Excellent Informative Tour - We did this tour on 22nd Aug 2024, with Sara as our guide. We were greatly impressed by Sara's depth and breadth of knowledge of the historical and cultural background of the painting and the basilica. Sara's profession is archaeology, so we felt very lucky to have such a well-educated and accomplished guide. In addition, Sara was extremely patient and calm, and made sure we were all aware of the various logistical requirements of the tour, e.g, the need to leave water bottles & backpacks in the free lockers provided in order to view the Last Supper, and then retrieve them immediately afterwards, before the lockers automatically unlocked themselves after 45 minutes! We would not hesitate in recommending this tour to provide a better understanding of not only the Last Supper, but Leonardo and his other works too.

the final piece of art on our tour... - seeing the Last Supper was a wonderful experience...we had been to the Vatican in Rome and the 4 hours of art experience that included seeing the sculpture of David in Florence so seeing the Las Supper rounded out a wonderful experience of seeing art from masters like I have never experienced...also, the S. Maria delle Grazie and hearing the history of it was lovely, our guide Sara was very through and really loved her topic...

Amazing Tour w/ Katerina - My girlfriend and I chose to do the short 1 hour tour. For us it was the perfect length of time and we learned an amazing amount about Leonardo Da Vinci, the Last Supper painting and fun facts surrounding both. Katerina was an amazing tour guide, and one of the most clear and well spoken tour guides I’ve had across various holidays. She succinctly and excellently explained all the important details and historical facts anyone would want to know visiting. Overall, an amazing tour and Katerina was an amazing guide who I’d highly recommend to any other English speakers visiting.

Book as early as you can, I tried for 6 months. Worth the wait. - The size of the painting was incredible. I didn’t expect to see an entire was filled up. To be able to say I was there and I was able to see this iconic masterpiece in person is something I will always cherish. Our guide was so nice and patient.

Great experience ! - The tour guide was amazing, very informative. I thought it was a bit overpriced but other tours for the last supper are similarly priced so I don’t hold that against them.

Worth It! - Silva was a fabulous tour guide. She was knowledgeable and charming. She was also very patient with guests who rudely showed up late. She even advised us of our attire if we were going to the Duomo. She gave us transportation instructions. She was wonderful. Highly recommend. Seeing the Last Supper gave me chills but there is another beautiful treat in the same room!

What a trip! - We absolutely could not have visited Milan without seeing The Last Supper! Thank you to our guide Elisa who was wonderful, we learnt a lot from her and she was warm, friendly and helpful. The Last Supper and the church were so much better in real life than we had imagined! A trip that will be remembered forever and was worth every penny!
