Unveil the Masterpiece: Guided Tour of Da Vinci's Last Supper

My husband and I were visiting the Last Supper for the first time on Saturday, September 5, 2026. We met with a large group of tourists and our guide, Serena, outside the entrance at 3pm (15:00 in Italy). And Serena began talking about the architecture of the buildings as well as the benefactor of Leonardo DaVinci, Ludovico Sforza, and all the history leading up to the painting. 30 minutes passed so quickly while she shared so many stories and details and everyone was very quietly listening. We entered into the refectory to see the Last Supper and it felt so otherworldly as Serena continued with the details of the mural style of painting done here and the beauty of the colors, the design of the faces and body positions and the depth perception from standing a bit further away. Plus, the comparison with the other al fresco painting done by Da Vinci’s friend, Da Montorfano. Serena had great explanations, so much information to share and a great pace…not too fast, not too slow. Incredible guide beyond any expectation. Plus, she answered extra questions we had at the end. Grazie mille Serena!

Our guide was wonderful. I knew what I thought to be a lot about the Last Supper but learned so much more as well as I appreciated the passion and emotion that our guide offered

Tried to buy tickets from church but always sold out. If I wanted to see it, and I did, had to book a tour. My only chance in life to see it and of course it was worth it.

Guide was knowledgeable and answered any questions the group had. Guided us through the actual last supper itself plus also provided a background on Da Vinci and the lead up to painting the last supper

The centerpiece of the tour—seeing “The Last Supper” in person and listening to the guide’s narrative—was great. But great enough to overcome the aggravation of the meet-up? And the considerable expense? I’m doubtful. TripAdvisor and the vendor (apparently “Ways”) gave minimal information about meeting. The apparent “ticket” that was sent and uploaded to my AppleWallet, we learned, isn’t a ticket; it’s a sort of voucher that the guide replaces with an actual ticket. (Lacking any instructions about the meetup, and with the time having arrived, we attempted entrance and were brusquely turned away, with no suggestion of how to find our group. We speak Italian pretty well, so language barrier wasn’t the problem.) A hectic and random search through the many clumps of people waiting in the piazza in front of the church ensued. The venue staff provided little guidance. The search eventually yielded our group & guide. Turns out, we were supposed to be drawn to a bicycle in the piazza with a small sign “Last Supper Tour.” TripAdvisor and Ways were not mentioned, nor the time of the tour. Ummm, there are literally DOZENS of Last Supper tours! No wonder that many on the tour never connected. (The guide seemingly considered this normal, and one thing the TripAdvisor was very very clear about: No Refunds. If you miss your tour, that’s 100% on you.) It’s unclear to me whether any other guides/tour groups do better. The piazza was chaotic, with often-angry people searching. My advice is to expect aggravation, and to be relentless about searching for your group/guide. Ask anyone & everyone.

Seeing the Last Supper gives you chills. It is very difficult to get tickets on your own, so doing a tour like this is the way to go. Our guide provided a 40 min education on the Last Supper which was fantastic. You only get 15 minutes in the room with the Last Supper and they are very strict with this, but there is not alot of people in the room with you and it is a very large space. Highly recommend doing this tour to see the Last Supper.

Do not miss this if you're anywhere near Milan. It's very easy to fit in a day - it's only an hour including the viewing. They let 40 people in to view the stunning fresco for 15 minutes so you have time and space to enjoy and appreciate it, unlike many other popular works at other museums. The 45 minute preamble is incredibly informative touching on Da Vinci's life, personality, the building itself, the way the work was treated over time, when it became so celebrated, and who restored it and how. The speaker was kind and thorough and expert. The viewing alone is worth the expense but going in to see this stunning and important piece with a lecture on the man and the work immediately before was illuminating. It will be an experience I'll never forget.

Great, life long experience.Admission fee could be less. 1 hour total length of visit., Very good guide

Its pretty impressive, just understand you only get 15 minutes with the painting. Still worth seeing. Our guide did a nice job.

This was a great tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and added lots of humor. The Last Supper viewing is a must in Milan and I recommend this tour company. 5 stars.
