The guide was amazing and made accommodations after i found out that my train was no longer going to arrive on time and i arrived after the tour had already started. I appreciate the communication and their willingness to go above and beyond to make sure I was able to still see the Last Supper!! Thank you so much!
It was an excellent tour which I would recommend to everyone. Lara was exceptional guide. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She comfortably engaged with the group.
Our guide was terrible. Though she was probably knowledgeable, she droned on in a monotonous tone with an accent that was unintelligible for 3 hours. Zero personality. It was extremely hot and though not anyone's fault, there was very little time to cool off anywhere. We just stood in the heat listening to "Charlie Brown's parents". After a couple of hours...we opted out as most people did and went on our own. We did other tours where the tour guide was enlightened, friendly, understandable, interesting, and engaged. This guides was none of those things. I would have preferred just listening to static on the monitor they gave us. Sorry to be brutal but it was over $200 for 2 people. Also, not their fault, but expectations should be set about "The Last Supper". It has been restored so many times that less than 20% of it is even original. This piece of art has been destroyed over the years. Just look at some images online and save your money.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We understand that every guest has different preferences when it comes to a guide's presentation style. We have worked with this guide for many years and have consistently received excellent feedback regarding her knowledge and professionalism. Nevertheless, we take your comments seriously and will share them with our team as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the experience we provide. We are also sorry that the hot weather affected your enjoyment of the tour. Unfortunately, during walking tours we have limited opportunities to stay indoors, especially in the summer months. Regarding The Last Supper, we understand your observation about its restoration history. However, the significance of the masterpiece lies not only in the remaining original paint, but also in its extraordinary historical, artistic, and cultural importance. Seeing Leonardo da Vinci's work in person, in its original location, remains a unique experience for many visitors from around the world. Thank you again for your feedback. We appreciate your comments and will use them to continue improving our tours. Kind regards, Wander in Italy
This tour was great! It starts with Last Supper which is great! Our tour guide was phenomenal! He was knowledgeable, funny and really took care of our family. My mother is not as healthy as she used to be and the tour guide did everything he could to make sure she was comfortable and had a good experience.
Sylvia was a wonderful tour guide. It was uncomfortably hot out, but she had great energy and kept us going! I had already visited a few of the sites on the tour, but she had even more info to share. This trip was well worth it.
Great tour guide for our group. Was very patient with us and spoke clearly and slowly for all to understand.
Despite the heat I had a great time. I was a bit anxious about meeting the guide but once I saw the sign I was relived. Alessandra, the tour guide was fantastic. Her knowledge of the sites was greatly informative.
Milan was 95 degrees so we only did the viewing of the Last Supper museum, skipping the city tour. Our guide was incredible. She was an art history major and supplied us with great insight into the history and creation of this masterpiece.
We really enjoyed our walking tour of Milan with Daniele. He was very knowledgeable and funny. Everything was well organised, including the visit to the church to see The Last Supper.
A great tour giving you the opportunity to have a front line view of The Last Supper along with a fun and interesting walking tour of some sights in Milan!
