Milan Last Supper and S. Maria delle Grazie Skip the Line Tour
Description
If you intend to visit Milan, a must is undoubtedly Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper. The great work of the Tuscan genius, preserved in the refectory next to the Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie, is one of the most studied and imitated masterpieces in the world, but also one of the most mysterious and discussed. Follow us on this guided tour, discovering the history and secrets behind the Last Supper and the splendid Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie. During our guided tour of the Upper Room you will understand how every stroke, every detail, every brushstroke, every expression and gesture of the figures represented tells those “motions of the soul” of which Leonardo became the first inventor. And the Last Supper is sublimated from perfect painting to emotional narration.

Great tour. The guide's microphone wasn't working correctly but noone wanted to tell her except me! Kind of curious as to how the guides can get so many tickets and charge 5 times the cost of the entrance fee. Most of the people in our group didn't even care what the guide was saying.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, personable, and sense of humor- Sara was great. If there was a shorter tour available I would have chosen since only 15 min in the actual room with Last Supper.
Tour was great. You only get about 15 minutes to look at the painting but you are prepared before you enter from your guide.
The experience was great! At first we were disappointed bc all the local tickets were sold out (Viator and Expedia pre-purchase the tickets and sell for triple the price) but we were glad we went ahead and booked the trip because others on site were refused as no tickets were available. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and met us at the free green water fountain as listed. On the day of our visit (4 hours before) we were emailed the “dress code” which we had to go back to the hotel and change out of tank tops and shorts. Upon arrival, multiple people had on shorts and tanks-one girl hadn’t packed anything else. It would have been nice to have been told this much earlier; however, everyone was allowed in no matter what they had on. No liquids are allowed but they do have lockers for small bags. Compared to the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper was spectacular-a huge wall fresco. Overall it was a great tour experience lasting less than 1.5 hours.
Excellent guide Sara who skilfully enhanced the magical experience of viewing Da Vinci’s Last Supper. A wonderful experience.
This was an extraordinary experience. Just four guests in our group and the guide, Sara, was wonderful. She was passionate and full of information, presenting in a fun and engaging way. She is one of the best guides I have ever gotten to enjoy!
A very good tour, excellent with a font of information. Took his time to explain everything very well.And was an absolute pleasure, felt very appreciative if all the culture
Davide was a wonderful guide. Great explanation and knowledge. A definite must do! Great experience.
I booked a last minute trip to Milan and of course the tickets to the last supper were sold out. I signed up for this tour, just thinking it was a tourist tax since it was so much more than just getting the tickets from official source. But, I was pleasantly surprised by our tour guide Simone. He was really knowledgeable about history and meaning of not only the last supper, but Leonardo, the building itself and the other artwork in the building. I honestly was shocked, because I wasn’t expecting the insights he shared on the restoration, body language, survival of the mural, etc. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are in the same situation I was and Simone was available
This was a great experience. China, our guide, was exceptional. Her love of Milan and of The Last Supper were evident. She even went above a d beyond by giving us great restaurant recommendations at the end off the tour.
