Hello! My name is Michaela. I've been working in tourism since 1997. As a travel agent, flight attendant, and tour leader, I traveled a lot. I met people from different countries, visited different regions, and learned different ways of life. I am a licensed tour guide in Milan, Varese, and Lake Maggiore. Milan has a rich artistic heritage that goes well behind its most famous landmarks. I promote and enhance the discovery of Milan through guided tours for adults and children. I work as a freelancer with Italian and foreign travel agencies and tour operators, guiding Italian, French, and English-speaking groups. I am native Milanese, and I have an excellent knowledge of my land with its several charming and artistic sites: Milan, Varese, the Lake Maggiore and their Villas, the Valley, the mountains but also typical gastronomy, ancient traditions, and folklore. I can help you to plan your itineraries to satisfy your interests and demands at best. I am looking forward to guiding you through the history and the treasures of the city!

Michaela was lovely. She is filled with knowledge and was very attentive to our pace and our questions. I felt like we were talking to a friend. Also, she was able to adjust the tour time to accommodate our schedule (before we booked) and also gave us flexibility on order of the tour.
