Milan Family Fun in Parco Sempione in Milan - 9c22c76399433eee0f012817dd2c97ef

Discover an off the beaten side of Milan, its green lung. Away from the heart of the city, Parco Sempione is waiting for you and your family to give you plenty of things to do together. From an aquarium to a playground next to a lake plus games and activities for your kids. The fun is endless!

Visit the Civic Aquarium, a children’s favorite spot, and try to find Nemo among the hundred species of fish and sea creatures living here. You'll be welcomed by the god of the sea himself. An imposing statue of Neptune stands on the façade of the superb Art Nouveau building that houses the Aquarium, inviting you to go in.

Not only will your kids have a great time at the Aquarium, throughout the whole experience there will be games and activities prepared. Go on a treasure hunt and look for sea creatures near the park’s lake. Your prize will be a gelato or a snack in Bar Bianco.

There are plenty of activities that can be added to your itinerary too. Rent a rickshaw to keep exploring ( or how about a cappuccino stop. Kids will also love feeding ducks and discovering the colorful statues of Giorgio De Chirico’s.

Touch the sky on top of Torre Branca, a high tower in the heart of the park (availability subject to change). Take a quick lift and enjoy the most amazing view of Milan. On a clear day, you can even spot the Alps!

The fun continues with a playground stop where the kids can swing, slide, and do some rope climbing. In addition, there are merry-go-rounds, a train ride, electric go-karts, and a roller skating rink.

We had an amazing experience touring Milan with Francesca! She was friendly and passionate, and her warmth made the tour so enjoyable for our whole family, especially our 3-year-old. Francesca was fantastic with our son—he adored her, and she kept him engaged throughout. She showed us the beautiful, authentic side of Milan that we hadn’t seen before, making the experience truly special. We absolutely recommend Francesca to anyone looking for a memorable and genuine tour of Milan!Wonderful Family-Friendly Tour

Primo tour con withlocals, esperienza positiva. Francesca è una guida puntuale, dinamica e mi ha fatto scoprire tante curiosità storiche e tanti luoghi: dall’acquario, al museo della Triennale, passando per i sentieri più belli del parco Sempione. Consiglio questo tour sia ai turisti che ai milanesi stessi.Esperienza positiva

We chose Francesca for this tour and so glad we did. She was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. My husband injured his knee and she was very mindful of his comfort. Her knowledge of Milan’s history is vast. We learned so much. She brought us to churches as this was our interest. We strolled through a lovely botanical garden. It happened to be fashion week so we detoured to the high end designer shopping district to window shop. She found a terrific cafe for lunch with the most delicious paninis. If you choose Francesca for this tour you will not be disappointed!This is a Great Start to Tour Milan!

Francesca is an excellent guide and is hugely knowledgable about history, politics and the history of art. We covered a lot of ground in our three hours with her both literally and metaphorically (lots of questions asked and answered). She gave us a fantastic recommendation for lunch in Brera allowing us to avoid tourist restaurants. Good overview of Milan

Francesca was an excellent communicator from the start, answering all my messages and requests very promptly. She met me at the exact time and location that I requested. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Milan and took me to many points of interest, hidden museums and churches that I would’ve missed. She also informed me about many cultural aspects of Milan including the food and fashion scene. Very enjoyable 3 hours. Efficient crash course on Milan, since I had very limited time Perfect day

Francesca is knowledgeable about Milan's history and its impact on language, cuisine, and culture. We toured in the Brera area and had several staples that all hit the spot: focaccia pizza, charcuterie and wine, cappuccino and hot chocolate, gelato, cannoli, and cannoncini. A great way to spend an afternoon early in our visit!Wonderful, informative, captivating

During our recent trip to Milan we had the pleasure of being guided by Francesca for a 3 hour tour of the city. She is a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide with a passion for the city's history, culture and art. The tour balanced iconic landmarks like the Duomo and Sforza Castle with hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own. If you are visiting Milan for the first time and want an introduction to this beautiful city, we highly recommend booking a tour with Francesca.Wonderful Tour Guide in Milan

We have been to Milan quite a few times, but always explored the city on our own. Having a special occasion during the last trip to Italy, we decided to try something different, though. Choosing a tour of Milan’s best food spots with Francesca was absolutely right. Great places to see and visit, amazing food and wonderful company made our day. We discovered the city from the other angle and saw it with a local’s eyes. Definitely recommend to anyone coming to Milan!A pleasant day in Milan

