Colonne di San Lorenzo
.Admire the white majestic columns of the Colonne di San Lorenzo, framed by the Porta Ticinese Medievale gate of brown brick. It is believed that these columns, one of the few structures of the ancient Roman Mediolanum (the predecessor of Milan), probably built by order of the Emperor Maximian in the 2nd-3rd century. It is said that the columns were part of the ancient pagan chrome of the II-III centuries, located on the site of today's Church of Santa Maria Beltrade. They were transported here in the 4th century. But whether this is true or not, and where they came from, no one can answer for sure.
20 minutes here
Basilica San Lorenzo Maggiore
A magnificent architectural structure, which is very interesting to see both outside and inside.16 Corinthian columns (part of an ancient temple) are installed in front of the Basilica. In the chapel of St. Aquilina preserved several late antique mosaics. The circular interior layout is very unusual. The impression is very large dome (the largest in Milan).
30 minutes here
Darsena
Darsena was originally built as a trading port in the early 17th century. Now it is a favorite place for both locals and tourists to hang out, have a good meal, or just have an "aperitive" at some of the many restaurants and bars in the area. The place is always busy, with a lot of people, but in the evenings it becomes very busy. It is very pleasant just to wander through the channels. The place is very photogenic.
30 minutes here
Vicolo dei Lavandai
It was here, among small houses with characteristic wooden shutters, that until the middle of the last century Laundry was washed in special stone gutters under sheds with a tiled roof. It is noteworthy that women were not allowed to do this physically demanding work. The appearance of ancient laundries remained untouched by time. The building that once housed a pharmacy and sold soap is now a stylized restaurant. You can see the prototype of the first washing machine, a huge centrifuge made in 1900.

This lock compensates for the two-meter drop between the former lake Sant'eustorgio (where the Darsen dock is now) and the ring canal. It was used to transport marble for the construction of the Milan Cathedral from Lake Maggiore. When the Duke of Milan Ludovico Moro's wife Beatrice died, he ordered the construction of this gateway to deliver building materials to the Milan Cathedral. For boats working on construction, passage through the lock was free. There is a booth with the Visconti coat of arms and a sign with the image of the Madonna protecting the Milan Cathedral with her cloak.

Naviglio Grande
The former transport channel with warehouses and barns has now become a promenade with many restaurants, bars, cafes and shops (and not easy - a lot of second-hand books, music). It has its own special atmosphere. Wide passages on the sides, a shallow channel with clear water, many cafes and restaurants, all walking. Peace of mind.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Milan Tour with the Oldest Canal and Ancient Church in Navigli District: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milan.
How much does Private Milan Tour with the Oldest Canal and Ancient Church in Navigli District cost?
+
Prices start at $149 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 Private Milan Tour with the Oldest Canal and Ancient Church in Navigli District take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Private Milan Tour with the Oldest Canal and Ancient Church in Navigli District worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Private Milan Tour with the Oldest Canal and Ancient Church in Navigli District?
+
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 Private Milan Tour with the Oldest Canal and Ancient Church in Navigli District suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Milan Tour with the Oldest Canal and Ancient Church in Navigli District?
+
Around 0 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Milan Tour with the Oldest Canal and Ancient Church in Navigli District 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, Milan: Pasta and Tiramisu Small Group Cooking Class with Wine, 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.
