Amazing Tour Guide - Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable especially in regards to The Last Supper. The group was a little larger than I would prefer and a suggestion should be made against taking “selfies” with the work as the background.

Last Supper and Chiesa di San Maurizio are amazing - We had difficulty finding the guide at the start (as well as others). The directions stated to meet at the museum entrance where the flags are, unfortunately there was another group meeting there at the same time (people that purchased their Last Supper tickets directly from the museum website). We got mixed up with this group and told to exchange our vouchers first at the ticket office. The ticket office directed us to another group altogether. We finally met the right group (in front of the church entrance not the museum).
The guide, Valentina, was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English. Obviously the Last Supper was amazing, but after this we went to a church "Chiesa di San Maurizio", also nicknamed the Sistine Chapel of Milan and this church was so beautiful and interesting !. Very much recommended.

A Great Learning Experience - The tour was well organized. Our guide provided us with many fascinating facts about The Last Supper. Additionally she did a great job in telling us about the Sforza family’s influence on the cultural of Milan as we navigated to the church of St Mauricio and the Sforzesco .

A must-do on your trip to Milan - I wasn't about to go halfway across the world to Milano and not see The Last Supper in person, so I booked this.
It was well worth the visit. Like everything else in Italy, it seems a little poorly organized when you first get there, with lots of people milling around the small piazza trying to figure out where they are supposed to be, but once you find the right guy, it works out fine.
The guide was fantastic; much better than most guided tours I have taken. She was very knowledgeable, and her English was very good, and easy to understand.
The painting is fantastic, and on the back wall there is another great work of art, as well.
Good thing I brought my passport with me, because it was required for entry. I'm not sure that was made clear.

Good tour, but way too many people on the tour. - Nice history of Milan and timing of entry to Last Supper was good. Should have been notified in advance that you needed an id and that you could not have food or drink in your bag. Guide was knowledgeable and did a good job herding the large group. My major complaint is the size of the group was too large: 29 people.
