a local who truly knows Milan — the places worth seeing, and the stories worth hearing. Five stars, without question!

Daniela was a fabulous guide. She was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she very kind, personable and a lot of fun. She showed me so many interesting places and I learned so much about Milan that I never could have done on my own with the short amount of time I had in the city.

Our guide organized the tour with no insight from our group. She was very knowledgeable of Milan and took us to all the tourist spots and other hidden spots along the way.

Alex was incredibly knowledgeable about Milan and all of the places that he showed us. He was super nice and even changed our tour after he found out we had already looked at one of the places we were supposed to go. 10/10 recommend Alex and this tour!!

We had such a wonderful time on our tour with Connie. We walked around the city and got detailed information about so many of the buildings and the history of Milan. It was a perfect tour for us to get a glimpse of Milan in our short period of time! Thank you Connie for all that wonderful things you showed us.
