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.

This bespoke private tour reveals the most elegant and visionary side of modern Milan, a city that—unlike any other in Italy—has embraced vertical growth as a symbol of renewal, ambition, and international outlook. Since 2010, Milan’s skyline has been transformed by iconic towers and carefully planned districts that reflect its role as Italy’s economic and design capital. The experience begins in the Porta Nuova area, where you will admire the celebrated Bosco Verticale by Stefano Boeri, an award-winning model of sustainable luxury living. We continue to Piazza Gae Aulenti, the contemporary heart of the city, framed by elegant towers designed by César Pelli. The tour concludes in CityLife, Europe’s most ambitious urban regeneration project, featuring the sculptural architecture of Daniel Libeskind, Arata Isozaki, and Zaha Hadid. A refined, privately paced experience ideal for luxury travelers passionate about architecture, design, and contemporary urban culture.

This is a walking tour, but to move from Porta Nuova District to City Life District, we are using the subway. But if you prefer, you can also use a taxi, anyway this will be an extra cost for you.
