I really hate having to take large bus tours and it's disappointing that you cannot see The Last Supper any other way. While I really enjoyed The Last Supper and the La Scala was a pleasant surprise, when you are pressed for time it's disappointing that you have to waste half a day doing a tour.

If you are booking this tour because you think the tour companies might have better access to these sites, then truly, truly, truly, dont bother. Arrived to find that 3 out of the 4 sites on offer was either unavailable or the queue too long. Highly disappointing and a rip off. Just to be clear, tour companies have no greater access rights than as an individual Traveller. I didnt bother to even complain because my time in Milan was too short and I didnt want the angst of a fight. Plus the Italians are not known for customer service. Really, dont book unless the only thing you want to see is the last supper and tours are the only way. By the way, I thought The Last Supper was great but not worth the effectively 70 I paid to see it. Of Cotes, if you managed to see all the sites, then you should buy a lottery ticket.

We were disappointed that as soon as we got on the bus the guide informed us that we might not get into the Duomo, due to crowds. When we got there the line looked fairly short, likely due to rain, but she stood some distance in front of it and in the pouring rain imparted some history and facts to us for 10 minutes BEFORE asking the attendants, as she had earlier promised to do, how long before we could get inside. They told her 20 minutes but she said it would be half an hour at least and of course, everyone by this time was quite wet. She then proceeded to walk us all around the outside of the Duomo and tell us the history for approximately 20 minutes, in particular pointing out the beautiful stained glass windows which looked black from the outside. To be fair, this tour does not_br/_ explicitly promise we will get inside the Duomo, a major site in Milan and indeed in Italy, something we were really looking forward to, but it was very evident that the tour guide had no intention of us getting inside. She handed out entrance tickets to us and told us we could stay and see the Duomo or go on to see La Scala but not both. Had she taken us to the line when we got off the bus and imparted her information while we waited to get in, we would have been much happier with this tour. Even had she told us we only had a limited time inside if we were to see the rest of the tour highlights, we could have lived with that and seen SOMETHING of the inside. As it turned out, it was in fact, misleading and disappointing.

I gave this tour a 1 star rating because we were only able to get into the Last Supper. Upon entering the bus, the tour guide stated that the there was a strike at the La Scala Opera House and that they were substituting the Michael Angelo Sculpture at the Castle in its place. We returned to the bus and drove to the Duomo. The tour guide walked us to the Duomo priority line only to turn around because the wait was to long. We then proceeded to walk to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle where our guide provided us with information. We then headed to the La Scala Opera House. The Opera House was closed due to the fact that they were setting up for an event, not a strike. On the bus we were handed the general admission ticket to the Duomo to be used at a later date. I felt that this tour was over priced for what you received. The only positive part of the tour was the Last Supper to which we paid a high price. On all prior tours, we were offered a survey feedback form to rate the tour, however no survey feedback form was offered.

Almost the only way to see da Vinci's Last Supper in person is to buy a tour ticket. Though this includes a Duomo cheap ticket no terrace or archaeological access and a La Scala tour, there is very little added value. A large part of the time was waiting to see if the line in the fast entry was short enough to give us time to enter Duomo. They weren't and we back-tracked to the Galleria. After visit to La Scalla nothing added beyond reading signs, a long time-consuming drive past buildings of some notoriety, arrived at S. Maria d. Grazie for the painting. You have to really want to see that painting!

The tour was not what we expected. Much of the time was wasted at the start of the tour, where we thought we would be able to go into the cathedral and skip the line, but the tour guide told us that this would delay us getting to the last supper. This was during the pouring rain! We then toured the outside of the cathedral whereby my battery operated speaker/headphone crashed. Not that this mattered as the information was already on the boards in English. The guide was also mainly speaking German and did not really interact well with us all. We were then given the cathedral, tickets and advised to return. We then continued to the Galleria but this was brief. The visit to to Last supper was amazing and was a small affair and one of the highlights of the trip. I would advise that this is the first part of the trip and the rest of the tour be later. Much of the time was wasted in traffic and walking around city monuments that I would have done without paying 60 for. The main attraction of the last supper was amazing and so I dont feel too terrible. We returned to the cathedral where we waited in line albeit the short queue for approximately 40mins, be warned that this is a long affair and security is tight. Once inside it was a sight to behold! I would not recommend this tour unless you just wanted to see the Last supper. The rest you can do yourselves.

It was all worth it to see the painting! Had already seen the cathedral inside - the tour did not make it clear that we were entering inside.

Awesome tour. Went inside the duomo, not the rooftop, the opera house, and seen the Last Supper. Liked the fact that some of the tour was on a bus. Great tour guide. Worth the money!

The guide was extremely knowledgeable and added a lot to the experience. I would highly recommend skipping the lines and having someone to give you the history and details behind what you are seeing.

Viewing the Last Supper was amazing and LaScalla Opera House was beautiful. Very disappointed that our group did not get into the Cathedral because of a communication error with the Tourist Center. We did walk around and learned about the Cathedral.

Tour guide was excellent and very informative. The bus driver did a great job driving around very busy and narrow streets.

Great tour of the city highlights. Well worth the tour rather than trying to get tickets individually.
