Milan's Style Secrets: Elite Private Design & Fashion Tour

Had the best morning with Adriana touring around the fashion district of Milan. She started the tour by giving us an insightful history lesson of the fashion houses of Italy and how Milan became the fashion capital- laying the foundation of the day. Then we walked the streets and and talked about the different Italian brands that influence the fashion world today - new emerging brands and the old cornerstones that all are still relevant today. We walked into stores and we got to do some Shopping with her as well and picked out some great prices that I will treasure for years to come. She made my husbands birthday super special- accommodating several male brands to make sure he got something for himself as well. We also did a nice stop in an old Milanese patisserie for a cappuccino and snack. Was interesting to also learn about current initiatives in the fashion world and the healthy competition between the Italian and French fashion houses. Would love to do the tour all over again. Adriana was a jewel- gives great energy and she is full of knowledge.

Good overview of fashion district by walking tour. Ready to wear to high end couture. Adriana was great.

Sara is so full of fashion knowledge and knew many of the shop keepers' stores that we visited. I'd highly recommend Sara's tour for anyone with an interest in fashion design.

Learned more about my Jewish heritage. I had not known anything about Jewish roots in Italy. Seeing how There was a Jewish revival. But also, the threat to it as evidenced by the military guards at the ends of the the street.

Adriana was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. Would definitely take the your again but would do early in trip so can use the information you learn the rest of the trip

We spent a fabulous morning with our guide Sze. As Milan is the fashion capital of Italy, we wanted to know a bit more about what makes Milan tick, apart from historic buildings, cathedrals, museums etc. and this tour fit the bill. Sze described the historical foundations of Milan as a fashion, and fabric centre, which we found fascinating. Sze has a vast knowledge of the history of the fashion industry, and delivered information in an entertaining and interesting way. We visited Palazzo Morando -a museum dedicated to the history of Milan and to fashion, where historic fabric samples are shown, some of which are still available today at the same fabric manufacturer. We did lots of high-end window shopping, while Sze explained the Milanese way of dressing and how fashion in Milan, even today, always has some nod to the past. He was able to demonstrate this with visits to designer shops to look at items. It was an enjoyable and fun tour and gave us an insight into the fashion side of this fantastic city. Along the way, going along back streets to get from one area to another, we discovered little pockets of Milan, including a secluded small garden, that we otherwise would not have seen. Highly recommend!

I loved this tour! It was a 3-hour walk through Milan’s design and fashion neighborhoods, and honestly, it flew by. Adriana was incredible—so fun to be around, super charismatic, and such a great storyteller. She made every street and building feel special, sharing cool stories and insider info that made me see Milan in a totally new way. I’ve been to Milan a bunch of times, but this tour took me to places I’d never even noticed before. I learned about designers and styles I hadn’t heard of, and left feeling way more connected to the city’s creative side. Adriana’s energy is contagious—she clearly loves what she does, and it shows. Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience Milan beyond the usual tourist stuff. I could’ve kept going for another 3 hours!

Sarah was very knowledgeable and helpful for our first day in Milan! We had a great time walking around shopping and learning more about the culture and history of fashion

Very personal tour with amazing guidance and conversation throughout the tour. It was Design week in Milan so everything was very busy. It was also fun to have someone help pick pieces or comment on what looked best on me. She was quick to say that’s not really your color, this looks better. Those shoes are cute but too big or you don’t look comfortable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a private shopping tour and experience in Milan.

Host was prepared and very informative. He took time to make the tour personal and asked about what interested us. He knew the history of Milan fashion and made it interesting.
