"We totally enjoyed our tour with Salvatore. We wanted to see parts of Milan that were not the tourist hotspots and Salvatore met our expectations. We started with the very old buildings and history, wandered through the canal district and ended with the next level of modern at the beautiful new area with the Tree Villa Park.
Salvatore took time to answer all of our questions and helped us understand Milan. A useful bonus was taking the underground with him and learning how to navigate the trains.
We high recommend Salvatore and Withlocals.

Insightful tour to off road Milan
"Salvatore guided us through some of the city’s lesser-known spots. We were three friends enjoying a private tour at our own pace, discovering charming historical and modern corners that most tourists on a one-time visit would likely miss. Highly recommended to book such a tour on your first day in the city, so you can later return to the places you marked as worth exploring, revisiting, or tasting. Warmly recommended!

"We are a family of four and we visited Milan in June 2025. Our boys are 11 years old and we wanted to organise a tour around Milan and the Navigli area that would be interesting to them and fun. Francesco rose to the challenge. On an extremely hot day, he managed to take us around the city and give us a very interesting aspect of the sights adjusting the content to his audience. He is a very knowledgeable guide that extends beyond the history to the details and stories behind the scenes that make all the difference. Our tour ended at an amazing trattoria that he had booked for us to have lunch which we would never have found out on our own. Thank you! "

Ancient History of San Lorenzo
Step back in time at the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore. One of Milan's oldest and most important churches, its origins trace back to the Roman era, offering a stunning example of Early Christian architecture.
Culture at the Columns of San Lorenzo
The iconic Colonne di San Lorenzo are 16 majestic Roman columns dating to the 2nd century. Today, they are a cultural hub and a beloved meeting spot for locals, framing the beautiful Basilica behind them.
Local Aperitivo Habits in San Lorenzo
As evening falls, the San Lorenzo area transforms. It's the heart of Milan's aperitivo scene. Join the locals for a spritz and delicious snacks, soaking up the vibrant atmosphere. A must-do Milanese ritual!
San Lorenzo's Green Escape
Just behind the Basilica lies the Parco delle Basiliche. This peaceful park connects San Lorenzo to the Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio and is the perfect place for a relaxing stroll away from the city bustle.
San Lorenzo's Architectural Influence
The design of the Basilica di San Lorenzo, with its central plan and grand dome, is thought to have influenced many other religious buildings, including the work of the famous Renaissance architect Bramante.

Milan Highlights
"My wife and I only had one day to see many of the important sites in Milan. Our goal was to see the Duomo interior and rooftops, Sforza Castle, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and La Scala. Francesca and I messaged multiple times as we created a plan. She was always prompt and polite.
The tour itself was wonderful. Fast and efficient. Francesca knows her way around the city and the made sure we hit the highlights are every stop. At La Scala, we were fortunate to see the beginning of an Opera rehearsal. Francesca is an experienced and excellent guide. I would definitely use her again. "
"We had a wonderful time in Milan exploring the Navigli area with Isa .She kept us well engaged with her passion and great knowledge . We also discovered lovely hidden corners that only locals know about .
Would really recommend one of Isa 's tours. "
"As it was my first time visiting Milan, I thought a local guide would be good fun. I was on my own, so booked a private tour.
I met Paola as agreed and we spent two and a half hours walking around the city.
Paola was a great company, and her knowledge was extensive. She gave me a great introduction to the city with plenty of stories/history.
Highly recommended "
"We had a wonderful experience in Milan with Francesca as our guide! She is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and full of energy. Francesca took us to see so many different places within the city that we would never have discovered for ourselves. She answered all of our questions and went out of her way to help us with our self-guided plans. Thank you for an amazing tour, Francesca!"

Great tour of Milan!
"We enjoyed our time with Francesca exploring and learning about Milan and its history. Francesca showed us hidden spots that you would walk right by without a guide. She was very informative, and gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip. Would definitely recommend a tour with Francesca to people coming to Milan! "
"My wife and I had a lovely tour with Francesca! Having toured parts of Milan on a previous visit, we decided to take her "Off the Beaten Path" tour and explore the Navigli district. She was flexible to meet us at a convenient location and provided such an insightful and informative tour. We met some wonderful local artisans that with which Francesca has a warm relationship, which made for a special and insightful tour. "
