Highlights
  • Santa Maria delle Grazie - Meet our Guide at Piazza Santa Maria delle Grazie
    Kickstart your half-day Milan discovery by meeting our guide in front of the Santa Maria delle Grazie church.

  • Il Cenacolo - Marvel at Da Vinci’s Last Supper

What sets da Vinci’s famous mural apart is that it’s not displayed in a museum among other masterpieces. Instead, it is directly painted onto the wall of the humble Santa Maria delle Grazie church. This creates a unique atmosphere, as the painting is housed in a sacred and private space. Consequently, the experience becomes even more memorable and exclusive, as only a limited number of tourists are granted access each day. This exclusivity is crucial for preserving the delicate art.

Another significant advantage is having an expert guide who can highlight the key elements of the masterpiece and share the folklore, myths, secrets, and facts that surround the Last Supper. This guidance is essential since each group is allowed only 15 minutes in front of the painting, and the room can accommodate less than 30 people at a time. With a few helpful pointers, you can ensure that you don’t miss any details about one of the world’s most famous artworks.

  • Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II - Admire the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II Mall

Leaving the Santa Maria delle Grazie, your guide will lead you towards the city center to witness the splendor of one of the globe’s most historic and lavish shopping arcades: the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Prepare to be enchanted as you encounter renowned establishments such as Gucci, Versace, Prada, and other prestigious brands within a structure that exudes the grandeur of a baroque palace rather than a typical mall. Welcome to the fashion epicenter of Milan, where your eyes will be dazzled by the opulence that surrounds you!

  • Castello Sforzesco - Pass by Sforza Castle (exterior only)

The exterior of Sforza Castle is truly captivating, offering a delightful experience for visitors. The castle’s architecture showcases a harmonious blend of different styles, making it a visual delight. From the imposing medieval fortress walls to the elegant Renaissance courtyards, the exterior of Sforza Castle presents a remarkable journey through time.

The castle is surrounded by a picturesque park, providing a serene and scenic environment. The expansive grounds offer opportunities for leisurely walks, picnics, and exploration. You can admire the castle from various angles, appreciating its impressive scale and architectural details.

  • Teatro Alla Scala - Pass by La Scala Theatre (outside only)

The architectural grandeur of La Scala is awe-inspiring. From its majestic exterior adorned with neoclassical columns and statues to its lavish interiors featuring ornate decorations, intricate frescoes, and luxurious velvet seats, every detail exudes opulence and elegance.

Although we only visit La Scala from the outside, our guide will be happy to share some fun facts on this impressive theatre.

  • Duomo di Milano - Visit Milan’s Duomo
    The renowned Duomo in Milan stands as one of the largest cathedrals globally and holds the distinction of being Italy’s largest. With its vast array of captivating sights, skipping the line allows you to maximize your time exploring rather than waiting. The cathedral is a treasure trove of historic artworks, breathtaking architectural marvels, ancient crypts, and an intriguing archaeological area waiting to be discovered.

Lovely tour - A great tour of Milan hitting all of the major sites. The tour guide was wonderful and gave details and stories. This is a walking tour with about 4-5 miles in total. My husband was lagging behind a bit. The tour guide made sure to check in on us and not lose us in the crowds. I highly recommend to make sure you get a grounding of the city and it's history.

Great tour with a lot of walking - This is a very good tour - but be prepared for A LOT of walking - I'm going to guess about 3 miles or so. It was a hot day and only about half the group actually made it to the Duomo. Our tour guide was very good... was a great way to see the last supper.
