Tour: Letztes Abendmahl von Leonardo da Vinci

The tour guide was excellent. She not only described the painting in detail, but also the history. Magnificent mural and structure.

One of the main reason for our visit to Milan was to visit the masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci, 'The Last Supper' Since tickets to the official booking site was not available (it goes off within a few days of booking slots being opened) we had no option but to opt for one of the main guided tours provided on various sites. The one we selected with Decathlon DMC Tour Operator met our expectation fully. You need to reach the meeting well on time as it could take a few minutes to locate your guide (there are quite a few tour operators) and collect your radio sets. Our guide provided a good historical background of the cathedral and the painting in the initial few minutes. Actual tickets need to be collected from the booking office and they need a photo ID to cross-check your names. There is a free locker facility for large bags or if you have food/water in your backs which works quite efficiently. Since the entry and visit are timed meticulously, there is no delay in entering through the main gate and a few minutes wait (which can utilised to go through the panels giving more background of the painting) before you are ushered in the non-descript refectory where you finally witness the painting. 15 minutes go off quickly so spend your time admiring the painting from various angles and locations as you hear the commentary of the guide. After your exit, spend some time going through the panels which depicts the painstaking restoration work undertaken. After you come out, you can also visit the cathedral (this is free to enter) and the book shops inside the cathedral

Dies war eine gute Tour. Die Reiseleiterin war sehr informativ über die Geschichte des Gemäldes. Sie schloss auch eine kurze Führung durch den Rest der Kirche ein, nachdem wir das Gemälde als nettes Extra angesehen hatten.
