The Adventure Begins
Meet your English-speaking assistant immediately on arrival, who escorts you through baggage claim with full porterage service and leads you directly to your waiting private vehicle.
Savor aperitivo at the very heart of Milan, where the Duomo’s soaring marble faÇade glows as day fades into evening. Choose your vantage point, from historic cafÉs to stylish rooftops, and savor the city’s most iconic views with a drink in hand. Begin with Milanese tradition at Camparino in Galleria, an institution synonymous with aperitivo culture and perfectly placed inside the Galleria. For elevated views, head to Terrazza Aperol, where spritzes come with front-row Duomo panoramas, or The Roof Milano, offering a more refined rooftop setting above the piazza. For a contemporary, design-forward pause, STRAFbar delivers creative cocktails just steps from the cathedral.

Treasures and Pleasures
Milan's food culture runs deeper than most visitors expect. With a private food expert as your guide, spend a half day moving through the city's historic cafes, old bakeries, wine cellars, and classic delicatessens, with curated tastings along the way. The route weaves through the Brera neighborhood and past the Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, with the city's iconic risotto alla milanese among the highlights. A private transfer takes you to the starting point and returns you to your base at the close of the tour.
After the museum closes and the crowds clear, the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie is yours entirely. This private, after-hours viewing of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, painted between 1494 and 1498, is led by an art historian who reveals the painting's symbols, its innovative technique, the story of its many restorations, and the mysteries that have fascinated researchers for centuries. Private transfers to and from the church are included.

Nurtured by Nature
Board a private boat with your skipper for a cruise along Lake Como, a retreat for nobles and aristocrats since Roman times, with spectacular natural scenery, resort towns, and historic villas lining the shore at every turn.
