# Milan Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems with a Local

**Guidekin's take:** A private walk with a local host built from a short personalisation form you fill in after booking, with durations from two to six hours chosen at booking and a meeting at your accommodation if it is central. It is a hosted walk shaped around your interests; food, tickets and transport are extra. 4.83 from 275 reviews at €80 per person.

## Overview

Discover the true essence of Milan with a private, fully customized walking tour tailored to your interests. This isn’t just about sightseeing—it’s about immersing yourself in Milan like a local, guided by a passionate host who shares insider knowledge, hidden gems, and authentic stories beyond the usual tourist path.

Go beyond the grandeur of the Duomo and the elegance of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II to uncover Milan’s secret courtyards, tucked-away cafés, and artistic neighborhoods. Whether you’re captivated by Renaissance masterpieces, eager to explore the city’s food scene, your host will curate the perfect itinerary just for you.

After booking, you'll receive a short online Personalization Form to share your interests, preferences, and must-sees.
