Six Milan Last Supper tours, reviewed and ranked
All six of these tours include exactly the same thing: a booked slot in front of the same wall, fifteen minutes long, shared with up to forty other people. So I am not reviewing the painting on these pages and I am not reviewing the access, because on those two counts the six listings are identical. I am reviewing the guide, the walk wrapped around the quarter of an hour, and the price. Before any of it, try the official route: the state ticket is currently €15 on Vivaticket with no booking fee, reservation compulsory, released quarterly and gone almost immediately after each release. Come back here when the window is shut.
The six, in the order I would book them
Milan: Last Supper Skip-the-Line Entry Ticket & Guided Tour
One hour, one job, and the only listing here whose inclusions name the convent and the garden as well as the refectory. Cheapest and joint highest rated, which is a combination you rarely see.

Milan: Guided Walking Tour & Last Supper Visit with Ticket
The flagship, and the only one whose score rests on more people than the other five carry between them. Three hours of central Milan wrapped around the fifteen minutes.

Milan: Da Vinci’s Last Supper and Guided Walking Tour
The flagship’s shape for less money and a marginally higher score, on a fraction of the evidence. One reviewer credits the art history specifically, which is the part that pays off indoors.

Milan: Duomo and The Last Supper Skip-the-Line Guided Tour
The dearest of the six and the one built around the cathedral. If you already have Duomo plans, this listing asks you to buy them a second time.

Milan: Best of City Walking Tour with Last Supper Tickets
The only one that caps the group, at fifteen. The cap does nothing at all inside the refectory and a great deal on the pavement outside it.

Milan: Da Vinci Last Supper Tour
Listed at anything from one hour to six depending on the option you pick. Read the option you are actually buying before you read anything else on the page.
from $97Read the full review ›How I rank them
Rating first, then the number of people standing behind that rating, then what the money buys beyond a quarter of an hour that everybody gets identically. That order is why the cheapest listing on this site sits at the top and the flagship sits second. The ticket-and-guide holds 4.8 from 1,794 reviews at $57, and it does the single job all six exist to do. The flagship holds 4.7 from 6,512 reviews at $114, and 6,512 is more evidence than the other five listings hold combined, which is worth a tenth of a rating point to me and possibly more to you.
Ratings, review counts and prices here are GetYourGuide’s own figures at the time of writing, copied across unrounded. Every price is a “from” figure and the booking widget re-prices by date, party size and the option you choose, so treat them as the shape of the market rather than a quote. I never name the operator behind a listing. I do name guides, because the reviewers name them constantly and that turns out to be the most useful pattern in the whole set.
Three reviewers a tour, and why I am telling you that
The reviewer material behind these six pages is thin. I have three named people per listing and that is all I have, so you will see the same three quoted where they are relevant and you will not see a fourth, because a fourth would be something I made up. What those eighteen people have in common is striking: almost every one of them names their guide rather than the tour. Chiara, David, Flavia, Viktor, Barbara, Simone, Sylva, JonLuca, Christina, Silvia. You cannot request any of them and no listing will tell you who you are getting. What that pattern tells you is what you are actually buying with the money above face value: not a better view of the mural, which does not exist, but a person who can use fifteen minutes well.
The fifteen minutes nobody can sell you more of
This is the part I would fix in people’s heads before they spend anything. The refectory takes a maximum of forty people on a timed slot and holds them for fifteen minutes. Not the tour you booked, not the price you paid, not the size of your group: fifteen minutes, then the doors open and you go out through the shop. Santa Maria delle Grazie is a working church and convent complex rather than a gallery, open Tuesday to Sunday from 08:15 to 19:00 with last admission at 18:45 and closed on Mondays. What a quarter of an hour actually feels like is at how long the visit is, whether it justifies the trip is argued at is it worth it, and the timings are on opening hours.
What the money is for
The cheapest of these six costs about four times the official face value, and I am going to keep calling that a gap rather than a deal. What the gap buys is allocation: a seat in a slot that the official release sold out three months ago in a few minutes. It does not buy longer, closer or quieter, because none of those are for sale. If you have not yet tried the official route, do that first at the official ticket page. If it is already gone for your dates, the sold-out page is the one to read, the arithmetic is at ticket prices, and the full grid of six is at all tours compared.
Frequently asked questions
Which Last Supper tour should I book?
For most people the ticket-and-guide tour — it is the cheapest of the six at $57, it holds 4.8 from 1,794 reviews, and it delivers the entrance ticket plus a licensed guide without wrapping three hours of Milan around it. If you want the city walk as well, the flagship walking tour has 6,512 reviews behind it.
Do any of these tours get me closer to the painting or more time with it?
No, and nobody sells that. Every ticket type is the same fifteen minutes in a slot of up to forty people, whether it came from the official release or from a tour. What the tours sell is availability. See how long the visit is.
Are these reviews independent?
Yes. I am an independent writer, not the museum, not the Ministero della Cultura, not Vivaticket and not a tour operator. Booking links earn a small commission at no cost to you, and the proof it buys nothing is that the page I push hardest is the official ticket page, where I earn precisely nothing.
Why is the cheapest tour ranked first?
Because it is also joint highest rated, and because it does the one thing all six do without charging for a walk you may not want. That combination is unusual and I explain why I think it happens on the ticket-and-guide review. If you want the walk, pay for the walk knowingly: all six are compared here.
