Things to do in Milan

the tour guide is very helpful and shared a lot of history information to us.

It was great that I could leave my luggage at the meeting point, and the guide was friendly and explained everything cheerfully, making the tour very enjoyable.

I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Milan independently and looking for a local tour to Lake Como! It was my first time joining a tour with a foreign guide and being the only non-foreigner among a group of international travelers, so I was a bit worried about how it would go. However, the meeting point was exactly as marked on the map, and both the bus driver and the guide were very kind. Especially our guide, Chiara, she constantly looked out for me, who was traveling alone, and meticulously checked if I was comfortable, so I never felt out of place. I also didn't research any lunch spots beforehand, but the guide immediately booked a recommended restaurant for me on the spot, so I had a great lunch. (It was also funny and helpful when I was debating menu options, and she honestly told me which ones weren't great and which were better, haha!) Exploring Como and Bellagio can be surprisingly tiring, but traveling comfortably by bus meant I could even catch some sleep on the way back. The return journey was also incredibly beautiful, passing by the Alps and offering views of Swiss lakes. Thank you so much, Guide Chiara! As a side note, when crossing the lake, you'll be on a huge cruise ship. I recommend doing a headcount with the guide on deck first, and then standing by the edge of the boat to get the best view. A lot of people get on, and if you sit in a chair, everyone blocks your view, so you won't see anything. Also, it gets cold, so a jacket is essential!

God is good! I learned so much about the Last Supper, the mayor and the Duomo (which means Cathedral). Our guide Chiara was informative and funny. She has a gift for remembering where everyone is from and made sure we were all accounted for. We were on our feet for 3 hrs, but we didn’t walk too fast or far. Great tour! Photos of where we met (to the left of the front door of the church), a friendly man checking us in and giving us a listening device, Chiara showing us how Leonardo put his self portrait in the photo, a pretty tree-lined street and walking down the street with our group.

Simone is the best!! He is extremely patient and incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend this itinerary to everyone!

Serravalle Designer Outlet is an easy and worthwhile shopping trip from Milano Centrale Railway Station. The shuttle journey is smooth and seamless, taking about 3 hours round-trip. Tip: choose front or mid seats at pickup from Centrale FS for a more comfortable ride. The outlet itself offers an excellent retail mix with a wide range of international and luxury brands. The shopping experience stands out for its attractive discounts, with many stores offering substantial savings throughout the year. Store layouts are spacious and well-maintained, allowing for a relaxed browsing experience even during peak hours. Overall, Serravalle Designer Outlet combines accessibility, comfort, and strong retail value, making it a worthwhile addition to any Milan itinerary.

I had a great time on this trip and would definitely recommend it! The day started near Milano Centrale, where we met our group. A lovely surprise was when our driver, Alfonso, gave a rose to all the women on the tour♡ a wonderful way to start the day. Our first stop was Como, which was beautiful, followed by Bellagio, my favorite destination. I only wish we had more time there. Our guide, Sonia, was fantastic and gave great recommendations at every stop, from places to see to cafés, pastry shops, and local treats. The boat ride on Lake Como was another highlight, with stunning views of the lake and famous villas while Sonia shared interesting information along the way. We ended the day in Lugano, Switzerland, which felt like a hidden gem. The scenery was beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it felt less crowded than other destinations. Overall, it was a well-organized tour with amazing views, great guidance, and memorable experiences.

Always enjoyed visiting Milan Cathedral. Always amazed how beautiful it is and wondered how it was built. The museum even added more highlights with our tour. Highly recommended to book/visit while in Milan. Get the early access to avoid to much crowds.

I highly recommend going to the top of the church 😍 it's truly beautiful ❣️ After reading reviews, I chose to take the elevator, and after experiencing it, I completely agree that it's the best option ❣️ But be aware ‼️ there are still some stairs to climb in the middle, and they are steep and narrow ‼️ To exit, you'll need to use the stairs, and they are very narrow ‼️ Those with foot injuries and the elderly should consider this carefully ‼️ Photo 4: Shows two elderly people slowly descending the stairs (I didn't get a picture of the stairs themselves at the time, they were very steep and a bit dangerous). They sat down to rest after this short section of stairs 🥺
