Doing what: Milan Half-Day Sightseeing Tour with da Vinci's 'The Last Supper'
We caught the train into Milan and made our way on the Underground to the Duomo. We wandered round the sqaure and then the Victor Emmanuel Shopping Centre and then out the other side and saw La Scala. We then made our way to the start of the tour. Unfortuantely that meant (and we didn't know) that we had unwittingly seen the first half of the tour. Anyway - La Scala was OK - Duomo was OK etc. However it was well worthwhile for the Last Supper. The trip is worth it - you miss all the queues - the guide is excellent and passionate about the city/art/Italy and very thorough. It was difficult to muster 50 people to be in the right place at the right time for the Last Supper. Certainly a value for money trip and we would have no hesitation in reccommending. However, if you have the choice go to Rome, Florence and Venice before Milan.

I was so disappointed in this tour after reading hundreds of GREAT reviews! We got lumped together in an English/ German tour so half the tour was spoken in German so we only got half the information and had to listen to German for the other hour and a half. The headsets cut in and out if you got too far which was eachy in a group of 80 people! All of the sights are concentrated in one spot so it would have been easy to hit La Scala, the duomo and galleria on our own. The time allowed for each place was very disproportinate to what you would actually want to see: 45 mins at La Scala and only 10 at the Duomo! We had to race through it, the guide said she would give us info on the duomo once on the bus to avoid standing in the sun and instead just said "it's too complicated" and that was it! Such a waste. Avoid this tour and just book tickets to The Last Supper well in advance if you want to see it. Wouldn't reccomend this to anyone, don't even remember any information given.

Wonderful and incredible sights of Milan. The Last Supper is like looking into a dream and the Duomo is really something else indeed. See it!

What a wonderful half day sightseeing tour of Milan. The Duomo was something special to see. La Scala was a bit disappointing from the outside but inside it was super. Seeing the Last Supper was the icing on the cake. Lots of lovely memories to bring home with us. Thank you for prebooking our tour. Margaret Mary Coton and Tom Coton.

Since we only had a short time in Milan, we booked this tour just to see everything we wanted as quickly as possible and it worked very well. The Duomo was not covered as a guided tour per se, but after detailed information we were led to the area and then went inside on our own, which did not bother us as the inside was spectacular and it was nice not to hear alot of "tourist noise". The Scala Opera and Last Supper we could never have done on our own in the limited time we had, so it was well worth the expense. Nice job.

Excellent tour! Loved our tour guide and the bus driver was great also, great sense of humor, they made the day very special. Really like when you have the natives from each city doing the tours, they have so much inside information. "The Last Supper" was breathtaking as was the Duomo. Highly recommend!

We had only 1 day to see the highlights of Milan and this tour covered them all. The bus was comfortable, Las Scala was amazing, the Duomo spectacular, and the Last Supper undescribable. The tourguide was easy to understand, yet so passionate about her city and its gifts, that you felt blessed to be in Milan with her. Terrific bargain, especially is you want to be one of the 1200 people to see the Last Supper every day. We could not have done it without Viator. Thanks!

So, I could have sworn that this was advertised as a walking tour - but it's definitely not. I gave the tour three stars, but only for seeing The Last Supper. Withouth that, this tour would have been terrible. First we boarded a HUGE bus and drove straight to the church to see The Last Supper. It's amazing and moving, and everyone should see it. Our group was so large (about 50 people), so we had to break into multiple groups to go into see the painting - and you only get 15 minutes inside (they are very strict about this time limit). The tour was advertised in English, which it was, but it was also in Portugese. It's not a huge deal, but you waste a lot of time translating everything into two languages. After the church, you board the bus again - and head over to the the opera house and the Duomo area. Both are beautiful, but we really didn't learn any information about the area. You get 20 minutes of free time to go in the church on your own. We had already done this ourselves, so it was 20 minutes of hanging around. Then we headed to the castle - well, we walked to the courtyard of the castle - which you can do on your own too for free. Overall, I was highly disappointed with the sightseeing portion of the tour. First of all, from a bus, you really can't see a whole lot. Second, with the translation, we didn't have time to hear/learn a whole lot. And finally, if you can, go to The Last Supper on your own - and find a walking tour of the city.

Our guide was very good. Would have liked to spend more time at the Duomo, but all four sites were good.
The detail and understanding of the content of the Last Supper was very good. Understand that it is not the policy of the this organization that sets the time limits, but would have liked to have stayed to view the Last Supper for an additional 5 minutes

Challenging tour due to the bike race in the city center. Our guide had a difficult time getting us to the Duomo with all the crowds and blocked streets. She did her best - thanks for not giving up. Beautiful sight to see at the end with da Vinci's 'The Last Supper'.

The start of the tour departs from the agency’s location. It is very easy to find and near a subway stop. The tour consists of touring the Opera House and museum, the Duomo, a castle and lastly the “Last Supper”. The tour takes too much time in the Opera House and not nearly enough of the Duomo. Also, the tour guide stated that she was not able to give an inside tour of the building. Apperantly some rules have changed since the first time I took this same tour. Considered the most spectacular church in Italy, yet they only gave us 15 minutes to walk through. The castle was just another castle and seeing the Last Supper is a must (hard to believe they wanted a bigger door to the kitchen). In the end, they need to give more time to the Duomo and less time to the Opera House.

The Duomo and the inside of the Scala theater were my highlights. Tour was longer than expected-- about 4 hours. Didn't enjoy the castle because there really wasn't much to see; it was under construction.

It was okay. I have now discovered that I prefer the walking tours but if you like staying on a bus for a long period of time then it's good and it takes you to all of the main tourist attractions...but in all honesty...the only thing in Milan worth seeing is the Duomo, and you can see this yourself by taking the metro which is super easy.

25 minutes late Duomo bound and 15 minutes late on return. Guide and driver weren't familiar with schedule: when asked what time did the last bus leave Duomo, they both said it was 4:30. It was actually 5:45 and they were both on that bus!

Overall the trip was ok.
First off it was 9;25 am and we called the tour group for directions. It turned out we were on the round about right in front of their office. The girl would only say park and call a taxi. We did park and walked to the office and we were then 10 minutes late. The tour had already left. She sent us to the Duomo to meet the group at 10:50 am. The bus was there, but the group had already toured the Duomo. If she would have given us the option to meet earlier we would have done so and seen the Duomo with the group. We did get to see the castle and the Last Supper, but for what we paid the tour and service from the office were poor. Don't think I would recommend this to a friend.
