About this tour
This call is a planning session built around Milan's aperitivo culture, the early evening tradition of a drink served alongside something to eat. I talk through a few neighbourhoods on a shared map and explain how the custom has changed over the years. By the end you have a route matched to the kind of evening you want.
We start with a sound check, then I share the map and talk through the areas one at a time. You can stop me with questions about any bar or neighbourhood as we go, and I adjust the suggestions to fit your evening. Afterwards I send the route again in writing.
It suits anyone who wants local advice on Milan's evening culture before heading out. It also works well the afternoon of the evening you are planning.

- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Milan: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Is this suitable if I do not drink?
Yes. Say so when you book and the guide will focus on the atmosphere and venues rather than the drinks list.
