Five stars for five fantastic spots!
The food was incredible, absolutely spectacular. Of course, this is Italy, so the food is naturally delicious, but without this tour we would never have found these amazing places. Everything was outstanding: the cannoli, the pizza, the tiramisu, each one unique and unforgettable. We simply wouldn’t have discovered them if it hadn’t been for this tour. Five stars for five fantastic spots!

Had such a great time on...
Had such a great time on this Milan food tour! The guide was super friendly and made the experience really fun. Every stop had something delicious—from pastries and gelatos to seafood and wine. Loved discovering hidden spots I never would’ve found on my own. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Milan Food Tour and discovered some of the city’s hidden gems with us. If you ever travel again, we’d love to welcome you on one of our other City Food Tour Hidden Gems experiences in Europe (Lisbon, Porto, Madrid, Milan, Prague, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, Amsterdam, Kraków, Warsaw, Brno) or South America (Quito and Cuenca). Just search for “City Food Tour Hidden Gems” on Viator or TripAdvisor. We hope to see you again soon for more delicious adventures!

Very disappointing tour
We love a good food tour but this just wasn’t one of them. The guide didn’t introduce the food well and it was basically a waitress serving us at each spot what we wanted. The lady was lovely but got lost twice and I even had to help find a place.
Response from the operator: I’m very sorry to read your feedback, and I truly regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. The situation with the guide getting lost happened because one of the restaurants recently changed its address, and this created confusion on that specific day. This was a one-time issue, and we have already updated all of our routes to make sure it never happens again. Regarding your comment about the introduction of the food, we take this very seriously. All of our guides are professionals, and after your tour we have provided additional training and feedback to the guide in question, based directly on your review. We are constantly improving, and we now only work with guides who are enthusiastic, well-prepared, and happy to share both the food and the cultural stories behind it. We are confident that future guests will continue to enjoy the authentic dishes, hidden gems, and history that make our tours so special. Thank you again for your feedback, which helps us keep raising our standards.

Food tasting in Milan
we had just arrived in Milan that day so this was a good introduction to the city. The food and locations were good but the meeting place was difficult to find. We were the only ones on the tour so it felt like a private experience which was lovely. Anish was a lovely host.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad Anish gave you such a warm welcome to Milan and that you enjoyed the food and hidden spots — almost like a private tour. We’ll also review the meeting point instructions to make them clearer for future guests. If your travels take you further, we’d love to see you again on our City Food Tour Hidden Gems in Lisbon, Porto, Madrid, Prague, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, Amsterdam, Krakow, Warsaw, Brno — and even in South America with Quito and Cuenca. Just look for “City Food Tour Hidden Gems” on Viator or TripAdvisor.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Milan Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milan.
How much does Milan Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups) cost?
+
Prices start at $96 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Milan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Milan Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups) take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Milan is not rushed.
Is Milan Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Milan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Milan Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Milan Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Milan Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups)?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Milan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Milan and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Milan Food Tasting Tour of Hidden Gems (Small Groups) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Milan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Milan?
+
On Outty we rank every Milan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gnocchi, Pasta, Tiramisù and Wine Class, Authentic Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class in Milan, Milan's Hidden Gems: Unique Bike Tour (ENG, NL). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Milan?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Milan?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
