From the guide

Experience Milan the way locals do on a journey across the vibrant Navigli district. From aperitivo to dessert, this experience captures the essence of Milanese social life, where great food and connection go hand in hand.

Wander along historic canals and lively streets as you explore a neighborhood shaped by tradition, creativity, and a dynamic culinary scene. Along the way, enjoy a curated progression of tastings that reflect both regional heritage and modern Milanese culture.

Savor iconic specialties like focaccia di Recco and farinata, and risotto alla Milanese, prepared with the care and precision this classic deserves.

End on a sweet note with authentic artisanal gelato, crafted with natural ingredients and a silky, velvety texture that embodies the essence of Italian tradition. This is more than a food tour: it’s Milan, lived and tasted.
