Our guide was enthusiastic and willing to share the importance of the “Last Supper” plus she skillfully showed us the other important sites. Obviously experienced, she made sure questions were answered, shepherded the group across busy streets and kept the group together as the tour progressed.

Really enjoyed this three-hour overview of the city – was a great value for the money. We saw the Last Supper as well as the Duomo (from the outside) and lots in between! Our tour guide was engaging and informative. Also appreciated the balance of guided and free time at the castle so we could enjoy the Da Vinci and Michelangelo museums.

Exactly what we needed the understand the Last Supper. Despite the cold weather, we spent a fantastic afternoon in Milan. The guide was fantastic, friendly and very enthusiastic. We received a lot of information about Milan’s history, but also pragmatic information about visiting Milan; points of interest, the transport….even where to shop!! Thanks a lot Donatella

At the booking I thought that this tour was too expensive. However once my daughter and I had experienced it, I have completely changed ideas as the explanation of the guide adds another dimension.

Last Supper well worth seeing! The tour gave us a much broader perspective of what Milan has to offer beyond being a design, financial and shopping hub. Great guide.

I have traveled the world and been on thousands of tours. Best. Guide. Ever. She made it!
Galina
The tour was an emotional exploration and excellent presentation of history and art.
Anna
The guide made my trip to Milan! Besides – seeing the Last Supper is worth every penny. During the Historical Tour you will discover details of the city which are hard to be found whilst sightseeing on your own. Highly recommended.

I booked this tour because it was impossible to get tickets to see the Last Supper and you have to rely on a tour company. I did not feel like I needed a guide to see the streets of Milan. However, the tour turned out to be very pleasant and informative. The guide, Valeria, was very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English and seeing the Last Supper with her was way better than without her. Also, the subsequent walking tour of some part of the historical center was pleasant and we did learn new things about the city. At the end of the day, my anger for tour companies had completely vanished.
Alexandra
Our guide was very knowledgeable, bringing history to life with a great sense of humour, putting historical events and art in a broader context. Made me appreciate Milan, when I never used to.
