Skip the line at Hard Rock Cafe Milan for a 2- or 3-course set menu near the Duomo, with priority seating.
“ok food, set menu. Waitress very helpful and friendly”
Shop Milan’s market with a private chef, cook a 5-course meal from scratch, then dine with Prosecco and wine in a home kitchen.
“I had an amazing morning with great company and fabulous food. Clara was patient and very encouraging. Would highly recommend this to anyone who loves food and wants an authentic experience with a local chef.”
Milan to Diavolezza and the Bernina Red Train. Cable car to nearly 3,000m and lunch at the lodge, ending in Tirano.
“everything was on time and perfect, route is amazing, our guide proffesional, thanks for all”
Private Barbaresco day in Piedmont: truffle hunting, wine-paired lunch, and a winery tour and tasting with pickup from Turin.
“This was wonderful. The truffle hunting was infoemative and fun. Lunch was outstanding just wish we had more time to relax and enjoy it. The winery was beautiful.”
A full day from Milan to Bergamo and Franciacorta: stroll Città Alta, enjoy a 3-course Lake Iseo lunch, then taste two DOCG wines.
“Great experience overall, Nicolo provide a really good tour, excellent local food restaurant, and franciacorta wine tasting was amazing, only issue, original tour was to monteisola, and everything was closed due to the season, so Nicolo took us to Iseo, and it was really good, operator shouldn’t offer tour to areas that are closed”
Private Milan full-day tour: skip-the-line Duomo, Brera lunch, Bramante’s illusion, and Galleria views in one efficient 7-hour walk.
“We had a lovely time wandering with Sofia through the historic heart of Milan. She was super easy to reach beforehand and totally tweaked the schedule to fit what we wanted to see. Milan is such a cool place, and having a local with you really helps you get it, especially all the old-world stories.”
Private Ferrari day trip from Milan: Ferrari and Enzo Ferrari Museums, Fiorano track visit, factory/track minibus tour, and farm lunch.
“The experience visiting the museums was worth the effort. Lunch at the restaurant was not to the standard of the tour and our diver/ guide. Very disappointed with the quality of service offered at the restaurant. Staff not all hostible. The driver/ guide was excellent.”
Full day from Milan to Franciacorta: 2 winery tours, multiple sparkling wine tastings, and a 3-course lunch on Lake Iseo.
“We decided to take this tour despite the lack of reviews and met our young guide, Nicolò, near the M5 metro station of Bignami. The comfortable Mercedes minivan was exclusively for us. Nicolò, a local, provided information during our hour-long drive to the Franciacorta area. Our first stop was Ronco Calino Winery, where our guide, Serena, shared fascinating details about the terroir, history, and philosophy of the winery. We toured the cellars, tasted two sparkling wines, and took photos in the vineyard. For lunch, we went to Trattoria del Muliner in Clusane on Lake Iseo’s shore, enjoying simple Italian cuisine with a three-course meal and a glass of Franciacorta. Highlights…”
Full-day Franciacorta tour from Milan with two winery tastings, a Lake Iseo lunch, and private minivan comfort.
“If you like sparkling wine, this tour is for you! This wine is made in the champagne method and is delicious. Our guide Nicolo was wonderful, as were the wineries we visited, and the restaurant he suggested for lunch was a great, hidden place we never would have found ourselves.”
