I'm an English teacher who has always had a passion for art and history. I have been living in Milan since I was a little kid, so I got to know my city well in all these years, thus giving you the local point of view. In the past few years, I decided I wanted to enjoy everything I had and that included this amazing city. Walking around Milan is like a treasure hunt: there is so much of everything and getting to put the puzzle of what I studied and learned in books together, makes me feel complete and as if I belong to this city.
Explore the magnificent Milan, breathing in its elegance and creativity. With this unique vibrant tour you will not only see all the famous sites, but also many hidden gems.

Milan's 2000-year history will take shape through fascinating legends, myths and art. You'll see the influence of the Roman, Spanish, Austrian, and French conquerors: from Napoleon's “Arch of Peace” to "The Devil wears Prada”.

Amazing tour. Chiara is so enthusiastic that you feel like you are taken back in the history of time. I enjoyed every minute of the tour. After the tour, she specifically wrote to all of us the interesting spots of places to see and foods to try, together with the photos and full addresses. She highlighted the free museums which are worth visiting, and when and how to go about getting discounted tickets to Opera House “Teatro all a Scala” at €10-15. I had a fulfilling stay in Milan from all the tips :)
The tour was really detailed and Chiara was well-prepared to show us all important places and stories of Milano even when we faced some difficulties due to ongoing celebrations. Chiara also provided us with exceptional tour guide what to see and eat in Milano if you are staying for few days in the city.
Ottimo tour, simpatico e professionale. Milano vista con gli occhi appassionati di una milanese! Lo consiglio vivamente.
Great tour with an enthusiastic guide who shares her knowledge and love for the city of milano throughout a time-travelling story.
