Itinerary — What You Will See

Meeting Point - Your guide meets you at your hotel if centrally located, or at a convenient meeting point near the first stop of the tour. From here, your private Milan exploration begins.

Duomo Cathedral - Start in Piazza Duomo, the symbolic heart of Milan. Visit the interior of the Duomo di Milano, one of Europe’s greatest Gothic cathedrals, and learn about its centuries-long construction, artistic details, and legendary stories.

Duomo Rooftops (Optional) - Add an unforgettable highlight: the Duomo Terraces. Ride the elevator to the top for panoramic views over the city’s skyline. Great for kids and Instagram photos. (Not suitable for guests with mobility limitations; descent may require stairs.)

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II - Walk into the elegant 19th-century shopping arcade known as “Milan’s living room.” Admire the iron-and-glass architecture, luxury boutiques, and historic cafés that define refined Milanese style.

La Scala Opera House - Continue to the square facing Teatro alla Scala, one of the most prestigious opera houses in the world. Hear stories of Verdi, Puccini, Toscanini, Nureyev, and Pavarotti—and understand why La Scala is Milan’s cultural epicenter.

Fashion District (Quadrilatero della Moda) - Take a stroll through Milan’s world-famous Fashion District, home to the top Italian and international luxury brands. Your guide shares the history of Milanese fashion and why this area became a global capital of style.

The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci (Optional) - Enhance your tour with a timed entrance to see The Last Supper at the Cenacolo Vinciano, one of the most famous paintings in the world. Due to extremely limited availability, priority booking is recommended. Entry is subject to confirmation.

Sforza Castle (Castello Sforzesco) - End at the impressive Sforza Castle, once home to Milan’s ruling families. Discover its history as a fortress and Renaissance residence, and learn about Leonardo da Vinci’s contributions as military engineer. (Closed on Mondays; itinerary adjusted accordingly.)

Extend Your Tour (Optional) - Add one extra hour to explore more hidden corners of Milan or additional museums and churches, turning your walk into a 4-hour private experience.

Dear Andrea, We totally enjoyed the program in Milan. It was well timed with the meeting point and us getting off the train from Florence. The guide was excellent. Most knowledgeable and made the Last Supper like a story. Took us to a local place for fast order lunch, the castle and then we went by one of the oldest streetcars in Milan to the Duomo area. I would highly recommend to all!

We finished our honeymoon in Milan and decided to take a transfer to Maplensa airport with Kissfromitaly. They also suggested us a tour of the city and we tried it. We were amazed in discovering how beautiful and rich of art the city is! The guide also suggested a fantastic restaurant for our last romantic dinner in Italy. Marvellous!
