Itinerary

Pass by

See Milan through the eyes of someone who calls it home—uncovering its hidden gems, rich culture, and untold stories with a passionate local by your side. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a journey designed around you, full of authentic moments and unforgettable discoveries. Before your adventure begins, your host will reach out with a short online Personalization Form to craft an itinerary that reflects your interests—whether it’s exploring world-famous landmarks, savoring local flavors, or stumbling upon tucked-away treasures only locals know. Here are some highlights and hidden gems to spark your curiosity:

Pass by

Start at Milan’s iconic cathedral, the Duomo di Milano, an architectural masterpiece and the heart of the city. Your host will share captivating stories about its centuries-old history and hidden details. For a breathtaking city view, you may choose to climb to the rooftop and take in Milan’s stunning skyline.

Pass by

Admire the exterior of this UNESCO-listed church, famously linked to Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper. As tickets to see the painting are usually booked months in advance, entry is not included, and you will not view the artwork during this walking experience. Instead, your host will bring the church’s history and architecture to life from the outside.

Pass by

Wander through the charming canal district of Naviglio Grande, where history meets Milan’s vibrant social scene. Stroll along its picturesque waterfront, lined with colorful buildings, independent shops, and lively cafés. With your host, you might discover a hidden wine bar or an artisan workshop, immersing yourself in the neighborhood’s authentic local charm.

Pass by

Step into the grandeur of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Italy’s oldest and most elegant shopping arcade. Marvel at its ornate mosaics, soaring glass dome, and luxury boutiques. Don’t forget to spin on the bull mosaic for good luck—a cherished Milanese tradition passed down for generations.

Great art tour with Sara!

I had a wonderful experience with Sara. She researched my interests and made an itinerary that was efficient and allowed me to see several different parts of the city. She is very knowledgeable about contemporary artists and introduced me to a number of Italian artists with which I was not familiar. She also sent me the itinerary and shared her photos, which was very helpful. It was a great day! I would definitely want her for a guide again!

Operator response

We’re so glad you had such a wonderful and personalized day exploring the city! It’s fantastic that the experience introduced you to new Italian artists while bringing together so many of your interests. Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback — we’d be delighted to welcome you again!

Great way to explore the city!

We had a really lovely morning with Salvatore in Milan! We'd just arrived hours earlier and this was a good way to not only see some of the main sites in the city but also some maybe lesser known areas and tips that only a local would know. Additionally, Salvatore was so helpful in teaching us how to use the metro in Milan (we're used to the NY subway) and we ended up almost exclusively using the metro to get around during our entire stay in Milan. Super, super useful + helpful tour!

Operator response

We’re delighted to hear that you had such a lovely morning with Salvatore in Milan. It’s wonderful to know that he was able to help you discover both the main sights and some of the city’s lesser-known spots, and especially that his tips on using the Milan metro proved so useful throughout the rest of your stay!

Michela was a true local and knew her way around Milan. Both her historical and local facts about the city were great.

Operator response

day well spent with Dani

Have done several guided walking tours with locals in other cities, and this City Unscripted tour did not disappoint. We booked the 3 hour tour which was definitely enough time to lay the groundwork for Milano. Dani was our guide; she recognized that we had just arrived in Milano that morning and kept the pace somewhat leisurely so that we were not overwhelmed. She accommodated our request to skip Santa Maria delle Grazie and instead took us to the Santuario di San Bernardino alle Ossa. Dani was a wealth of information regarding the history of Milano, the Duomo, and Sforzesco Castle. She reminded us to bring our passports for our visits to see the Last Supper the following day, and thank goodness she did! She also gave us time to stop for a drink/gelato during the tour. Excellent recommendations for aperitivo and places to find reasonably priced fashion and artwork.

Operator response

We're delighted to hear that your experience with Dani lived up to your expectations and helped provide a wonderful introduction to the city. It's great to know that Dani adapted the pace of the tour after your arrival, tailored the itinerary to include the Santuario di San Bernardino alle Ossa, and shared so much insight into Milan's history and landmarks. We're also pleased that her recommendations—from reminding you to bring your passports for The Last Supper to suggesting great spots for aperitivo, fashion, and artwork—helped make the rest of your stay even more enjoyable.

A Perfect Way to Experience Milan

Tiziana was a absolutely wonderful guide. She immediately set a tone of great interest and genuine care. It was clear that her background in history and arts was well-established as was her enthusiasm for sharing it. She also listened intently and I feel that her attentiveness to my interests and questions led her to sharing even more. She was also able to help me orient to the city layout, which directly enhanced my comfort level of navigating around it later on my own. And she was on-the-spot flexible to help manage through the intensive heat while not sacrificing any part of the itinerary. I was a bit concerned about doing this trip solo - but Tiziana put me at great ease with her seasoned and personalized guidance and contributed to this being an amazing experience. When I return to Milan, I will definitely arrange to spend time with Tiziana!

Operator response

We're thrilled that you had such a wonderful experience with Tiziana. Her passion for history and art, along with her genuine care for each guest, truly makes every tour special. We're especially glad that her personalized approach, flexibility during the heat, and help with navigating Milan made you feel comfortable and confident exploring the city. It means so much to know she helped make your solo trip such a memorable experience. Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back to Milan for another unforgettable tour with Tiziana!

Great introduction to Milan

Truly wonderful experience walking through Milan and learning about its history, culture and landmarks. Suggest starting in early morning or late afternoon to avoid walking in the summer heat. Dani was so kind, warm and gracious with her time and knowledge.

We're glad you had a truly wonderful experience exploring Milan and that you enjoyed learning about its history, culture, and landmarks.
