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.

A unique visit to masterpieces of arts
Overview of your Milan tour
Enjoy a private, refined visit to the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, one of Milan’s most intellectually inspiring museums. Founded in the 17th century, the Ambrosiana is a place where art and knowledge merge in a unique atmosphere of contemplation. At the heart of the tour is the legendary Codex Atlanticus by Leonardo da Vinci. Only a selection of original pages is displayed in protective showcases, offering a rare glimpse into Leonardo’s visionary mind through studies in science, engineering, anatomy, and ambitious ideas for the urban renewal of Milan, inspired by Vitruvius. You will also admire exceptional masterpieces, including the preparatory cartoon for the School of Athens by Raphael, Caravaggio’s famous Basket of Fruit, and The Musician, the only known male portrait painted by Leonardo. An intimate and emotionally engaging experience for true lovers of art and genius.
