Tour was really informative and included sforza castle and museum tickets too ( which you can visit by yourself after the tour). Last supper was experience was amazing.
This was a very moving experience, religious or not. It takes a bit of time to reach the supper but the church is beautiful and the architecture is impressive. Once you reach the last supper, be sure to take quick pics. You only have 15 minutes and it's best to sit and take it in.
Absolutely worth every penny and moment of your attention! Especially, if you enjoy learning, art history, and/or appreciate reminders of what humans are capable of. We started at the Sforza Castle, then worked our way to Santa Maria della Grazie. The walk is not far, but if it’s hot, you’ll want water & snacks. Our guide (Adrianna with Audiostradale) was incredible—highly knowledgeable, thorough, interesting, and kind. I would take this same tour again!
Knowledgable and funny tour guide. The experience included a 3 hour tour of Da Vinci's "Last Supper" (15 minutes), Michelangelo's "Pieta" and Castelo Sforzesco. Plenty of time for photos and questions. Worthwhile for any fan of Renaissance art.
Very knowledgeable and fun guide. Tour was done at the perfect pace to take in information but also not feeling rushed and over-stuffed. Fabulous!
Our guide, David, was excellent! He provided historical information that made the tour more interesting and allowed us to appreciate The Last Supper and other stops at a higher level. He also guided us to interesting areas to visit after the tour, plus gave us recommendations of restaurants and cafes to visit around La Scala Theater. This tour was a lot more than we expected and we highly recommend it!

Amazing experience. Such a great tour! I would definitely recommend doing this. Lots of interesting things that you would never know on your own.
It is a fantastic tour with very knowledgeable guaid thus recommended if you are on a short visit to Milan.
Visiting da Vinci's The Last Supper is, for me, a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide spoke confidently about the style and method used by the artist. An unexpected surprise was viewing Michaelangelo's unfinished final work.
Our guide was passionate and shared so much information. Absolutely excellent tour. I would highly recommend it.
