Milan · MILAN NAVIGLI TOURS
11 reviewed
Navigli is Milan at its loosest: canal light, courtyard workshops, aperitivo bars and boats moving through the old waterways. These tours suit a late afternoon or evening.

“Lovely calm cruise in the Nivigli area, long enough to relax with the drink and snacks offered onboard. It was on time, staff were pleasant and professional, no issues at all. We had the later cruise so missed the sunset but was still beautiful.”

“We booked this tour since it was highly rated. We have been to other food tours in other cities and have enjoyed them. Unfortunately this one did not live up to our expectations. The guide started by saying that if there was something wrong with the food or drinks we shouldn’t tell or blame him. The food was okay, but very simple. The drinks or wine we got was okay but nothing out of the ordinary.”
Navigli canal walk with Eating Europe: aperitivo, pizza fritta, farinata, risotto, tiramisù demo, wine and coffee in a small group.
“We had a tour with Jessica. She was fantastic and the tour was great fun. The only reason we gave 4 stars was most food tours we go on prioritize local family owned businesses where this one has mostly local chains. Very good quality and we went back to some later but would prefer to see more small family owned businesses. Overall great tour and would recommend but could be better.”

“The cruise was pleasant and the guide was well-prepared, but the initial organization was disastrous: there was no one at the meeting point (Libraccio), from afar we saw a boat filling up at the time indicated on our ticket (3:40 p.m.), we ran with other unfortunates to the landing stage where they told us that our reservations were not recorded. Our guide arrived and was forced to make himself heard to claim the reservation on behalf of Neiade. In the end they told us that, differently from what was written on the ticket, the time indicated was not the departure time of the boat but the meeting time, that the…”

“Stefano was great very patient and explained the use of the SUP on dry land before launch and what to expect during the activity. The overall experience allows you to be at one with the natural canal environment whilst maintaining focus on your breathing and helps you achieve a mindful practice with freshwater fish below, dragon flies, swifts passing by catching food and even a tiny dormouse in the middle of such a busy city is truly remarkable and very rewarding. Stefano teaches you something for life which is not to be missed”
Private 2.5 hour Navigli walk in Milan: street art, Vicolo dei Lavandai and Basilica San Lorenzo Maggiore with an English local guide.
“This tour made my two day trip to Milan worthwhile. Salvatore, my guide for the walking tour was excellent. Being a local, he explained a number of delightful facts about the neighbourhoods and answered my questions patiently. He also gave me an excellent restaurant recommendation. The second part of the tour involved a short metro ride and a walk into the modern Milan - the contrast was delightful. Salvatore made sure I had a great and insightful day!”

“This was a lot of fun! I did this tour with my granddaughters and we all enjoyed it! Great way to see the “untouristy” Milan. However we did experience extreme difficulties in downloading the information and even though I paid for three “tickets” we could only get it to work on my phone. Disappointing as the girls would have liked access to the game afterwards.”
