Hi, I’m Emanuela from Milan, Italy. Nice to meet you! I’ve been a qualified tour guide since 2006, certified to lead tours in Milan, Monza, Como, and more. My experience has allowed me to meet people from all over the world and help them discover the beauty of my city (and the one of my country, too). I love art in all its forms (painting, sculpture, architecture, and music) and I love talking about it. I believe I'm privileged to have been born in a country rich in splendid works. I'm proud to have been born in a country that gave birth to such talented artists as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Puccini, and Verdi. What better job could there be to spread this message than that of a guide? I graduated from a high school specializing in foreign languages, art history, and tourism. I speak fluent English and French, and hold both a C1 Cambridge English and a CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Like all Italians, I am skilled in non-verbal communication. We Italians are well known for our funny way of communicating through facial expressions and gestures, and during my tours, I love making them interactive and engaging as I teach guests to use hand “Italian” gestures. Try it and believe it! Another Italian tradition I like to introduce my guests to is the one tied to our good food. For Italians, good food, good wine, or simply a cup of espresso becomes the medium for sparking a pleasant conversation. And then Italian cuisine is now part of the world heritage. How could I avoid talking about our typical dishes during my tours? If you're looking for an effective way to admire splendid masterpieces, learn to enjoy good Italian food and wine, and even learn how to gesticulate as we do here in Italy, well, all you have to do is choose one of my tours. I look forward to seeing you here in Milan. If my calendar seems full, don’t hesitate to contact me anyway. I may still be able to accommodate you. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver. Please note that I provide pick-up and drop-off at the hotel only through the driver. I will meet you directly at the designated meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

We learned so much on this tour and Emanuela is a great tour guide. We saw all of the important city sites and Emanuela answered all of our questions. Her English is excellent and she was very helpful in sending me a link to book a tour of The Last Supper

Our tour of Milan with Emanuela was wonderful! We saw everything we wanted to see, had plenty of time at each site and enjoyed the history and details she provided. We highly recommend using Emanuela if you want an informative and friendly person to guide you through Milan!

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Milan. Emanuela was fabulous. She was not only knowledgeable but also very entertaining. The audio system really worked well and added to the ease of the tour.

Emanuela was fantastic! Kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable and thorough. Our group of 10 thought she was delightful and enjoyed every moment. Thank you Emanuela for a wonderful tour of Milan!
Rosalind B.United Kingdom
We found the tour with Emanuela very good. She was informative, warm and friendly, and made the tour incredibly interesting with all her knowledge and history about Milan. She even provided other members of our party with tips and suggestions on more places to see or visit, that we might find interesting. She informed us of a Christmas market that was happening, (which some of our party took full advantage of visiting!) and the best places for ice cream and panettone! I would certainly recommend Emanuela for a tour - you will not be disappointed!
Your Milan tour itinerary
On our tour, we will discover: - Castello Sforzesco (outside) - Sempione Park - Duomo Cathedral (inside) - Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II - Scala Theatre (inside) - Leonardo da Vinci's monument - Palazzo Marino -The itinerary can be customized according to your needs and requests. -If you want to add Leonardo's Last Supper or the Duomo Terraces, please contact me! -If you want to add the tour of the Duomo roof Terraces, which is not included in my tour, I’ll provide you with the correct admission ticket, but you will part ways with me at the elevator or, without me, go up to the roof terrace before meeting her. You’ll then have plenty of time to explore at your leisure and enjoy walking among the spires, taking your selfies, and admiring the breathtaking views of the Milanese skyline.
