Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, located in the heart of the city, a few steps away from the Duomo, this monumental four-story arcade has a long history to tell. Its origins are said to date back to the Middle Ages when it was used as a covered passage.
Brera and its art gallery, acknowledged by many as the most picturesque, artsy district in Milan, Brera is a favorite haunt for artists all types, from painters to musicians. It is actually quite common to be able to spot a painter sitting at a border its pedestrian streets drawing a real-time work of art.
Navigli, designed by Leonardo da Vinci in person with the aim of transporting goods, the Navigli are curious Amsterdam-like artificial canals. In the past centuries, these curious waterways connected almost any part of the city with the others and were crossed by bridges, like a small Venice.
San Siro Stadium and Museum San Siro stadium, known as the Milanese temple of football is one of the most appreciated spots by sports and soccer lovers in town. Currently, home to A.C. Milan and F.C Internazionale (Inter) teams, the stadium is a majestic circular building

Frequently asked questions

What happens after I book?

Once you complete your booking you will receive a confirmation email. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team at hello@welcomepickups.com for any specific questions regarding your booking.

Can I customize the tour based on my needs?

Of course, that is one of the main benefits of having a Welcome experience. You can customize every last bit of the experience, from points of visit to time spent per landmark to adding in an extra food stop.

Will there be an official tour guide?

An official tour guide is not included because the overall experience is centered around the driver and the local’s perspective. Although the drivers are very knowledgeable regarding the points of visit, at no point can they be compared with a licensed tour guide who can give more in depth information regarding historic facts and information. If you would like to include an official tour guide in the experience please let us know via email after the booking is completed.

Do I need to be in a good physical shape?

The drivers are trained to adapt the experience depending on the type of participants. Whether you have kids or elders participating, the drivers know exactly how to handle special requests and provide an enjoyable experience accordingly. If you choose to be dropped off at the Acropolis, the climb up the Acropolis hill is the most physically demanding activity on the trip, so make sure you bring plenty of water with you on the way up!
