Ciao, I’m Caterina — a licensed tour guide based in Milan with nearly a decade of experience helping visitors explore one of Italy’s most dynamic and culturally rich cities. I’ve been leading tours since 2015, initially focused on food and shopping experiences as a tour leader. In recent years, I pursued official certification and am now a licensed European Tour Guide, validated by the Italian government. This allows me to offer in-depth, fully guided visits to sites such as the Duomo — and to share more detailed historical and cultural context. My goal is to offer more than just sightseeing — I aim to provide meaningful experiences that reflect the real character of Milan. Whether you're a first-time visitor or returning to discover more, my tours are designed to offer an authentic perspective, rooted in local knowledge and attention to detail. I love my job because I love to travel, and I always strive to make sure my guests return home with wonderful memories of my city and the experiences they’ve enjoyed.
