Sunset Navigli Boat Tour in Milan with Optional Aperitivo
Overview
50 minutes
Mobile ticket
Cruising the Navigli canals offers one of the most authentic and intimate glimpses into the heart of Milan’s vibrant culture and history. As the boat gently glides over the tranquil waters, you’ll be surrounded by the historic charm of these iconic waterways, once designed by Leonardo da Vinci himself.
In the evening the air is cooler and tinged with the rich aromas of freshly baked bread and simmering sauces wafting from nearby trattorias. Gentle laughter and the murmur of conversations spill from waterside bars, blending harmoniously with the occasional splash of an oar or the soft hum of passing boats.
Savoring a glass of fine Italian wine during this journey enhances every moment, the flavors complement the scenery perfectly. It’s more than a cruise—it’s an immersion into Milanese life, a blend of history, romance, and indulgence that lingers long after the boat ride ends.

2.00Check-in was not organized, and boat staff was barely friendly at best. Said drinks were included with a green check if an option was picked, but it didn’t show you if the option was picked.

1.00Not worth it! The staff is unfriendly with no interaction to make it a unique experience. The food/drink combo is a joke. The wine was horrible and the food was yesterday’s left overs. A waste of money!!! If considering, do yourself a favor and pass. Take a walk instead.

4.00I would have liked an explanation of the route, a historical intervention of the construction and use of the canals
Milan not in sight

2.00The journey took only 41 minutes instead of the announced 50-60 minutes. It just went straight out and briefly into a turning hammer. The prestigious buildings were consistently unspectacular. The tour was only available through headphones. If you didn't know this before and didn't have one with you, you unfortunately didn't get told anything. Overall, we didn't really see anything from Milan.
