Milan Private Walking Tasting Tour with Secret Food Tours
Description
You’ll enjoy a vast variety of dishes and drinks deriving from the “Milanese” tradition. We’ll take you around the Navigli area and explain what’s so special about it. Through food it will be easy to show you how Milan is the most international Italian city: that makes it also the most interesting for people from other cities to move to, which means? It’s the only Italian city where you can try food from all over the country: Sicilian, Calabrese, Neapolitan, Pugliese! As a private tour, everything works around you! Our start times are much more easy going, dates can open up. It's a much more intimate and cozy experience. No need to shout over other tourists, you will have every question answered, and leave feeling like a native yourself!

Itinerary
Porta Genova is a railway station in Milan, Italy, located on the Passante Ferroviario di Milano suburban railway line. It was opened in 2004 and provides connections to other parts of Milan and the surrounding regions. The station is named after the nearby Porta Genova, one of the ancient gates of the city walls of Milan.
Darsena is a district in Milan, Italy, located in the Navigli area. It is known for its lively nightlife, trendy bars, and restaurants. The district takes its name from the Naviglio Grande canal, which used to serve as a commercial port and is now a popular spot for strolling and boating. The Darsena area has undergone significant redevelopment in recent years, becoming one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Milan.
The Naviglio is a canal system in Milan, Italy, comprised of the Naviglio Grande and Naviglio Pavese. The canals were originally built in the 12th century to connect Milan with other cities and to facilitate commerce. Today, the Naviglio is a popular tourist attraction, known for its picturesque waterways, historic bridges, and vibrant nightlife in the Darsena district. The Naviglio Grande is lined with cafes, restaurants, and bars, and is a popular place for boat rides and walks. The Naviglio Pavese, on the other hand, is a quieter and more rural canal that runs through the countryside.
A "Porta Ticinese" was already part of the medieval walls of Milan (12th century); the medieval gate is one of the few remnants of the medieval walls that are still in place, and it is located in the same area as the modern "Porta Ticinese", but closer to the city centre (as the medieval walls enclosed a smaller area than the Spanish walls). The current location of the gate (in a plaza that is now called "Piazzale XIV Maggio") was established during the Spanish rule, in the 16th century.
We walk and see the shopping street in one of the world's shopping capitals.
Discover the beauty of one of the coolest squares and building in the world: we won't enter the dome, but we'll have a look at it from the outside and leave our guests right in front of it.

Amazing tour! Davide was friendly and knowledgeable.
Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours on another occasion!
THIS was an excellent tour (and we’ve done many in 8 weeks of travelling). This was a standout. Davide was an exceptional guide who used his remarkable knowledge of the world to quickly make our group of ten feel comfortable and connected. Do not eat for quite some time before this tour as you will experience many courses, all very flavoursome and well explained regarding their cultural significance and origin. Risotto, arancini, honey baked soft cheese, some surprise dishes (no spoilers - but worth the wait) and finishing off with two desserts (including the tastiest organic gelato). I was too busy enjoying the food to take photos which is an indicator of what a great time we were having. Walk beside one of the canals in Milan (yes, canals in Milan) and discover hidden treasures to revisit. Davide provides recommendations for your stay in Milan and a place to share photos with your group. It was a fabulous way to finish our journey through Europe.
Thank you for writing about your experience. Your comments are greatly appreciated by everyone who helped make the tour possible. We’d be happy to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours!
Experience was sooo good from the food, culture, history and more. Davide made the whole journey very entertaining and fun. Would definitely do again!
Thank you for joining us! We're delighted your time with us added so much to your time in the city. We'd love to welcome you on another Secret Food Tours experience.
Delicious food and Davide, our guide, was lovely. Don’t eat anything before the tour, as the portions are very generous. Highly recommended!!
We appreciate you coming along with us. Hearing that you made the most of the tour is exactly what we hope to hear. We'd love to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours!
Our guide was Davide. He is truly knowledgeable about all the food we ate and local history. He was also super nice and funny. I learned a lot and ate delicious food. You get a lot to eat! I also love how each Secret food tour has a secret dish.
Thank you for coming along with us. It's always a pleasure hearing that the tour delivered exactly what you were hoping for. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours.
Fabulous interactive food experience with so many food options that you would not find on your own. Elena was an passionate host with lots of local tips, historical information and insights for Milan - highly recommended
We were delighted to read your comments. It's great when guests leave feeling they've seen a different side of the city. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
Our food tour of Milan was a wonderful mix of delicious treats and history. Davide led an amazing tour and was so engaging. We really loved it!
We appreciate you sharing your experience. Your review reflects exactly the kind of experience we hope every guest enjoys with us. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!
Elena was very passionate and a delightful host. The food was amazing. I wouldn't bother with purchasing the drinks package as the food tour already includes drinks at most of the venues. The additional cost of the drinks package paid for one drink only.
We're delighted to read your feedback. It's great to know that your experience was everything you hoped it would be. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!
We had a great time with Davide. He was a great communicator, easy to engage with and provided a lot of information and laughs. He helped us explore items would wouldn't have otherwise tried. Excellent tour and highly recommend Davide. He immediately followed up the tour with detail information on suggestions for the remainder of our trip spanning restaurants and bars.
Experiences are often remembered through the moments that stand out most. We're pleased that your time with us gave you plenty of those moments. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!
Davide was an amazing tour guide and this was an exceptional tour. We ate so much food and saw so many amazing things. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. And having done many of these I can’t help but repeat just how amazing Davide was.
We appreciate your feedback and support. It's always rewarding to hear that guests enjoyed their experience with us. Thank you again for choosing Secret Food Tours!
