Itinerary
Day 1
Three-hour walking tasting tour through central Milan. Meeting and short introduction, followed by multiple street-food tastings and a relaxed final stop near the canals on Corso di Porta Ticinese.
Meet your guide at Piazza Cordusio
Gather and brief introduction to the tour, pickup confirmation, and overview of the route and dietary checks. Short orientation and safety briefing.
Tips from local experts:
- Make sure your phone is reachable the day before — the guide will send final pick-up instructions by phone or email.
- Piazza Cordusio is mostly flat but can be busy; arrive a few minutes early to locate the guide under the clock/central landmark.
- Carry a small backpack or crossbody bag to keep belongings secure in crowded central areas.
First street-food tasting at Piazza San Sepolcro
Enjoy the first taste from a local family-run vendor and learn about the dish's regional origin and how it arrived in Milan.
Tips from local experts:
- If you have dietary restrictions, remind the guide at the start so they can confirm suitable options with the vendor.
- Bring cash in small notes as some historic stall vendors prefer it, though many accept cards—ask the guide if unsure.
- This square can be windy; keep jackets handy if the weather is cool to stay comfortable during the tasting.
Stroll through Milan's historic centre with tastings
Guided walk across the historic centre with short stops for snacks and explanations about Milanese culinary culture and city history.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable walking shoes; portions are small but the route uses cobbled streets in places.
- If you want a photo together, the guide will point out quieter spots in the historic centre for a quick couple's picture.
- Public restrooms are limited; use facilities when your guide points them out between stops.
Final tasting and 'special moment' near Corso di Porta Ticinese
Finish the tour along Corso di Porta Ticinese (near the Navigli canals) with a final tasting and a complimentary choice of one beer, glass of wine, or soft drink — a relaxed pause to enjoy the canal-side atmosphere together.
Tips from local experts:
- Corso di Porta Ticinese sits by the Navigli canals; bring a light layer for canal-side breeze especially in evening hours.
- If you'd like a quieter spot for your 'special moment', tell the guide and they'll aim for a less crowded stretch along the canal.
- Public transport (tram or metro) is the easiest way back to central hotels from this area; ask the guide for practical directions at the end.
