Milan Private Tours |
|
Milan (Milano) is Italy's urban style maven, its fashion and finance powerhouse. Lining the city's busy streets you'll find striking medieval architecture and arresting modern design. Take a private Milan tour and explore the main piazzas and charming backstreets of this bold city with a friendly local guide.
You'll want to hit Milan's highpoints: the incredible Duomo, built to accommodate the entire city in the 14th century; the University; La Scala theatre; Castello Sforzesco, and San Lorenzo columns. You may want to wander the neighbourhood of Navigli, with its canal-side cafés and old-fashioned gelaterie (ice-cream shops) and search for fashion finds in the funky design district of Isola. If you're here on a Sunday, take in a football game to see the Milanese at their most passionate. Out of the city, your guide can take you to see the beautiful shores of Lake Como, including the exquisite village of Bellagio.
Enjoy all this region has to offer on your private Milan tour. |

| Tour Guide Legal Requirements |
If the nature of the tour is that the guide is 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area', Italy requires the guide have a guiding license. A person giving tours such as the 'best nightlife spots', 'shopping and fashion tour' or 'restaurant tour' for example, does not require a license. This definition follows the European standard for tour guiding (CEN).
To become a Licensed Tourist Guide, candidates must pass an examination given by the local public tourist authorities to assess and test their knowledge of the area in terms of its history and geography, its art and architecture, its museums and art galleries, churches, its environs and cultural features. As part of the requirements, candidates must also prove their knowledge of each foreign language they applied for with oral and written tests. report error
All ToursByLocals guides have met our ToursByLocals Guide Requirements which includes warranting that they can legally give the tours they offer. |
