I'm Paola R., your private tour guide in Milan

Guide #11941

Hello! I am Paola, a licensed and officially authorized tour guide in Milan, born and raised in the city. With a strong background in history and art, I design private cultural and culinary tours for travelers who value knowledge, authenticity, and thoughtful experiences. My tours reveal Milan’s layered identity: a modern, dynamic city with a refined and discreet historical core. I guide guests through historic streets and alleys, churches and basilicas, art galleries, canals, and lesser-known corners, combining solid historical context with local insight and carefully chosen anecdotes. Particular attention is given to the Renaissance period and to Leonardo da Vinci, who considered Milan a central place for his life and work. Alongside cultural itineraries, I also offer private food tours, where cuisine becomes a way to understand tradition, lifestyle, and daily life. My experiences are designed for culturally curious, well-traveled international guests seeking depth rather than spectacle. Please note that I can easily arrange transportation for every tour, if you need and it's not yet included. I am a licensed tour leader since 1995. I am a licensed tourist guide since 2010. I studied languages, arts and history. I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

    Paula was excellent! She was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Milan and communicated it very well. We had an infant with us which required shifting the schedule slightly, and Paulo went out of her way to help navigate that. I would highly recommend her as a guide. She made our Milan experience more memorable!

    AMAZING! I am a huge fan of that era and especially art deco. These two incredible residences and the informative walk in between were the absolute highlight of my time in Milan! Paola was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful. Highly recommend if an interest in architecture and art. I just kept saying "Amazing"! Tip - go early to the lovely Necchi mansion cafe...

    Paola was fantastic. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all we saw with her. Loves her city of Milan and excited to show us. Started with walk thru Galleria with lots interesting tidbits. 1st Prada, etc. Then to Duomo where she had gotten a timed entry ticket and skipped the line. Up elevator to 1 level for information and pictures. She was a great picture taker....
