This walking tour lasts about three and a half hours and takes place in Milan’s Navigli district, known for its canals designed by Leonardo da Vinci. A local English-speaking guide leads the group through the area, stopping at several locations to taste traditional food and drinks from Italy and Europe. The tour begins at Sciuè Navigli, where participants try pizza fritta with a Campari Soda next to the canals. The group then visits a traditional Milanese housing style featuring shared balconies overlooking inner courtyards, followed by a walk through a historic alley with original stone washboards once used by washerwomen. Along the way, the guide explains the role of the Navigli canals in Milan’s trade and daily life. The tour includes a stop at a well-known spot on the Naviglio Grande to sample premium meat dishes from a local butcher, served with polenta and gorgonzola or a selection of charcuterie or carpaccio, paired with wine. Next, participants visit a Ligurian specialty restaurant to taste farinata, a chickpea focaccia cooked in copper pans, and focaccia di Recco filled with creamy cheese. The following stop is at a renowned restaurant in Navigli where guests enjoy saffron risotto alla Milanese, ossobuco meatballs or venison ragu, accompanied by wine. The tour ends with a choice of dessert: either a live demonstration of deconstructed tiramisù paired with specialty coffee or a high-quality gelato made from natural ingredients. Food tastings and stops may vary by day or season. The tour does not include hotel pickup, gratuities, or extra drinks. It is suitable for participants aged 4 and older who have purchased tickets with food included. Those with severe allergies should consider this carefully. Throughout the walk, the guide shares insider tips about local food and the city.
