About this experience

Milan is the Italian city who has most invested on its palatial and exclusive side. Milan welcomes demanding national and international guests every day and offers them a food scene of very high level. The Milan Gourmet food tour is a walking tour around the historical center of Milan. The tourist is guided by a "Foodie", a local "buddy" able to explain every detail of the selected restaurants, their preparations, and the relevant history/curiosities.

Do Eat Better Experience tours are a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way of showing Italian culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend. This is the reason why we accept small groups only: we want to focus on a genuine exchange and give to each tourist the highest attention possible.
