Such an emotional experience, and our guide Marco set the scene so well in preparation for the quick 15-minute viewing. I really felt like I could savor my time with The Last Supper. I highly recommend.
Marco was an exceptionally professional and knowledgeable guide. I loved the way that he gave us all listening devices and headphones. It was a fabulous tour made so by our fabulous guide. The tour is pricy but that is not the fault of the guide. It is nearly impossible to get a ticket so the splurge is well worth it if you have not seen Leonardo’s masterpiece. Thank you again
Flavia was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was very moving.
Wonderful guided tour, our guide was the best we’ve had yet. My daughters especially enjoyed it. Thank you!
Be careful when booking. We had the 6:10 pm tour and were not able to tour the church due to mass taking place. The guide was very knowledgeable about art. It was nice to see The Last Supper, but if you aren’t all that into art, the tour will bore you.
Hello, it is clearly written on the page of the tour that the church is not included in the tour and is an optional activity. The tour you booked is dedicated to Last Supper painting in first place, which is not inside the church. The church is often closed or has mass ongoing. The church has free entrance, you can enter it by yourself without '...touring it'', it is a religious building with many ceremonies going on there for the local community. If you are not into art, we do not suggest to book the tour dedicated to visiting one specific painting of 15ht century strongly connected to the Christian religion. Best regards Memento Italy
If you book on a Sunday, understand that you may not get the full experience due to church services. We were told that attire needed to be respectful-shoulders and knees covered. My group showed up accordingly, even in 95 degree heat, only to be escorted in with folks in shorts and spaghetti straps. You are allowed 15 minutes to actually view The Last Supper, which is adequate, but just know what your ticket covers ahead of time. Our guide was knowledgeable and informative. Overall a worthwhile experience.
Our tour guide was wonderful. We did not feel rushed. He answered all of our questions and was easy to understand.
Very good tour. Alessandro was very informative and to the point. Provided perfect amount of information.
The last supper was awesome. The guide was very informative. There should be an option to skip the church. The dress code did not seem to be enforced. Nobody followed directions which caused delays.
Hello, thank you for your positive review. The church of Santa Maria Delle Grazie is one of the most important sites of Milan, from architectural and historical point of view, so when it is open we tried to include it in the tour. The visit of the church provides a better understanding of the ''Last Supper'' painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. Best regards Memento Italy
Last Supper was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide was very entertaining.
