Why we recommend it
Zani Viaggi is one of the established names in organised sightseeing in Milan. The family business traces its roots to 1951, when Giovan Battista Zani started a coach service in San Pellegrino with two buses, and it has grown into a travel agency and incoming tour operator with offices on Via Cusani, a short walk from the Castello Sforzesco. Today it runs coach transport, city tours, hop-on hop-off sightseeing and boat trips on the Lombard canals, as well as excursions across northern Italy.
Its Milan programme covers the main bases for a first visit. Its Tour di Milano range includes guided walks and coach tours of the historic centre, and a dedicated group of tours includes entry to Leonardo's Last Supper, which is useful when individual tickets have sold out. For a different view of the city, the company also runs boat trips along the Naviglio Grande and around the Darsena, the old city dock, which show the canal district from the water.
Beyond the city, Zani's day trips are popular with visitors who want to see the lakes without driving. The Como and Bellagio excursion combines a coach journey from Milan with a cruise on Lake Como, and there are shopping trips to the Serravalle Designer Outlet, with a hotel pick-up option. Other excursions reach destinations further afield in Lombardy and neighbouring regions.
The tours suit first-time visitors, older travellers and anyone short on time who would rather leave the logistics to someone else. Families with children usually find the boat trip and the lake excursion the easiest options, while art lovers may prefer the smaller guided tours of the centre. Group sizes, languages and inclusions vary by tour, so read the details of each one carefully before booking.
Book online through the official website, where each tour lists its meeting point, duration and what is included. Last Supper tours in particular sell out early, so reserve as soon as your dates are fixed. For lake trips, wear comfortable shoes and bring a layer, as it can be cooler on the water. Check the cancellation terms when booking, especially for weather-dependent boat trips.
