Uncover the best of Navigli the local Way

"We had a great evening with Salvatore in Milan. The tour was a really nice mix of a historical walk through the city, interesting stories, and a few stops for drinks and local bites along the way. Salvatore is extremely knowledgeable about both Milan’s and Italy’s history, and he has a great way of explaining the background and putting everything into context without making it feel like a history lesson. It was relaxed, personal and genuinely interesting from start to finish. A very enjoyable way to experience Milan beyond the usual tourist sights. Highly recommended!"

"Sarah was very personable, spoke excellent English and was super knowledgeable about history of the area. We had an enjoyable afternoon with her as our guide. "

"Francesca’s guided tour along Milan’s canal district on January 30, 2026 was absolutely outstanding. She is deeply knowledgeable and brought Milan’s history to life with fresh, unexpected angles that tied beautifully into current affairs. The route was perfectly curated, taking us into charming art galleries, boutique shops, and wonderful cafés we never would have found on our own. What really set Francesca apart was her ability to share stories and insights you simply won’t find in guidebooks or online. She was warm, engaging, and genuinely fascinating to listen to throughout the walk. The pace was relaxed yet rich with content, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. This tour felt personal, authentic, and thoughtfully designed. If you want to truly understand Milan beyond the surface, Francesca is the guide you’re looking for."

"My husband and I really enjoyed our tour with Sara. Sara is a true local with so much historical and interesting knowledge about Milan. She helped us see things we wouldn't have seen without her. We would love to do another tour with Sara sometime. "

"Had a wonderful tour of the Navigli area with Isa. Everything about it was great - the pace was nice, we stopped at a variety of places showcasing different aspects of the area, with multiple 'hidden secrets' that we would not have found on our own. The tour was carefully curated and the historical stories were interesting and informative. I enjoyed how we touched on multiple topics and periods of history, from Roman times through the present and how things are related. It was all around a highlight of the trip and I would tour another part of town with Isa - highly recommend this tour!"

"We totally enjoyed our tour with Salvatore. We wanted to see parts of Milan that were not the tourist hotspots and Salvatore met our expectations. We started with the very old buildings and history, wandered through the canal district and ended with the next level of modern at the beautiful new area with the Tree Villa Park. Salvatore took time to answer all of our questions and helped us understand Milan. A useful bonus was taking the underground with him and learning how to navigate the trains. We high recommend Salvatore and Withlocals. "

"Salvatore guided us through some of the city’s lesser-known spots. We were three friends enjoying a private tour at our own pace, discovering charming historical and modern corners that most tourists on a one-time visit would likely miss. Highly recommended to book such a tour on your first day in the city, so you can later return to the places you marked as worth exploring, revisiting, or tasting. Warmly recommended! "

"We had a wonderful time in Milan exploring the Navigli area with Isa .She kept us well engaged with her passion and great knowledge . We also discovered lovely hidden corners that only locals know about . Would really recommend one of Isa 's tours. "

"Sehr aufmerksam, sattelfest in der Geschichte von Mailand und Italien, und überraschend mit Anekdoten und Tips. Herzliche Empfehlung unsererseits - auch von unseren Teenager-Töchtern, die es spannend fanden. "
