Tour Description

Milan offers a unique blend of old-world charm in the midst of the modern era – all waiting to be discovered on this Milan Orientation tour. With your expert guide, you can discover the masterpieces and secret sites of this wonderful city.

Start your tour at the magnificent Duomo

Italy’s fashion capital has a talent for changing with the times. Milan is a world away from the white-washed South; it’s a cosmopolis where the pace of life is fast and affluence is richly rewarded. Right at the centre of this modern metropolis is the world-famous Duomo – an iconic Gothic catherdral that took six centuries to build.

After stepping inside the Duomo and exploring its treaures, we’ll visit Piazza della Scala, named after the renowned opera house Teatro alla Scala, and pass through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a shopper’s paradise.

Your Milan Orientation tour then transports you to Sforza Castle

Another stunning attraction in the heart of the city centre is the imposing structure of Sforza Castle. Once one of Europe’s largest citadels, this medieval fortress was once the home of Ludovico Sforza, who employed the likes of Florence‘s Leonardo da Vinci and Bramante to carry out its decorations.

Sforza Castle is home to a fascinating museum, hosting a wealth of treasures that recreate Milan’s undeservedly unknown history. Your private Milan Orientation tour will walk you through this museum, as your expert guide picks out the highlights to engage your curiosity and enrich your understanding.

Other attractions on your Milan orientation tour may include Merchant Square, Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie, and San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore. It’s your tour, so you can customize it as you wish!

As an optional extra, view Leonardo’s Last Supper

Visit the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie for an exclusive, private viewing of Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece: Il Cenacolo (the “Last Supper”). Along with your private guide, an English-speaking art historian, you can reap the rewards of the experience of being alone with this seminal artwork, drilling down into the depth of its meaning while nourishing your curiosity.
