4.Delicious! Milan’s Favorite Food Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 268 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $95Top rated

Walk from Piazza della Scala through Brera and central Milan with a local English-speaking guide, tasting sweet and savory Italian specialties, wine, gelato, coffee, and more. Guides such as Armando add food and city history, while the tour ends near Largo la Foppa.

“Armando was a terrific guide. He gave us solid information in a fun way. He took us to good places. The food was terrific. My only negative was that we signed up for an 11:00 tour so it would be lunch and it was moved to 2:00. The same happened for another couple in our group. That made for awkward meal timing for us Americans! I would absolutely recommend the tour, but I hope they don’t make a habit of changing the tour times for people.”

The food choices were great since it was places I wanted to go to anyways. Francesco gave some insightful Italian history and it was very educational. Some places were closed but Francesco was more than willing to show us an alternative place to eat and still enjoyed the tour. Overall be prepared to walk but stay open minded some places may be closed and that’s not on the guide.”
