About this tour
Discover Milan's signature aperitivo ritual on a 3.5-hour street food tour through the city's most storied neighbourhoods. You'll stop at bars locals favour, taste cured meats and regional bites, sip wines and cocktails, and hear stories about Milan's transformation from industrial hub to culinary powerhouse. Your guide—someone with real roots here—shares which spots matter and why, connecting you with other travellers and the city's after-work culture in equal measure.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide in a central location and move between 4–5 favourite haunts on foot, stopping for 20–30 minutes at each. Expect bar counters, standing room, and the genuine hum of after-work crowds. Your guide will order for you—salami, cheese, olives, perhaps a fritto misto—and explain what you're eating and why it matters to Milanese identity. Drinks flow freely: prosecco, vermouth, local wines. This isn't plated fine dining; it's neighbourhood eating, done the way locals do it. You'll chat with your guide and other group members between stops.
Good to know
Bars can be crowded during peak times. Mention dietary restrictions or allergies when booking. Wear comfortable shoes; you'll walk roughly 2 km. Public transport is nearby if you need it. Dress smart-casual—Milaneses do.
