How we choose our guides in Milan

Gaido isn't trying to list every guide or agency in Milan. We partner with a small group of local guides from different backgrounds, each leading premium private experiences that show the authentic culture of Milan, not a generic script.

Many guides reach out to join Gaido, and we only add the ones who meet that bar. That's why you'll find 2 guides in Milan rather than hundreds: every one of them is someone we'd send our own friends and family to.

Gaido also groups Milan tours by theme, like walking tours, off the beaten track tours, and city highlight tours, so you can match the style to your trip. You can find more restaurants, bars, shops, and hidden gems in Gaido's Travel Guide section.
