The Licensed Tourist Guide is a person who guides visitors in the language of their choice and interprets the cultural and natural heritage of an area, which person normally possesses an area-specific qualification usually issued and/or recognized by the appropriate authority.
Even if Milan is known just as an economical and financial city, or recognized thanks to fashion, is full of monuments and buildings that tell about its long history. Not so far of Milan, there is the City of Monza with its medieval center, the Royal Villa and the famous race track used during F1 Grand-Prix.
