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.

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".
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.
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.
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".

We booked this as we missed the date the last supper tickets were released and these resale sites have them all. If this is you, I will say the tour started at the last supper so this is convenient. You can allot first 45m to last supper. The rest of the tour was interesting (castle, financial district, exterior of duomo) but not worth the charge. We also thought it included entry into duomo which it does not so book your tickets separately.
Dear guest, Thank you so much for your review — we're really glad you enjoyed the experience overall! We do want to clarify one important point: we are not a ticket resale platform. What we offer is a guided tour, which includes admission to the Last Supper as part of the full experience. If you were simply looking for standalone tickets, that is not something we provide — our product is the tour itself, with a professional guide, commentary, and a curated itinerary through Milan. We're happy to hear that the tour start at the Last Supper worked well for you, and that you found the rest of the route — the castle, the financial district, and the Duomo exterior — interesting. Regarding the Duomo interior: our tour covers the exterior and the surrounding historic area. Entry inside the cathedral is not included, as stated in our tour description. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to make this as clear as possible at the time of booking. We hope to welcome you back to Milan soon!
The guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much about Da Vinci's The Last Supper and had plenty of time to view the masterpiece. The tour of Milano was at a pleasant pace taking in sites that we would not have known about. Again lots of interesting history and facts offered in a fun way. The finale at the Duomo was a spectacular finish to a great tour. To keep 29 people interested in 34° heat for 3 hours is impressive. Well done Gialuca
Gianluca was awesome! So knowledgeable and fun, and you could tell he truly wanted everyone to enjoy themselves.
Visiting the cathedral is not included; that was inaccurately described, otherwise a very nice and good tour guide.
Thanks for the review. We beg to differ because it's clearly stated what's included and what's not.
A lovely way to spend a morning in Milan. Lots of walking and be carwful with the start point, its not number 11 but they kindly direct you to the square directly in front of the last supper ticket office. The painting is just amazing and the info from the guide was incredible.
We had a lovely tour guide Linda. She was enthusiastic, friendly and very informative. The Last Supper and Sforza castle were highlights of our 3 hour walking tour as we meandered down via Dante and ended at the Vittorio Emanuele mall and Duomo. A truly wonderful walk.
Starts with the 45 minutes at the convent and Last Supper 15 minute timed entry. It’s a must see experience. After that, you can stay with the group or proceed on your own. We stayed with Linda, who gave a great tour of Sforza Castle, which is open to the public. Some people seemed surprised it was a 3 hour tour, but the the tour follows the Viator listing itinerary.
Our guide Sara was very knowledgeable about Da Vinci and the Last Supper. I feel like I learned so much more about the painting and the symbolism. Most of our tour, she took the opportunity to tie everything back to Da Vinci and his two portions of his life spent in Milan. The quality of the radios was not good. They seemed to be impacted by interference quite frequently and crackled a lot.
Tour guide was fun, knowledgeable and friendly. She made it interesting and we really enjoyed it. The last supper was a once in a lifetime experience and I recommend this tour. She gave us information in a way that was easy to understand including history and current stat le of the things we saw.
This tour was led by Katerina, who is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. It was timed perfectly, and I learned a great deal, far more than I expected.
