Well worth it if you can afford it. Guide provided a lot of interesting information about the painting and the church, and made sure we were first into the room ahead of the group that was with us. You are allowed 15 minutes inside and the time passed quickly with all she had to say about it. I especially liked her insight into the way to recognize the original parts and the restoration.

This was a private tour. The early wake up was worth the effort especially since we were the first ones in the room with the Last Supper. It was an easy meeting point, exactly as described and our guide, Deborah, was knowledgeable, easy to understand, informative and gracious. Incredibly well worth it.

Our guide Laura was outstanding. She was extremely knowledgeable and easy to understand. We learned so much about The Last Supper, its meaning and history of restoration. Laura gave us tips on other sights to see and a lovely old world pastry shop Marchesi to visit. We also appreciated going early in the morning before the crowds

Gianluca was fabulous- very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. He was able to share minute details in a beautiful storytelling manner that had me in a spell from beginning to end. A painting of the Last Supper hung in my mother’s kitchen growing up, so it was very special for me to understand so many facts about how it came about, it’s history and careful restoration- the reason I came to Milan and thanks to Gianluca- an absolute highlight. Grazie Gianluca- you are a gifted guide ♥️♥️
