About this tour
A three-hour walking tour through Milan's back streets with a local food guide who takes you to three neighbourhood shops, sampling the city's savoury and sweet street food traditions along the way. You'll taste what Milanese actually eat, learn how artisanal producers make their staples, and see the neighbourhoods where these foods matter. Groups stay small—no more than twelve—so you can ask proper questions and move at a conversational pace.
Highlights
- Three tastings across savoury and sweet Milan specialities
- Visit working artisanal food shops, not tourist traps
- Local guide shares neighbourhood history and producer stories
- Small group maximum of twelve people
- Walk between tasting stops through residential Milan
What to expect
You'll meet your guide at an agreed point and spend the next three hours on foot, stopping at three different food shops. Each stop involves tasting something—perhaps panettone at a traditional bakery, cured meats at a salumeria, or the city's signature street bites. Your guide explains what you're eating, who makes it, and why it matters in Milan's food culture. You're not sitting at a table; you're standing, tasting, moving, observing how locals shop and eat. Expect cobbled streets, narrow arcades, and working-class neighbourhoods rather than postcard Milan.
Good to know
Comfortable walking shoes are essential. The route covers uneven terrain and involves roughly three kilometres on foot. Public transport is nearby if you need it. Tour suits all fitness levels, though the pace is steady rather than leisurely. Bring water.
