Itinerary
Castello Sforzesco
The Castello Sforzesco is one of Milan’s most iconic and historic sites, and represents, along with the Duomo, one of the most majestic and distinctive monuments of a place rich in culture and tradition. Located in the heart of the city, the castle has played a crucial role in Milan’s history and has seen several phases of construction, destruction, and renovation over the centuries.
Santa Maria delle Grazie
Gothic-Renaissance in style, Santa Maria delle Grazie is a key landmark in Milanese architecture, particularly associated with the name of Leonardo da Vinci. In the refectory of the church, where the friars gathered to eat their meals, is preserved one of the absolute masterpieces of art history: the Last Supper, by Leonardo Da Vinci. To see this amazing masterpiece you need to book week in advance!
Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio
A visit to the church dedicated to this revered saint is not to be missed: the Basilica of St. Ambrose, recognized as one of the most relevant in the world and an archetypal example of the Romanesque style.
Chiesa di San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore
The church of San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore is often considered the “Sistine Chapel of Milan” because of its architectural structure and the exceptional quality of the decorative cycle, influenced by the Leonardo school.
Duomo Di Milano
The Duomo is the timeless symbol of Milan: It’s hard not to be moved by such beauty Started in 1386 by Gian Galeazzo Visconti, it was built over five centuries, undergoing numerous modifications and modernizations over time. Get ready to discover a lot about this masterpiece!
Santuario di San Bernardino Alle Ossa
One of the strangest churches I have ever seen but, if you are not too impressionable, it is worth it! 5 minutes walk far from the Duomo it's something that a lot of tourist miss!
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
It represents the pedestrian passage connecting Piazza del Duomo with Piazza della Scala and is the oldest active shopping gallery in Italy.
Piazza della Scala
A beautiful square that is located in the historic center of Milan and is connected to the Piazza del Duomo via the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. Built to add a square to the famous La Scala theater, from which it takes its name, thus making it more functional and welcoming.

Walk in Milan
Very good visit at our own pace, we were able to do everything calmly by wandering around and often taking breaks, mainly due to the heat in Milan that day, so this visit suited us very well, to do: visit the Duomo and its rooftops to be booked separately, as well as the visit to Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper at the Santa Maria church to be booked 3 months in advance on their site, €15 for admission. We learned a lot of anecdotes about all the places thanks to this audio and written guide.

Nice job
This experience was good. We had an easy to follow map which took us place to place and a nice bit of information on each landmark we saw. The other good thing was that you could go at your own pace, no hard sell or hassle.

Milan tour
Difficult to find at first as I went to the castle but then had to contact trip advisor to see what to do next. You need to pay first and then you get sent a link. Overall though, the tour was closely connected and provided interesting facts about Milan. Am going to do another one in Verona.

Wrong information
I went to the information desk in the palace and they said, it is closed today! So I didn’t get to go to the tour
Operator response
Ciao! All the information to access the digital guide are shared through mail + whatsapp + voucher. There is no need to go at any information desk (I also don't know which information desk you talk about😅). Our customer support also is very reactive to help tourists online but we never got any message from you (only this review 🥲). Hope that this answer will help other travellers ! Ciao Matteo Walking Cap

Very interesting
Everything worked well but a word of warning- thexweather can be very wet in Milan in April. Our walk was mostly in rain which was a shame. We got lost a couple of times as roadworks made the route difficult to follow. But we saw all places of interest.

Lots of info, easy to use!
So much useful information! We learned so much more about the main sites of Milano than we would have on our own. The information is clear and concise and not overwhelming. The audio tour was easy to download and operate. I liked to be able to re-listen to the segments I found most interesting.

AMAZING visit to the Duomo and Terrace because the guide was sooooo good!
Our guide was so fantastic we would give her a 10 out of 5. We have travelled all over Italy and were so impressed not only by Chiara’s knowledge of the subject (The Duomo in Milano) but her enthusiasm in sharing her city, her culture and her love of Italy with the group. She also did an outstanding job interacting with everyone in the group taking care to remember where they were from and relating to them personally. Grazie mille Chiara!!

Tour of Milan to discover hidden places!
I bought the tour of Milan, Although I already knew a bit about the city I discovered some less touristy and very beautiful places that even in the guides are not well indicated but deserve! Very clear, complete and with a perfect selection of what to see in 5 hours walking around the city

Content is fine, audio can be improved
Audio is played by a program through written text and that makes it unnatural and lacks charisma. The content is not bad.
