Having visited Milan three very short times before, in winter for work or as part of a study tour I had struggled to see the attraction of the city. This tour with Andrea was an interesting and intriguing reintroduction. He was organised, knowledgeable and an engaging guide. Thank you I'll be back.

Description

The best way to explore Milan is with a Milanese friend who knows the city and its secrets. Someone who can show you around and tell you why an anonymous corner is actually a very important part of the city’s history. Someone who knows where to find amazing hidden places. Someone who doesn’t stick to the typical tourist track and fall into the tourist traps. If you’re looking for a friend like this, then I'm the friend for you!

Would you like to visit a church completely covered in skulls and bones? To know where not to go if you want to avoid meeting some of Milan’s most famous ghosts? Maybe to discover a monument that will…offend you? And do you want to visit the Duomo and Sforza Castle, but learn facts and curiosities that you won’t find in any guidebooks? Well, this walk is definitely for you!

I’ll steer you off the typical tourist path and show you everything that’s worth seeing in the beautiful city center. Join me for a great time!

Note: I'm not a licensed tourist guide. Booking this walk is like asking a friend to show you around his city. If this is not ok for you, please do not book. I do these walks according to Italian Law n°4 of 2013.

A new and more intriguing perspective on Milano
Having visited Milan three very short times before, in winter for work or as part of a study tour I had struggled to see the attraction of the city. This tour with Andrea was an interesting and intriguing reintroduction. He was organised, knowledgeable and an engaging guide. Thank you I'll be back.
Superb personal tour of the hidden side of Milan
Andrea gave us a wonderful personal tour of central Milan, pointing out something unique at each stop. He was in no hurry and gave us ample time to ask questions and take photos, etc. He was an excellent guide and we felt very special having him to show us around. We would highly recommend this tour, especially if you are new to Milan, or even if you have been before. This was our second time here but we are now much better informed, thanks to Andrea. He also paused for a coffee with us at the end of the tour, to show us other places to visit on our own later during our stay. We give this tour 5 stars!
Andrea took me on a private tour around some of the more unusual and unexpected sights of Milan. I won't spoil the surprises, but I found going off the beaten path much more enlightening than just checking out all the usual touristic places. What was just as impressive as his knowledge of Milanese history and culture was his flexibility to adapt the tour to my interests and also for altering the time of the tour at the very last minute when I was unable to make the original time. Thanks Andrea!
