Discover the most important sites of Italy’s fashion, design, and financial powerhouse – Milan, in a privately-guided walking tour with a local Milanese art historian whose insider knowledge of art, fashion, and culture will have you experiencing the city in a completely new light.

You’ll first begin by touring the city’s iconic centerpiece and emblem – the Duomo Cathedral. A masterpiece of gothic art with its white marble spires, the catholic church is the third-largest in the world and took nearly six centuries to complete. Take a glance at the five bronze doors that depict scenes of Milan’s history before climbing up to the rooftop to walk among the spires, and take in some of the best views of the city.

Next, you’ll head north off Piazza del Duomo through to the glittering Galleria Vittorio Emanuele arcade, the world’s oldest shopping mall. A 19th-century architectural masterpiece, it houses the flagship stores of Italy’s great fashion houses – Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, Prada, Valentino – all Milan natives.

You’ll then leave the Galleria to continue through to La Scala, long the leading opera and ballet theater in the world where the greatest composers such as Verdi, Puccini, Toscanini, and ballet dancers like Nureyev, and opera stars like Pavarotti have graced its stage. Just as resplendent as it was in the 18th century when Empress Maria Theresa of Austria had overseen its construction, you’ll learn all about its history as you step inside to marvel at its opulent interiors – with red velvets, silk brocade walls, and gilded stuccos illuminated by a huge glittering chandelier composed of nearly 400 lamps.

As you stroll through its charming cobblestone streets lined with vintage boutiques, niche perfumeries, and sleek art galleries, you’ll get a feel for its bohemian past. You’ll then make your way towards the Pinacoteca di Brera – one of the city’s hidden gems. Once a convent, the museum houses a magnificent collection of paintings from the 1300s to the 1900s, with pieces you’ll probably recognize from your art history textbook—Raphael’s Marriage of the Virgin, Caravaggio’s Supper at Emmaus—as well as more modern works by artists like Modigliani. After browsing the galleries followed by a quick stroll through the on-site botanical gardens, you’ll make your way to indulge in your long-awaited aperitivo.

With your typical Brera aperitivo devoured, your private driver will then whisk you over to Milan’s bustling Navigli district.

Today, you’ll find cafes tucked away from the crowds, dusty bookshops, arty boutiques, and many of the city’s creative hubs. Your private guide will fill you in on Navigli’s long-standing culture of the aperitivo, as you sit back and enjoy an aperitivo al fresco from one of the canal-side bars, sampling local Italian snacks. Finish off the tour while watching the colors of the sunset bleed into the waters of the canal, cocktail in hand, before heading over to your dinner reservation at one of Milan’s greatest culinary spots.
