Milan Semi-Private Walking Tour With Last Supper & Duomo | Max 6 People Group

Itinerary

Your small group walking tour of Milan begins here, at the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, home of one the world's most famous paintings: Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. Enjoy privileged and exclusive access to this internationally renowned site, and admire the immense beauty of the Last Supper with a handful of tourists in the room.

Continue onto San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, and admire its spectacular 16th century frescoes across the ceiling and walls. Hear the life and death of Santa Caterina, whose stories inspired one of the chapels within the church and its Luini frescoes. This church is often referred to as the Sistine Chapel of the north of Italy and a must see for art lovers.

Refuel for the second half of your walking tour with a wonderful coffee at one of Milan's most historic pasticcerie (aka, bakery), and experience one of the most delicious espresso you will ever have!

Now that you got your coffee fix, continue onto Piazza degli Affari, the financial district of Milan. This is the economic pulse of the city and of the country, giving Milan its eclectic mix of fashion, finance and folklore. Learn of its beginnings in 1808 and even further into the past – during Emperor Augustus’ reign and get catapulted back into the present with Maurizio Cattelan’s controversial public sculpture called L.O.V.E. and also known to the Milanese as ‘Il Dito‘ (the middle finger).

Your tour will continue through the bustling streets of Milan and over to yet another visual pleasure, San Satiro, designed by the same man who designed St Peter’s Basilica in Rome – Bramante. You will be amazed by his incredible use and creation of perspective throughout San Satiro, techniques that were completely innovative at the time.

Your walking tour will culminate at Milan's most famous piazza and Basilica: the Duomo! A perfect example of Italian Gothic architecture, built under Archbishop Antonio da Saluzzo, the Duomo took nearly 600 years to finish (!) and remains the current seat for the Archbishop of Milan. The area marks the heart of the city center of Milan and of what what once known as Roman Mediolanum during the Roman Empire. Admire the Basilica from the majestic Piazza del Duomo as your guide explains all the wonder of the most famous church and piazza of Milan. Entrance to the Basilica is not included.
