A unique experience at the Milan Food Tour in the Navigli Taking part in the Milan Food Tour in the Navigli alone was an exceptional gastronomic experience. The tour offered delicious tastings and a variety of authentic flavors. The guide was incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere that made every participant feel at ease. I highly recommend this food tour to anyone, even those who decide to participate alone.

Jessica was a fabulous and fun guide for our Eating Milan Navigli tour. We had a fun group of 12 and such a funny moment when we walked into “Chunk” and the staff had a matching shirt to what my husband was
wearing. The carpaccio and polenta with Gorgonzola, at Chunk, was my favorite on the tour as shown picture #1

This was an amazing food tour. Maria picked out some great spots in navigli and everything was delicious. We didn’t have to walk too far to get to each spot and the walking we did do was so nice because the city was very laidback and beautiful. Highly recommend

Giuseppe
Born in Palermo and raised in Lombardia 🇮🇹, I've also lived for 9 years in London 🇬🇧 and 3 years in Granada 🇪🇸
My favorite Milanese food is polenta & gorgonzola, simple yet hearty.
