To make sure you can hear our guide, you will be instructed on how to download an App on your own smart phone. Alternatively, any devices we provide you with will be individually wrapped. We also make sure you are socially distanced at all times. We also take great care of you getting through Milan's sometimes busy traffic and over-enthusiastic cyclists.

How do I join the tour?

All our tours depart from a major landmark or Metro station. Just turn up at the designated point as indicated in the tour detail and in your tour confirmation 10 minutes before departure. Look out for your guide who'll be holding up a Milan Walking Tours sign.

 

Is there a dress code?

This is a very relaxed city but when visiting the Duomo or any other church bare shoulders need to be covered and if you're wearing very short skirts and shorts you will be refused entry.

 

What's Milan's public transport like? 

In a word Fantastic and don't let the locals tell you otherwise! There are four Metro lines and many bus and trams to get you round the city efficiently. A 24-hour ticket allows you unlimited access to Milan's outstanding public transport and is €7.00. You can buy the ticket in any Metro station or you can use your contactless credit card if you just want a single one-way journey. 

  

Taxis 

if you want a bit more comfort, then you should go for a taxi. you can't hail them down in the street but you can get your hotel to get one for you or download the App https://free-now.com/it and order a taxi for when you need it. Milan's not a huge city so if you are staying somewhere just outside the centre, the journey will be around €15.
