We dedicate this amazing experience to those curious travellers aiming to find something special (it might be an object from an old craft shop or a local food delicacy) choosing to shop for quality in historic Milanese workshops.
Our English speaking professional local guide will take you for a stroll around these magical places, to introduce you to their owners, their stories and the perfumes that you can still breathe in these old and authentic shops, which have made and continue to make the stories of our city.

I just wrote a review and it was not published. I'll try again! Viator tours are usually AWESOME. We've been to Spain and other parts of Italy and have wonderful guides. This tour was laughable. Infact, we 4 travelers all agreed it will be the highlight of our Milan tour because it was so funny/awful. Our guide was late. NO PROBLEM. We know that happens. But, we took off on foot and went to 4 places : a tobacco/pipe shop, a diamond shop, a wine shop and a leather shop. We don't smoke. We don't drink wine and we were not interested in diamonds but we went with a smile. They were merely STORES which we had passed in previous days! We did not buy anything which made us feel badly for the salespeople. YES, these shops were HISTORICAL, family run shops but as modern as the Milan environment would allow. Our guide knew these shops because he knew who to talk to. It was such a waste of our time and money. Maybe a different guide would have taken us someplace different but I doubt it. You too will probably just stay in the shopping area. Viator should take this off their offerings if it is what we experienced. We took another Viator tour while we were there in Milan and it was excellent. Just be careful of THIS tour!
