Ciao, I'm Emanuela, born and raised in Milan. I've always been fascinated by visual art history and by the richness of cultures from around the world. As a teenager I chose a Language School, then continued by studying art history, following a curiosity that kept growing year after year. In 2005 the choice felt natural: becoming a tourist guide. It's the job that lets me learn every day, study, and talk about the history I love while meeting guests from every corner of the globe.
I speak Italian, English, and French, and my tours always mix art, history, food tips, and a few shopping suggestions to help you enjoy Milan the way locals do.
Being a tour guide is my way of sharing the stories, the details, and the atmosphere that make Milan such a special place. I love meeting people from different cultures and creating a warm connection, keeping the experience light, engaging, and tailored to what my guests truly enjoy. Guiding allows me to combine my passion for history with real human interaction, turning each walk into a moment of discovery.
My favourite tours are those that include the Ambrosiana and the Castello Sforzesco, two places that reflect Milan’s soul: its artistic treasures, its long history, and its quiet elegance. I enjoy bringing visitors into these spaces, uncovering meanings, curiosities, and the little things that make them unforgettable.
So, be sure to check our Last Supper and Pinacoteca Ambrosiana Private Tour, and our Milan: Last Supper and Duomo Private Tour!

Emanuela Did an excellent job. She was very knowledgeable and shared a lot about the city. She is a local and knows a lot about the city and its history even beyond the basics of the tour but she also spoke excellent English. We only had 1 day to spend in Milan and feel like this was a great way to spend it.
This was the best tour. We got picked up at hotel in morning got to Vatican 20 minutes before opening. Our tour guide Emanuela started talking as soon as we got in van. While we waited for Vatican to open she gave us history facts then pulled out a copy of the Sistine Chapel and went over what we would see. she took a us to important artifacts and explained them. I would have been lost and not knowing what I was looking at. The Basílica she walked us thru gave us history on everything. You could tell she loves what she does. It was the best tour. She was funny and the history she knows was astounding this was the best tour we had. This is the way to see the Vatican. They then took us back to hotel
Diese Führung mit Emanuela war ein Highlight mit ihrem grossen Wissen zur Kunst, dem Vatikan und Rom. Sie zeigte und erklärte uns während 3.5 Stunden die Kunstschätze und den Vatikan.
Wir haben eine private Luxustour gebucht. Abholung- und Bringservice haben einwandfrei geklappt. Ein grosses Danke an Manuela, die uns mit viel Passion und Spaß einen spannenden Einblick in die Museen und den Petersdom gegeben hat!! Die Tour hat sich preislich absolut gelohnt und wir würden sie jederzeit wieder buchen!! Kein Anstehen, direkten Zugang, einen wirklich tollen deutschsprachigen Tour Guide!! 5*****+ für dieses Tour Paket.
Skipping the line helped to save time getting into the Vatican, and it was not very crowded throughout the morning. Emanuela was very knowledgeable and passionate about all of the art and history. She did a great job answering questions and focusing the tour on areas our group was more interested in. Definitely was worth the extra money to get a better experience.
Our guide Manuela was the best. She was such a pro and so kind to us. The details she provided us would have surely been missed had we visited on our own. As a group of four she was able to guide us around much larger groups to get up close to the sights for a better experience.
This tour was amazing. Being able to enter the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica with a limited crowd was well worth the money. Manuela, a true Roman and art historian not only provided us with all the information needed, she was able to navigate us around any crowds we may have encountered with ease. I highly recommend this tour especially if you have limited time in Rome.
Manuela , our tour guide was incredible, smart, super informative, passionate about her job and kept my boys (7 year old twins and 12 year old) engaged and interested. Highly recommend her for this private tour!!
