Veditalia · Central Milan
A Veditalia guide walks you through central Milan for six hours: the Duomo interior, the frescoed church of San Maurizio, Sforza Castle and Sempione Park, with reserved entry to the Last Supper. Book it if the mural is non-negotiable and you'd like the rest of the city explained on the way.
The day starts at Piazza Cadorna, next to Bar Marinoni, by Cadorna station. From there a group of 20 at most covers the Duomo with about an hour inside, the Galleria, Sforza Castle, Sempione Park and San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, whose walls are covered in frescoes by Bernardino Luini and his circle; Milan calls it its Sistine Chapel. The listing also mentions Bramante's false-perspective choir at Santa Maria presso San Satiro. The order depends on your Last Supper slot, and one guest liked finishing at the Duomo with time to roam.
After a lunch break of about an hour, which you pay for, comes Santa Maria delle Grazie and 15 minutes in front of Leonardo's mural. Every guest's full name goes on the booking, and you need an ID card or passport at the door: the museum sells named tickets to stop scalping.
It doesn't include the rooftop. Book the terraces for another morning, either with the official €26 Duomo Pass Lift or on the 1-hour rooftop tour. On price, $113 is less than the 3-hour City Wonders tour and covers more, at the cost of a full day on your feet. Bought direct, the Last Supper costs €15, but the official slots go weeks or months ahead, which is why this tour has 1,775 reviews.
Next to Bar Marinoni. Miss the start and there's no refund.

★★★★★Guide Christina knew the city and its history so well! It was like being hosted by a good friend. 6 hours of beauty, history, and fun.
★★★★★Great way to see Milan’s major sites in a day- Sforzesco Castle and fountain, Chiesa di San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore- the Sistine Chapel of Milan, Duomo, and the highlight of our tour- the last supper. [...] Lots of walking but gave us a coffee/snack break and a lunch (pay your own).
★★★★★Wonderful overview of Milan sites with our knowledgeable guide Corinna.. Seems difficult to get ticket on your own to see the last supper so we booked to have that experience, glad we did. Break for lunch and good pace through the tour.
★★★★★You can tour this yourself through its dedicate website, but you have to schedule it months ahead and they sell out very quickly. [...] A word of note, the Duomo visit does not include the terraces and rooftop.

No. There's a break of about an hour to buy your own lunch, and guests mention a coffee stop too.
Every guest's full name at booking and an ID card or passport on the day. The museum sells named tickets and allows 15 minutes per visit.
It covers more (San Maurizio, Sempione Park and a longer Duomo visit) for less money, $113 against $127. The 3-hour tour suits you better if you want the afternoon free. Our Duomo and Last Supper guide compares the options.
