What you'll do
Our Do Eat Better Experience tour is a walking food tour in at least 4 stops around the Brera area. The tourist is guided by a "Foodie", a local "buddy" able to explain every detail of the selected bars, their beverages and preparations, and the relevant history/curiosities. Do Eat Better Experience tours are a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way of showing Italian culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend. This is the reason why we accept small groups only: we want to focus on a genuine exchange and give to each tourist the highest attention possible. Please, note that the tour is always run in English and Italian; other languages upon request.

Itinerary
- 1Milan has always been characterized by a great passion for patisserie. The city of panettone has opened the doors to many pastry chefs, who have brought their art under the Madonnina statue since the nineteenth century. Luxury, historical boutiques and modern, bright colored patisseries, compete over who comes top.
- 2Only in our discovery tour of milanese pastry and bakery you can try these two, apparently distant, realities which are actually bonded by the love for high quality desserts. Even if it doesn't look like it, milanese people are gluttonous by nature and always find a moment to go to the bakery. Maybe it won't be a long visit but for few minutes they will relax and enjoy their favorite dessert.
- 3We will take our time to make you live and learn about the milanese patisserie in a time travel experience between flavours and, above all, emotions. Along our tour "The Gluttonous Milan" you will get to know some of the most characteristic patisserie specialties in Milan.
- 4
We start with a typical dessert of northern Italy and especially of the area between Milan and Novara. In the Milanese: cannoncini.
After that, you will taste the famous panettone, the symbol of Milanese bakery tradition.
- 5
We continue with the typical marron glacé, a very ancient dessert, simple, but with a great taste.
- 6
You cannot came to Milano and don't try the delicious Pasticceria pastries: well known and appreciated throughout Italy. It is the custom to bring them to the family Sunday lunch. Of various shapes, sizes and colours, pastry chefs have invented all types and it is precisely from mignon pastry that you can understand the talent and the art spirit of a great chef.
