Highlights

Il Cenacolo - Start your adventure with skip-the-line access to Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, housed in the Santa Maria delle Grazie—a UNESCO World Heritage site. Discover the secrets behind one of the most famous artworks in the world.
Santa Maria delle Grazie - The precious Milanese church, in perfect early Renaissance Lombard style, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1980 and attracts tourists from all over the world.
Castello Sforzesco - Walk towards the imposing Castello Sforzesco, a symbol of Milan’s medieval and Renaissance power, and delve into its fascinating history.
Via Dante - Traverse Via Dante, known for its vibrant atmosphere and beautiful architecture, linking major landmarks. Named after the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri, it is now known for its chic shops, restaurants, cafés, and bars. The street is flanked by multistory elegant palazzi (palaces), mainly built in the 18th and 19th centuries.
L.O.V.E - Experience “L.O.V.E.,” the controversial contemporary sculpture by Maurizio Cattelan, located in Piazza Affari in front of Palazzo Mezzanotte, headquarters of the Stock Exchange. Eleven meters in total of provocation and irreverence. Quintals and quintals of Carrara marble modeled in a “bad gesture”, almost deliberately obscene. It’s a fairly clear meaning, but it never became “official”.
Via Spadari - We will cross “Via Spadari”, a historic street in Milan, nicknamed the street of good taste. In fact, there are numerous grocery stores here, some of which have resided in this place for a long time! excellent quality gastronomic shops where it is possible to find any type of product, from wine to pastries.
Piazza Mercanti - a charming small square situated in the vicinity of Piazza Duomo. Overlooking the square are a group of buildings serving as a perfect example of Milanese architecture ranging from the Medieval ages to the 17th century. One of the more dominate buildings surrounding Piazza Mercanti is the 13th century Palazzo della Ragione which dates back to Milan’s communal age.
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II - Every house has its living room, the place where guests are welcomed, the most beautiful room. And so Milan also has its “parlor”, the nineteenth-century Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. This splendid covered passage between the Duomo and the Teatro alla Scala is the oldest shopping center in Italy, decorated with mosaics, caryatids, decorations surrounding windows and balconies. Inside there are the shops of the most luxurious brands, historic restaurants or starred chefs, legendary places where you can have an aperitif such as the “Camparino”.
Duomo di Milano - Conclude your tour in Piazza del Duomo, entering through the majestic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Marvel at one of the largest cathedrals in the world and a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Stop in the heart of Milan represented by the beautiful Milan Cathedral which stands out and has enchanted everyone for years, tourists and Milanese citizens who never tire of looking at it and photographing it from every perspective.

Last Supper and gems of Milan - The Last Supper. The guides narrative brought everything to life and into perspective. Gialuca is a fabulous guide. He also pointed out things that we would never have found on our own. The stories were very interesting.

Our tour guide was outstanding and the places we saw were very interesting. Unfortunately, it was a very rainy day and s - Our tour guide was fantastic! Unfortunately, it was a very rainy day, but she made it enjoyable, nevertheless. The experience of Leonardo da Vinci‘s last supper is not to be missed. We had hoped to see more. “ hidden gems” as the tour advertises, but it was great fun anyway!

Great guided tour - Keratins from Riverside Guide was phenomenal with her deep historical understandings and perspectives. Without her guidance, we would perhaps only get a surface level view of the Last Supper. Plus her knowlegdge continued on the walking tour of Milan especially to the Castle. Definitely recommend her who made our experiences that much more enjoyable.

Wonderful (if pricy) experience - Overall I would say the tour was well worth it. We got to see an extremely historic painting (the Last Supper), and our guide gave us interesting insight into the painting itself and a number of other sites on the way to the Duomo. I particularly appreciated our tour guide (Laura)'s personal takes on various things - from a small car show that we happened to pass, to colour commentary on Da Vinci. I only rate it 4 instead of 5 because it seems to me that the price (about 100 Euros per person) for a 3 hour tour with about 20 participants seems a bit steep to me, given the relatively low cost to the tour operator of the only thing they had to pay for (entry to the Da Vinci Last Supper). It seems that the limited number of tickets to that place are snapped up primarily by various tour operators well in advance (apparently you basically have to be ready to book 3 months in advance the moment the tickets open up to have any chance of buying a ticket personally). So I don't blame this particular tour operator, as their prices seemed reasonable from what I could tell compared to others.
