Here are some highlights and hidden gems to spark your curiosity:
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.

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.

Sara was our Milan City tour guide. She was excellent. Her art history knowledge made the tour even more special. We really had the best experience .
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!
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!
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!
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.
We're so glad you enjoyed exploring Milan with Michela and appreciated her local knowledge and historical insights. Thank you for your kind review! We hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
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.
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.
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!
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!
We had a lovely time w Lisa. Pleasant and well spoken. Took her time to show us all the important parts of Milan esp what we were interested in. Best to do a warm day and not a hot day. Highly recommend!
We are delighted that you had such a lovely time exploring Milan with Lisa.

We appreciate your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
