Tour Itinerary

1

Your tour begins at Piazza di Santa Maria delle Grazie
Meet your guide just outside the entrance to The Last Supper. You’ll get a quick intro to the Gothic-Renaissance church and what your half-day adventure covers.
2

Santa Maria delle Grazie convent
Step inside the convent and feel the shift from city buzz to quiet cloisters. Your guide walks you through how this place grew from a simple Dominican site into a UNESCO treasure. The frescoed corridors and soft light make it easy to picture the monks who once lived here.
3

Last Supper
Then it’s time for the main event. You’ll enter the refectory in small groups, where the room falls into a hush as everyone faces da Vinci’s mural. Your guide highlights the expressions, symbolism, and small details you might miss, helping your short viewing feel surprisingly rich.
4

Milan walking tour
Leaving the quiet convent behind, you’ll stroll toward the massive red-brick walls of Sforza Castle. Once a powerful fortress for ruling dukes, it now houses some of Milan’s most important museums. After viewing the striking exterior, your guide leads you into the charming Brera district for a closer look at the artisan side of Milan.
5

La Scala Opera House and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
Next, you’ll pause outside the legendary La Scala Opera House. Listen as your guide reveals fascinating anecdotes about the famous performers and dramatic premieres that have graced its historic stage. Just steps away, you’ll enter the breathtaking Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Italy’s most glamorous shopping arcade.
6

Milan Duomo
Thanks to your skip-the-line access, you can head straight inside this colossal cathedral. Once beneath the soaring central nave, the incredible stained glass windows will light up the historic artworks and architecture. Your guide will keep you enthralled with stories of the cathedral’s complex 600-year construction and the historic figures who once walked these floors.
7

Your tour finishes at Piazza Duomo
The guided portion ends outside the cathedral. Stay to explore more of Milan, revisit favorite spots, or ask your guide for tips on where to eat, shop, or wander next.

Excellent Guide JOSE !!!

Aureo C., 30 October 2025

We were very lucky getting JOSE as our guide for this tour (half day tour with Last Super and the Duomo in Milan). He’s EXCELLENT, Very Much like a History Professor. The tour is about 3 hours and he spoke for the whole time bringing at every minute new and interesting information. If anyone is considering this tour with “The Tour Guy” do a favor to yourself and request to be included on a group conducted by JOSE. He’s English is perfect and with a small and charming Italian accent. Couldn’t be better !!!

Michael L., 19 October 2025

I have used this company for many tours and will in the future. Our tour yesterday started ok with a viewing of the Last Supper . The tour through Milan ending in the Duomo was suboptimal . Our guide was nice and knowledgeable but it was difficult to understand him.

Great experience

Brett P., 18 October 2025

Must see experience in Italy and very informative guide.
