Fantastic walking tour of Milan. Barbara from City Wonders was very knowledgeable and provided very interesting and informative commentary. It was a hot day, but on the positive side, most of Milan had gone on vacation so the crowds were very manageable. The Duomo castle and the Last Supper were memorable.
Expensive for what you got. Your guide was late, no access to private duomo areas. Lots of stuff outside duomo. Stopped by police partway through. Last supper was the highlight for sure. Could easily do this on your own

The Duomo was spectacular, the Last Supper was amazing, and all the sites we saw between were great! But the best part was our guide, Fadia! She was so knowledgeable and passionate. The tour would not have been the same without her! 10 out of 10
The guided trip was amazing. Our guide was very nice, funny, knowledgable and kept checking on everyone's well being.
Wonderful tour! Simone eas awesome. City Wonders was great. So amazing to see the Last Supper! I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Excellent walking tour. Debbie was an amazing guide and we learned a lot from her. The Last Supper painting was our highlight of the tour.
It was a wonderful experience with Silva who was a pleasant and knowledgeable guide. The Duomo was beautiful. The Last Supper was divine.
Great intro to Milan without a whole day commitment. Also, it’s a much easier way to get tickets into the duomo and last supper. It’s a 3hr tour but that includes a 20-25 min break and a 20 min walk to the last supper. Davide is enthusiastic, friendly and informative. Logistics were easy to follow.
Marika made our 3-hour Milan tour truly amazing. Her engaging storytelling, deep knowledge, and insightful details brought the Cathedral and The Last Supper to life. Professional, friendly, and passionate - highly recommended!
My family was taking a cruise and stopped at Genova port. We took a private car from the port to Milan and the timing was a bit tight, lucky that the meeting point is easy to find and instruction is very clear. Reminders were sent to me in advance and keep me informed. The whole tour lasted for 3 hours with a small break for bathroom and coffee, a very good arrangement. Last Supper is amazing of course, indeed it is very challenging to book a ticket. What impressed us is how knowledgeable and passionate our guide is. Overall a very good experience.
