With our quizzes, you don't need a tour guide. Instead, with our unique treasure hunts, you'll become the true city explorer and will learn exciting stories and see unusual places, at your own place with your friends.
Our tours include plenty of famous sights, along with spots that are only known by the locals.
You will go around the city, discover many monuments that are unknown to half the people even living here! You will find breathtaking churches and fantastic frescoes, and get to breathe in the true culture of Milan.
The tour quiz starts in the
meeting point in the city center (the exact location will be communicated after the booking).
Here you will
meet locals who will explain you the rules and will give you all the materials you need for the game:
• a map of the city with all the stops and addresses;
• a guidebook with fascinating stories about each place that you are going to explore (available in different languages);
• a list of activities and questions which you will need to answer along the way;
• a branded bracelet of Xmilan which will help you to recognize other hunters on your way and which itself is a lovely souvenir for you.
And don't forget to choose the super name for your
dream team! Now you are ready to go :-)
You and your friends will explore the city
armed only with the map and the guidebook.
Depends on how fast you are and whether you stop for a drink or snack or not, the tour can last
from 2 to 3 hours. At the end of your journey, you will be cheered by organizers who will check your answers and give even more
gifts:
• a copy of the guidebook for each person of your team;
• a map of the best restaurants and bars created by locals;
• a beautiful postcard with a picture of Milan to send to your loved-ones;
• and if you will finish before other teams and with all correct answers you can also win a special prize!
But there's still one surprise: if your team's performance is better than that of the other groups, you will become the winner of the day, and we will publish the news about it on our pages on Facebook and Instagram.
Sounds exciting, doesn't it? Don't waste your time, book your unique Milan experience!

* You can use this formula for all Italian ten-place numbers—so 31 is trent'uno, 32 is trenta due, 33 is trenta tre, etc. Note that—like uno (one), otto (eight) also starts with a vowel—all "-8" numbers are also abbreviated (vent'otto, trent'otto, etc.).
