Very interesting, you should have seen it. Our guide was also able to convey a lot beyond that.
We were lucky to have a guide of rare erudition to discover The Last Supper in the refectory of Santa Maria Delle Grazie. His dual expertise, both artistic and religious, enriched every second spent in front of the fresco. He explained to us with passion Leonardo's revolutionary painting techniques as well as the theological mysteries hidden in the composition. He had started the visit with the history and symbols of the Santa Maria Delle Grazie church, thus allowing us to understand the spiritual context in which the convent is inscribed. A true moment of pure emotion!
Tour was very well done. Our tour guide was friendly and ultra knowledgeable.
Wow, great service, excellent communication through out the whole process. I highly recommend
The tour guide was fine. Everything else is way over rated. Not worth what we paid. I do not recommend. The painting has deteriorated so much. Little of the original remains. And if you are really into art, you only get 15 minutes in with it. Go on a food tour or go shopping instead.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased that you found the guide professional, although we are sorry that the overall experience did not meet your expectations. Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper is more than 500 years old, and its delicate condition is the result of the experimental technique used by the artist, as well as centuries of natural deterioration and restoration. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control, but we are sorry that you were unable to appreciate the extraordinary historical and artistic value of this iconic masterpiece. Regarding the viewing time, the 15-minute limit is an official museum policy applied to all visitors. It is necessary to regulate access and preserve the carefully controlled environment inside the room, including temperature and humidity, which helps protect the artwork for future generations. We sincerely regret that the experience was not what you had hoped for, and we hope you may still consider discovering another side of Italy with us in the future, perhaps through one of our authentic food tours or cooking classes. Kindest regards, Towns of Italy Team
