Ciao a tutti! I am Marilena and I have been a licensed guide in Milan and its Province since 2009. I speak fluentl English and of course, Italian! A strong passion for art and beauty conquered me since I was a teenager. After my University studies, I became a museum educator in the Brera Picture Gallery and, after obtaining my Tour Guide License, I continued to accompany nice school groups around the wonderful city of Milan, which I love to talk about! I truly love walking around the city and showing both adults and children its monuments and temples, telling their stories which have made this city great. When it comes to Milanese art collections, I love to focus on the smallest details in the paintings, which I hope to have the pleasure of describing to you. I love working with small groups, as well as with families with children, who allow me to engage in a very special dialogue to discover the city. I guarantee I'll be able to organize a special itinerary for you to get to know the city in the shadow of the Madonnina! I'll wait for you in Milan!

I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. Just to clarify, I only arrange hotel pick-up and drop-off through the driver. I will meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

On this tour, you'll have the opportunity to see Milan from the Duomo's terraces. From this beautiful cathedral, truly the symbol of the city, we'll be able to overlook everything from the Navigli area in the south, to the new skyscrapers of Milan in the CityLife and Porta Nuova districts. We'll actually get to drive across Porta Nuova, easily reachable by car, to see its new skyscrapers such as the Bosco Verticale and the Unicredit Tower. These buildings will be a stark contrast to landmarks we'll see that still remain from the Roman era. But besides driving, we'll enjoy walking in the Brera district, which will make it ideal to stop by some of its characteristic places, such as the Sforza Caste. I'll be sure to let you know about its history as we admire its stunning facade. We'll also explore Milan's old area which in recent years has become increasingly popular due to the numerous clubs that opened in it. The tour can be customized according to your needs & requests.
