Seeing The Last Supper was absolutely a highlight of my two and a half weeks in Europe. It was breathtaking. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and enhanced the entire experience. I would absolutely do it again.
Our guide, Maria was very local, informative, and fun! Born and raised in Milan. I would highly recommend the tour. It is a lot of walking. And it was a lot in 95° temperatures. But in cooler weather, it would be perfect!
NEVER book with Viator.
I received confirmation of my tour. When we arrived the tour operator had us booked for 2 weeks later. No one was answering the phone on the numbers listed.
The earlier tour of the duomo was fine. But missing a once on a lifetime visit to The Last Supper bc of the tour company's negligence is inexcusable.
Absolutely amazing experience…our guide, David, was excellent on every aspect. The total tour was well beyond what was expected.
Our tour guide David was very knowledgeable and pleasant. He even put in some trivias during the tour. Eventhough there were a lot of walking required, we learned a lot and it was not boring at all. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.
Great opportunity to see the famous last supper with a guide that was so knowledgeable. It was wonderfully to have a small group experience
Very informative and thorough tour! Our tour guide David was very knowledgeable. He explained a lot about the history of Milan, Duomo Milano, last supper, etc . It was a long tour so be prepared to do a lot of walking but there is enough resting in between
The tour was perfect.
The tour guide is the best we ever had.
Very knowledgeable.
Provided a lot of interesting details.
We are really impressed by her.
We absolutely loved the tour.
The whole experience was so iconic. David, our guide explained the significance of all we saw, and made it come alive! We had plenty of time to take photos, and ask questions. This was a very special experience!
The guide was amazing and really knew her art history of “The Last Supper! As we walked around the city she was full of information and suggestions to enhance our experience after tour. I went to the castle museum and saw the Pieta as she suggested and it was massive and full of treasures
Guide was excellent and very knowledgable. The last supper was definitely worth seeing and the tour made it a great learning experience.
Amazing experience with a fantastic guide. Saw many of the major attractions at a very comfortable pace! Getting to skip the line at the Duomo and Last supper was completely worth it. Was intrigued and learning during the entire tour. Highly recommend!
To very carefully read & understand any last minute changes to the meeting point, which I failed to do.
Excellent tour guide, two hrs of interesting information with a twist of italian humor. The last super is a must see.
Definitely worth seeing the Last Supper even though you can only stay 15 minutes. They allow you to take pictures.
The tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining every detail while sharing so many interesting facts and insights. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour!
It was pleasant. But for €15 Euro ticket paid in advance and reading Wikipedia, you can get most of the same out of it. When you’re looking at $200 per person for a 60 minute tour, I would say it wasn’t worth it. We had a very pleasant guide and for €50 per person it would have been much more palatable. The tour had about 10 people. That was a €2000 per hour tour. Holy cow. And unfortunately, I had two questions that were both unknown to the guide.
To save you the time, “ there is a famous story that says Leonardo da Vinci threatened to use the face of a complaining prior as the model for Judas in The Last Supper. The prior was complaining that it was taking Leonardo too long. However, it is almost certainly an anecdote rather than a documented historical fact.”
Here’s the second;
“ On the night of August 15, 1943, Allied bombers struck Milan heavily. The monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie was hit by multiple bombs.
Here’s what happened:
* The roof of the refectory collapsed.
* Much of the monastery around it was destroyed.
* Three of the four walls of the dining hall were blown away or severely damaged.
* The wall containing Leonardo’s The Last Supper remained standing, although exposed to the open air for some time.
Why didn’t the wall collapse?
It wasn’t simply luck, although luck played a huge role.
Several factors contributed:
1. Protective bracing before the bombing
* Anticipating air raids, Italian conservators had surrounded the mural wall with scaffolding, sandbags, and timber supports.
* These were intended to absorb blast forces and catch falling debris.
2. A very strong masonry wall
* The mural is painted directly onto a thick brick wall that formed part of the monastery’s structural core.
* Renaissance masonry of this type can be surprisingly resilient.
3. The bomb blasts struck elsewhere
* The bombs devastated the roof and surrounding portions of the building, but no bomb scored a direct hit on the mural wall itself.
* Had one landed even a short distance closer, the painting almost certainly would have been destroyed.
4. Rapid stabilization afterward
* Once the bombing ended, engineers immediately shored up the surviving wall before weather and structural movement could cause it to fail.
What about the opposite wall?
The opposite end of the refectory contains a large fresco of the Crucifixion by Giovanni Donato da Montorfano. That wall also survived the bombing, leaving the refectory with its two decorated end walls standing while much of the rest of the building lay in ruins.
This produced one of the most haunting photographs of the war: the two monumental paintings still facing each other across what had become an open-air ruin.”
Martino curated this tour splendidly. He takes the extra time to explain so many details, and you can hear the passion in his voice. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, with the amount of time allotted.
We had such a great time exploring Milan! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the city's history come alive with interesting stories and local insights. Seeing The Last Supper, the Duomo, and so many beautiful landmarks was unforgettable. Thank you for an amazing tour—we couldn't have asked for a better guide!
Our tour guide was very knowledgable and added a lot of value to our experience of the Last Supper painting and building.
All visitors are only allowed a 15 minute window to view the Last Supper but, with a terrific guide like Giada, we got great value from the visit. Lively, entertaining and very informative.
I really enjoyed this tour. The best part was seeing the last supper. Our guide was very informative.
We went in the height of summer so it was very hot and at times we were in the sun for longer than I thought we would be. Also, we did cover more distance than I thought we were going to, this would not have been an issue but in those temperatures it did make the tour more challenging, especially for elderly people.
Great guide, meeting place was easy to find. The guide did her best to keep us in the shade. It was super hot but we still enjoyed it very much.
Turist trap for English speaking travelers. Overcharged for tour in English, as advertised. Unfortunately, the guide spent MOST of the tour time speaking Italian, favoring local travelers and providing few pieces of information in English, not much. She seemed bored and not engaging in tour. Microphones broken. The last 14 minutes seeing the actual painting was only one best part of the tour. It was not a tour in English as advertised and highly priced.
Guide was very informative but 600 EUROS for 45 minutes was crazy expensive. I thought there was more included in the tour, but no one could give us any information on what else we could see.
Very easy to follow instructions to meet up with the guide. Lockers available for free to stow away any water or purchases with you. Our guide did a phenomenal job of explaining where we were and when in history Leonardo would have been in Milano. The experience was fascinating. The time with the actual painting is quick, but you’re able to get so close and appreciate it fully. Thankful we did this experience while in Minalo!
Your guide was extremely knowledgeable on the Duomo and Last Supper, making the experience much better than just going yourself. Well worth the money.
We had trouble finding our tour guide but once he was located the tour was fantastic. Very informative and sensitive to older travelers who were hot!
Paid way too much for this. This is something we could have done on our own. Felt like we were taken advantage of with the price gouging.
The painting, the story, and the guide were outstanding. My only negative was the exorbitant cost of the tour…..due in large part to it being mid June vacation time ……trying to,buy tickets several weeks ahead, I found that the only option available this week was an 8:00 am at over $300 for the two of us. For a 45 minute experience. Only 15 minutes in front of the painting. I thought this was far too expensive. Please just buy the tickets far early and cancel, if allowed ..
