"Despite the rain ( be prepared!) we had an excellent tour with food and history combined . Francesca was very knowledgeable and added lots of historical information ; she also has a dry sense of humour which we appreciated. Particularly liked the balsamic vinegar tasting."

About Milan Food Tours
Milan’s food culture is aperitivo first. A Milan food tour builds around the city’s signature ritual — a Negroni or spritz with a spread of cicchetti-style bites — plus the local classics: saffron risotto alla milanese, cotoletta, and panzerotti from a historic friggitoria.
It’s a more polished, design-city take on the Italian food walk. Guides thread the Navigli canals or Brera at golden hour, when Milan’s bars put out their aperitivo boards and the city is at its most sociable.

"Fantastic tour, so educational and interesting, our guide Luca was amazing, really knowledgeable and generous with his information sharing Italian history and facts, the stops were all great with the best of authentic Italian food and shops. Highly recommend this tour as we were taken off the beaten track to places we would never have discovered/ or never known what we had discovered.. we also had plenty to eat along the way so no need for lunch afterwards"
