About this tour
Spend four to five hours exploring Milano's centre with a local guide before heading to a family kitchen for a hands-on cooking class. You'll taste an aperitivo in a historic downtown bar, then board a vintage tram to learn how to make risotto ossobuco—the city's signature dish—alongside a professional chef in a home kitchen. Lunch is included. It's a genuine slice of Milanese life: the landmarks, the ritual, the food that matters.

What to expect
Your guide meets you in the city centre and walks you through Milano's major historical sites at a comfortable pace. You'll stop for a proper aperitivo—vermouth, small bites, the real thing—in a bar that's been pouring drinks for decades. Then you board an old tram: a pleasant, unhurried journey across town to Anna's home. In her kitchen, you and the chef prepare risotto ossobuco step by step, learning the technique and the why behind each move. You cook, taste, adjust. Lunch follows—what you've made, plus other dishes. It's hands-on, not a demonstration.
