Itinerary
Start in late morning in the heart of the city, at the famous Duomo. The Gothic cathedral is thought by many to be one of the most beautiful churches in the world, and your guide will point out aspects of its impressive façade. Admire its flying butresses, and the gilded bronze statue of "Madonnina" atop the main spire.
Continue to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II for a walk through the glass vaults of the majestic 19th-century shopping arcade. Often referred to as, “Salotto di Milano” (Milan’s Drawing Room), the gallery is surrounded by boutique shops and cafés. Next, go to Piazza della Scala for a tour of the legendary La Scala Theatre opera house. Built in 1776, the theater has played host to some of the world’s greatest musicians, including Giuseppe Verdi, Bellini, Rossini, and Donizetti. See the beautiful horseshoe auditorium from one of the 4th row boxes.
Continue to the hidden Piazza dei Mercanti, and enjoy a short respite from the crowds as you thrill to Bramante’s illusion of space created during the Renaissance. Stroll through the medieval heart of Milan to Sforza Castle, the impressive fortress of the former Dukes of Milan, and now the home of many of Milan’s finest museums.

Our guide, Valeria, was superb. We concentrated on the Duomo, which really deserved all the time of the tour. The history of this magnificent cathedral is long and layered, so there was a lot of information. And we explored pretty much every nook and cranny - including ascending to the roof. There are many, many interesting facts and features - notably some historic figures are represented in the carvings that adorn the interior and exterior.
Laura our guide was brilliant. She is so knowledgeable and has a real knowledge of the history of Milan. We learnt so much about the buildings and the people from the past. La Scalia was jaw dropping place to visit
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's truly important for our team to take care of our costumers. Thank You so much and Arrivederci!
No, I am not a shopper. I could care less that Burbury, Fendi, Louis V, and every other luxury brand have stores here for the super-wealthy. However, as a public space, this is the place. It is beautiful and just steps away from two other Milan landmarks: Duomo and La Scala. (There are other lesser landmarks nearby such as Starbucks Reserve in an old Post Office nearby and worth a visit even if you hate coffee). The Milan walking tour didn't actually take us to the Galleria but pointed down the street to where it is. But go to the Galleria on your own and have a spritz and watch the crowd walk by.
Thanks for the review, Bob! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you. Come back and see us soon. Cheers!
