Great exploratory experience that combines the highlights of Milan and Italian coffee culture.
With a special focus on coffee, we will visit several coffee shops and share what makes our coffee ritual special. I was born and raised Neapolitan and I live breathing coffee and Milan is the only place where you can experience both the northern and the southern way of enjoying it!
Italy is world-renowned for its espresso but we’ll also explore different ways of making coffee and their historical curiosities.
Along the way we will also discover a piece of the Middle Ages - piazza dei Mercanti, the history of the main cathedral, the Royal Palace, the Vittorio Emanuele II Galleria, La Scala theatre- finishing our tour at a one of my favorite coffee spots.
☕️ There will be three stops for coffee - the first two are not included, so you can decide if you want to try both types of coffee or just one of them.
☕️The third coffee and last stop is a free tasting! Go for it!
Great for solo travelers, families and groups.
Let’s explore Milan over a cup of coffee!
(The tour lasts 2:00/2:15 hours. It depends on the number of people on the tour)
