Experience tomorrow the best of
Milan with Withlocals

"We had a lovely evening with Francesca with tastings while touring Milan. Our flight was very delayed and we couldn't make our original booking time. Francesca kindly rearranged her schedule so that we could still experience the tour during our 2 days in Milan. Had a great time!! "

"Francesca was a tremendous guide. We started our tour at the Duomo where Francesca breathed life into the intricacies of this historic and blessed structure. Afterwards we had an espresso at a newly restored Campari bar with beautiful mosaics. We proceeded to the Galleria with even more ancient works of art on the edifice and the floors. From there we walked past La Scala and into the fabulous Brera neighborhood. I can’t imagine that I would be able to describe how beautiful it was without writing a large travel book. Scuola and Libraries, beautiful Botanic Gardens and incredible wine bars and shops to name a few. We ended our tour at the Castle and before she left, she recommended the most incredible restaurant that only locals would patronize. Thank you Francesca. "

"Our flight was delayed and so we had to 1 day to see Milano - this tour was a fantastic way to start seeing some of the things that make the city special. Salvatore had a relaxed and humorous style, and he introduced us to a variety of sites, sharing about the history, architecture, city planning, and sociocultural influences of each. Will definitely check out other WithLocals tours in the future. "

"This was an excellent way to start our week in Milano. Salvatore was a superb tour guide covering history and current culture, took us to interesting areas we may not have pursued on our own, all the while providing engaging converation and answering so many questions."

"Our tour with Francesca was great. She is very knowledgable about the history of Italy and Milan in particular. We enjoyed touring the historical sites but also walking through the streets, being educated about the architecture and culture. We had some interesting and fun conversations along the way. Highly recommend a tour with Francesca."

"We had the pleasure of having Francesca as our private guide during our visit to Milan, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the start, she was warm, respectful, and incredibly knowledgeable about her city. We specifically requested a focus on the more modern parts of Milan, such as Porta Nuova, and Francesca delivered beautifully. Her deep understanding of both contemporary developments and the city’s history gave us a well-rounded and engaging tour. She answered every question my friend and I had with clarity and insight, and her passion for Milan truly shone through. What stood out even more was her relaxed and generous attitude—she never rushed us or watched the clock, even when we went beyond our scheduled time. It was clear she cared more about giving us a meaningful experience than just completing a job. Born and raised in Milan, Francesca is the perfect guide to help you explore and appreciate this fascinating city. We’re so glad we found her!"

"He was super easy going, relax , open and fun !! We really enjoyed our tour ! Thank you for all the recommendations! 🫶🇮🇹"

"We loved this tour. It started with the standard highlights, with some emphasis on hidden gems then moved to modern Milan. We unexpectedly loved this part. It was so interesting. We had no idea that Milan had transformed a bad area into a successful live, work, retail area with model buildings and ecosystems that we had studied at work and school. It was amazing. Right across the street was a district that was hundreds of years old. An amazing experience. Also got valuable tips for public transportation and gelato. Salvatore is passionate about his subject. Highly recommend!"

"Thank you very much for the wonderful tour and the inside knowledge ;)"

"From our first meeting with Caterina, it was clear we were in capable hands. Warm, engaging, and full of enthusiasm, she didn’t just show us around Milan—she helped us understand it in a deeper, more personal way. Caterina’s love for her city shines through in everything she shares. Her knowledge of Milan’s history and culture is extensive, but it’s her ability to weave it into a compelling, human narrative that really sets her apart. Rather than a list of facts, you get a genuine sense of what makes the city tick. What makes her especially effective is her instinct for connection. Caterina has a natural ability to read what her guests will enjoy and adapt the experience accordingly. It felt more like spending time with an incredibly insightful friend than being on a typical guided tour. She captures the essence of La Dolce Vita—not as a performance, but in the way she moves through her city: • Passionate yet grounded • Well-informed without being overwhelming • Warm, gracious, and entirely present This wasn’t just a tour; it was a reminder of why we travel in the first place—to connect, to learn, and to be inspired. If you're looking for a guide who can bring Milan to life in a personal and meaningful way, Caterina is an outstanding choice. You'll leave with more than just knowledge—you'll leave with a lasting sense of connection to the city. Michael & Angela "
