Milan Art Tour: Da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' and the Church of San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore

Exactly what we wanted - to see the Last Supper with a knowledgeable guide to help us appreciate the work itself, but also it's history. Tour was perfect amount of time.”

I loved it. You get to see places That you can’t get to without the guidance, the high light was the last supper”

Informative and interesting tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. Easy leisurely walk with a few away from the "regular" tourist areas which I really appreciated. We booked our tour for the last day in Milan and I wish we had booked at the beginning of our vacation because our tour guide gave many great suggestions for other points of interest.”

San Maurizio is on par, if not better than The Sistine Chapel in The Vatican! The Frescoes are OUTSTANDING! Bernardino Luini and his sons have executed the Biblical subjects and saints with artistic perfection. Our guide, Christine was prompt and she has extensive knowledge of her subject. She was very informative. Her English is clear. Santa Maria San Satiro Church which contains Bramante's Tromp l'oeil apse is included in this tour and is also impressive. My wife was SO Impressed that we returned a second time on our own just to absorb the overall Grand Splendor of San Maurizio. Volunteers were on site to help with any questions. We also went to the attached Museum, there is a separate fee (3 E) but to understand the history of Milan it is well worth the visit. We saw The Last Supper with Christine, she was again very knowledgeable and answered many questions. This is my wife's favorite place in Milan.”

I almost expected the Last Supper to be a disappointment, since the image is so over-used and the painting has deteriorated. I was surprised to find the real thing so powerful and moving. Our guide, was very informed and prepared us for our 15 minute visit and helped us understand the painting in its context. The second church, San Maurizio, was also delicious, with magnificent frescoes, a fascinating history, and a physical location in the walls of the Roman circus. Last was Santa Maria presto San Satiro with Brunelleschi’s extraordinary architecture. I won’t spoil the surprise, but it is a wonderful church that we would have walked right by and missed. In all cases, Laura was enthusiastic in sharing her understanding, pointing out the details, and explaining. A delightful morning!”

We were warmly welcomed by Alex who introduced us to our guide Lara. She was very knowledgeable and personable and was eager to share her pride in all of the venues. It was a great experience!”

Fabulous tour well worth the time and money, our guide i think her name is Chara, was informative amusing and caring for the people on her tour”

No one visiting Milan should miss this tour. The Last Supper is much easier to view with the guide and the two additional churches were astounding. A fair amount of walking so wear your comfy shoes. The tour ends near the Duomo so very convenient to the Hop On bus stop. Lots of good eateries in the area if you're hungry after the walk.”