Francesca took me & my 2 teen daughters around town. It was the first full day we were in Italy & it was good to have the tour then so we could ask questions about Italy early on. Francesca knows a lot of history of Italy & kept it interesting & just the right pace. She took us around the outskirts of Duomo, the beautiful historical library, the castle (so beautiful!), a bakery, & lots of other places. You can tell her what you would like to see & she can customize. Great tour

What a brilliant food walking tour! Francesca was wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible with our group. We loved the diversity of food and getting to walk in neighborhoods we wouldn’t have otherwise discovered. So much food so please bring your appetite. Francesca also recommended some local shops that sold Christmas ornaments for gifts. Highly recommend this tour. Thank you Francesca 🙏🏽The 10 Tastings of Milan

We had a three hours guided tour in the center of Milan. Francesca knows all the hidden places where you might not come as tourist in Milan. We made a stop at Marchesi, famous for the best Panetones and owned now by Prada, and had a great Panetone tasting. We saw ancient Roman remaining as well as hidden sideways and the castle. Very well and with deep and profound knowledge about history and culture presented. Francesca is really a full heart an experienced guide grown up in Milano. Thanks a lot. And we hope to meet again for a next tour when hopefully coming back to Milan. Baci. Angela & RolandGreat guid - great experience

Francesca was prompt in meeting us at our hotel. My friend and I liked it that she began our tour with a brief overview of the history of Milan. I've visited the city many times with friends but this was the first time that I have seen the tucked away treasures that I have walked past several times. Our time passed quite quickly, we truly enjoyed it mostly because Francesca is such a kind, knowledgable person. This is her city, she grew up here. We really were with a local! Highly recommend this tour. Delightful!

We loved our tour with Francesca. She is friendly, knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor and loves Milan. We had a great time. Equally important - I had contacted Francesca several times prior to our trip with various questions about the practicalities of navigating Milan. She went above and beyond in offering suggestions including checking out options regarding a yoga studio. I will be back in Milan with another set of friends next spring and am already looking forward to spending another day in the beautiful city of Milan with Francesca.Fantastic!

Francesca took some time to discuss what I wanted to see and planed an excellent tour with a balance of the “must see” spots and some great “off the beaten track” places. Her knowledge, incredibly comprehensive, was shared in an easy manner rather than it being like a download from a guide book. I never felt we were under any time pressure or had to keep to a schedule. I cannot recommend Francesca highly enough. I’m also glad I passed her test in saying the statue was of Napoleon not Nero. I really was listening.Highly recommended

Francesca was just amazing. She planned an itinerary just for us. Taking us to some of the historical sites of Milan not on her original route. She spent time explaining the iconography of several exquisite churches that we as non-Catholics wouldn’t have understood had we gone on our own. She surprised us with a trip to the stock exchange and the finger sculpture. A truly worthwhile tour. And not much more than a generic, commercial tour would have been. One of the best tours we’ve ever been on.

I am trying to tap the 10 on the rating but it will not take it. I rate Francesca a 10. She knew her history and could answer my 52 year old daughter’s questions. She has a 17 year old so understood my 17 year old granddaughters short attention spans and the need for coffee and eating often. Because of all of the above I have booked her for two different Milan tours. Guide knew history well!

Francesca kept us all interested with her knowledge of the duomo and galleries Vittoria and the castle. She pointed out details that our eyes would never have noticed. My 14 and 15 year old teenagers were interested and actually paid attention! So bravo Francesca ! 3-3.5 hours. It was cold but she found a delightful tea stop for us to warm up and take a break. We only had 2 days in Milan so was great to see the “must do” places in a short amount of time. Definitely recommend. Good tour and with teenagers

Francesca was an awesome tour guide in Milan – a solid 10! She knows Milan like the back of her hand and made the whole tour super interesting. Her love for the city is catchy, and she made sure our tour was just what we wanted. Always on time, she showed us cool spots most tourists miss. Her tips for local food were bang on, and her stories kept us hooked. If you're in Milan, I'd say go with Francesca for a top-notch tour. Thanks a bunch, Francesca!
