The Duomo and the Last Supper

About this experience

This is the tour people book when the official Last Supper site shows nothing but sold-out dates. City Wonders holds the reservation. You give every guest's full name at booking, because the museum issues named tickets, and the guide does the rest. The day starts with about 45 minutes inside the Duomo, then a walk of about 2.4 km through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Piazza della Scala and the Brera streets to Sforza Castle, and on to Santa Maria delle Grazie.

The Last Supper itself gets 15 minutes, the same for everyone: the museum lets in up to 40 people per slot. Your guide talks you through the painting first, so the quarter of an hour goes on looking. Some departures run the other way round, starting at Santa Maria delle Grazie and ending at the Duomo, so check which meeting point your time uses.

Two caveats. The rooftop is not included, and the listing says so plainly; book the terraces separately (the official Duomo Pass Lift is €26) or add the 1-hour rooftop tour on another day. And on Sundays and religious holidays the Duomo can't be visited inside, so you get the exterior and more of the city instead. Bought direct, the Last Supper costs €15 for adults and the Duomo with its museum €10. At $127 you're paying mostly for a slot that would otherwise be gone.

Tips before you book

• Type every guest's full name exactly as on their ID. The tickets are named, and a guest reports ID checks at the door.
• Store suitcases before you start. There's no luggage storage on the way and large bags are refused.
• Avoid Sundays if the Duomo interior matters to you.
• Cover shoulders and knees for both churches.
• Do the rooftop on a separate morning. It takes about an hour, and a combined official ticket is valid on your date and the next day.
