Experience Milan with a local host who knows the city beyond the typical tourist route. From historic landmarks and elegant piazzas to modern districts and creative neighborhoods, this private experience reveals the character and culture of Milan at your own pace. Before the experience begins, you will receive a short online questionnaire so we can understand your interests and travel style. Your host will use your responses to design a personalized route through Milan that blends well-known highlights with local neighborhoods and hidden corners. Here are some highlights your host may include during your experience.
Begin in Piazza Mercanti, a beautifully preserved medieval square in Milan’s historic center. Surrounded by arcaded buildings and centuries-old architecture, this quiet space offers a glimpse into the city’s past when merchants once gathered here to trade.
Walk through Milan’s renowned fashion district, home to elegant streets such as Via Monte Napoleone and Via della Spiga. Luxury boutiques, historic buildings, and refined cafés reflect the city’s global reputation for fashion and design.
Discover Milan’s modern side in Piazza Gae Aulenti, a contemporary square surrounded by striking skyscrapers and innovative architecture. This district highlights the city’s transformation into a global hub for design, finance, and urban development.
Continue along Corso Como, a lively pedestrian street known for its mix of boutiques, cafés, and creative spaces. The area reflects Milan’s modern lifestyle and blends fashion, design, and nightlife in one energetic neighborhood.
Finish along the Naviglio Grande canal, where colorful buildings, small galleries, and local cafés line the water. Once essential for trade and transport, the canal now forms one of Milan’s most vibrant and characterful districts.
We did a walking tour of Milan with Sara and it was the perfect way to start our trip. She gave us so much great information about everything - the history of Milan, the local fashion hot-spots, and the secrets of the Sfzora Castle. She was very accommodating and we even stopped for food at a Calzone place from the 1800s!
Absolutely excellent. Very knowledgeable good historian easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend her to my friend and family.
It was an excellent , professional tour. So many interesting sights and our guide was outstanding!!! Her knowledge and art background were amazing!!
Our guide Simona was energetic, friendly and so informative about the history of Milan. She gave us suggestions where to eat, shop and go after the tour and before the tour even started asked us what we wanted to include on the tour. Highly recommend Simona!
Ask for Connie! She made Milan come alive for us. Our 4 hour tour flew by with Connie’s lead. She’s part teacher, part historian and part storyteller.
Having a personal guide made it so much easier to visit the sites we wanted to see in Milan. Sylvia was very knowledgeable and personable. A delight to spend our 3+ hours with her.
Our guide Tiziana was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Our 1/2 day tour of Milan was outstanding.
Very knowledgeable but hard to hear her talking while walking on the sidewalk. We did learn a lot ..
Lisa was a knowledgeable and friendly guide who tailored our tour to meet our interests. She showed us some hidden gems that we would never have found on our own.
The guide didn't seem like he knew what he was doing. He had no plan and really didn't seem like her knew much about Milan. We left the tour early - it was a waste of time.
We’ve had many wonderful tour guides thru Viator. The local Milan tour guide named Lisa was the worst ever!!! She spoke so quietly and robotically we tuned her out. Could not hear or understand 90% of what she said. She was so boring. There was definitely something “off” about her. Do not book a tour with Lisa. A HUGE waste of our time and money.
We had a wonderful afternoon with our guide. It truly was a local taking us around Milan sharing history and favorite local spots! Highly recommended!
Reza: The worst guide I’ve ever experienced. More silent walks than stories. We’re coming by interesting places, and if we don’t ask about it, it won’t be mentioned. Answer in 2-3 sentences. He even did not know that square holes in the walls were used for scaffolding. Not worth 1/4 of the money we paid.
We had a great tour guide. Highly recommend unscripted tours. We had only one day in Milan and our guide Massimo emailed us two weeks before to get information on things we would like to see. Told us how to prepurchase the Last Supper tickets. He made sure everything was seamless and the walking was at our pace. Informative and great company for the day!
Roberta was fantastic! Knowledgeable, hospitable and an all around joy to learn about the city of Milan with! Definitely recommend this tour to all!
The experience was amazing , the guide was very informative. We all love it and we will use Viator again.
I really enjoyed how knowledgeable our guide was and also how friendly and welcoming he was. He made my wife and I feel right at home. It was like I had met up with a friend to give me a tour of the city he loved.
We had the most fantastic time visiting Milan with Reza, I highly recommend this tour and specially this guide so passionate about the city and history in general. if we come back to milan I will definatly book this tour again to visit more of this beautiful city
Reza was such a knowledgeable and interesting guide. It was one of the highlights of my 20days in Europe. Book a tour with him, you will not regret it!
Reve was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about Milan and its history. He had a great sense of humour and his English was exceptional
Reza (tour guide) was very knowledgeable, flexible, and patient with us. We really enjoyed learning about Milan!
Very knowledgeable person. We would not have seen the real Milan without him. Plus spoke local language so we felt like we had our son with us and he helped us to get Opera Tickets. I strongly recommend to any one who wish to get get best of your vacation time from sightseeing, engage a local guide. Good luck with your final exam. Atul
This tour really helped me understand the city layout and become familiar with important locations. I went on a day and during a time of year when many things were closed, but I imagine the tour would be even more interesting during a better time of year and day of the week. It would have been nice to know what was open and closed further in advance, so my plans could be rearranged, but otherwise this as a nice tour.
Thanks to Marco I visited many places I've not seen in previous tours of Milan. He took me to very interesting and beautiful places outside of the major tour sites. He does know Milan well and the history to go with different sites. Very personable and kind. Had a lovery time with Marco and will recommend him very highly.
With our guide Marco Michele we have an amazing private tour of Milan . He guide us through major sites but adding some nice and unexpected sites out of regular touristic path. Very kind and helpful , Marco knows Milan very well and we have a great time with him Highly recommended guide
We booked 4-hours tour with local and got a Pakistani student Usama who is living for 3 years in Milan. Usama is a nice person but it is clearly not enough to be a good guide for 4-hours tour - it requires more preparation and knowledge about history, culture and architecture of the city. These skills were almost absent.
It was wonderful to be guided by a very knowledgeable local. Went to several interesting places and my interests were met.
We spent the better part of the day with Manuel who showed us known and lesser known sights on an Milan walking tour. He was very knowledgeable with respect to art and architectural history and pretended nicely to enjoy my jokes and questionable questions. Highly recommend.!
A totally flexible way of seeing what you want to see and spending as much time as you want where you want. Highly recommend if you want a tailored experience with a local person.
<p>Emily was a wonderful guide. We got to be taken around with no worries of getting lost or having any translation issues. She even helped us navigate the post office to get postcard stamps. <br/> She planned a number of cultural stops just as we had asked and even took us to some places we would have passed by if not for her knowledge. She was warm and friendly.<br/> After our tour, she even followed up with an email of more suggestions and helpful links for other things to do and see. <br/> Fabulous!</p>
La catedral es hermoso y la historia del castillo is ok, solo fueron 2 lugares que fuimos. Xxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cxxxxxxxx
Bad organization!!! The first reported guide cancelled the Service 24 hours earlier. The second one that I received the contact and that I personally contacted to make arrangements had not confirmed the Service to cityunscripted, the third guide equal and only the fourth, after I always contacted the Prescriber to advise that these guides had not accepted the Service that they instead confirmed to me, confirmed availability.
