  • 5My visit to La Scala was...

    My visit to La Scala was absolutely wonderful, and the guide made the experience truly exceptional. She was probably the best guide I have had on our trip so far! She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate, taking the time to explain everything and answer all my questions. I was honestly amazed by how interesting and memorable she made the tour. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

  • 5Our tour guide was...

    Our tour guide was wonderful, I do not remember her name but she was a lovely woman who was very knowledgeable in explaining the history and significance of the Teatro Scala. You can tell she really loves her job and she gets to share her passion with the guests on her tour. We had a great experience!

  • 5Our tour guide was...

    Our tour guide was exceptional. I have issues climbing steps and she made sure I was able to take a lift to the second floor. She was extremely knowledgeable, she talked to everyone so that no one felt left out and I learned things that I never would have visiting on my own. She got us into the opera House sitting to see it from a booth before practice .I can't say enough good things about her. I would highly recommend this tour with her being our guide.

  • 5Chiara, the wolf, rocks this tour

    The wolf, Chiara, was very organized and knowledgeable. She kept track of all the individuals in her charge. It was enjoyable having a local and passionate guide leading us to so many stops. I hope she is available when we return to Italy and heading up a tour we pick. The tour organizer is fortunate to have her!!

About Milan

Milan is Italy's stylish northern powerhouse of fashion and design, with a soaring Gothic cathedral, Leonardo's Last Supper and canal-side evenings.

The Duomo, a forest of white marble spires and statues that took centuries to complete, dominates the city centre, and its roof terraces put you among the pinnacles. Beside it, the glass-roofed Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II leads to La Scala opera house, and the Sforza Castle holds museums including Michelangelo's final sculpture, the Rondanini Pietà.

Top-ranked sights in Milan: Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano), Da Vinci's Last Supper (Il Cenacolo), La Scala (Teatro alla Scala).
