We were in Milan for a week, and wanted a day trip to see something new. This was a good choice - we saw much more than if we had gone by ourselves! The boat ride, for example, was absolutely gorgeous. Plus we really learned a lot on the tour.
The bus was waiting when we arrived, and left exactly on time. Same thing when returning. Excellent organization. In Venice, the boat ride with its views of the city was one of the best experiences of my life. We tried to replicate it - we did a gondola ride during free time, and spent more time on the water!

Did you know about the similarities between Venice and Milan?
Venice is famous for its picturesque canals. However, Milan also has a canal network: the Navigli Canals. These waterways, designed by Leonardo da Vinci, were crucial for irrigation and transportation of goods, just like Venice’s canals - but on a smaller scale. One of Navigli's most famous deliveries was marble from Candoglia, used to construct the Duomo. To enjoy a touch of Venice during your stay in Milan, join one of the excellent Milan tours that pass by the city’s canals, such as the best bike tours in Milan or the Hop-On Hop-Off Milan City Bus Tour.
