Tickets for Leonardo’s Last Supper are personal, timed and limited, which is why many travelers see it with a tour that already holds the reservation. On Viator, two highly rated options are built differently. One is a 90-minute guided visit to the Last Supper and the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, for about $80. The other is a three-hour small-group walk that starts at the Duomo and ends at the Last Supper, for about $161. The cheaper one has a catch that matters more than the price. Below, we compare two ways to book a Last Supper tour, side by side.

The verdict
The guided visit includes the admission ticket to the Last Supper, collected on the day with the guide, and a licensed English-speaking guide with headsets, for the painting and the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. It is rated 4.8 across 1,250 reviews. The provider states that, to protect the painting, every visitor has 15 minutes inside the refectory; the rest of the 90 minutes is the church and the explanation.
The Duomo and Last Supper tour includes guaranteed reserved entry to the Last Supper and skip-the-line access to the Duomo, with an English-speaking guide, for 14 people at most. The walk covers about 2.4 km between the Duomo, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Piazza della Scala, the Sforza Castle and the Last Supper. It has the most reviews of the Last Supper tours we compared on Viator: 4.6 across 3,068 reviews.
Our pick for most travelers is the guided visit: it costs about half as much, is rated higher, and puts the time on the painting. But it is non-refundable, so book it only when your Milan date is fixed. If your plans might move, or you also want the Duomo with a guide, take the three-hour tour, which offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
The guided visit’s listing states: “You will not receive a refund if you cancel.” Tickets are personal and checked against an ID document, and names cannot be changed once entered. The Duomo and Last Supper tour offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, and also asks for every traveler’s name at booking.

What travelers say
On the guided visit
our guide was an archeologist and was so knowledgeable.
Tonya_E, August 2026, via Viator
we were mixed with a very large group. It was difficult to hear and understand our guide
Patti_R, August 2026, via Viator
On the Duomo and Last Supper tour
Without the tour, we wouldn’t have been able to get tickets to The Last Supper in time, so that was the reason for booking.
Sharon_V, September 2026, via Viator
we didn’t go in the inside of the Duomo and we saw other tours going in
joan_c, September 2026, via Viator
Sharon_V’s review sums up why these tours sell: the tour already holds the Last Supper reservation. The complaints on both are about the format rather than the painting: a large mixed group at the refectory on the guided visit, and a Duomo seen from outside on the three-hour tour, which the listing warns can happen on Sundays, religious holidays and during services.
How either fits a Milan trip
Read our guide to the Last Supper before you go, and plan the rest of the city with our first walk in Milan and the Lombardy travel guide. For a day out of the city, compare the Lake Como day trips from Milan or the Barolo wine tours.
Also in Milan: after the Last Supper, compare the Duomo and rooftop tours, both with skip-the-line entry to the cathedral and the terraces.

Questions travelers ask
Which Last Supper tour should I book?
Take the 90-minute guided visit for about $80 if your date is fixed: it is rated 4.8 and puts the time on the painting, but it is non-refundable. Take the three-hour tour with the Duomo for about $161 if you want the city too or need free cancellation.
How long can you look at the Last Supper?
The guided visit’s provider states that, to protect the painting, all visitors have 15 minutes inside the refectory. The rest of each tour is spent at the church or around the city.
Can I cancel a Last Supper tour?
The guided visit cannot be refunded. The Duomo and Last Supper tour offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do I need to bring to the Last Supper?
The guided visit asks for a passport or ID card, as the ticket is personal. Bags of any size, food and drinks are not allowed inside; the guide takes the group to lockers. Both tours ask for covered shoulders and knees.
Does the Last Supper tour include the Duomo?
Only the three-hour tour, which includes skip-the-line entry to the Duomo but not the rooftop. On Sundays and religious holidays the Duomo is explained from outside.
Is the Last Supper wheelchair accessible?
The guided visit’s listing states it is wheelchair accessible. The three-hour tour is not, because of the walking between sights.
Book the guided visit once your dates are certain and the painting is what you came for; book the three-hour tour if you want the Duomo as well, or the freedom to cancel. Either way, enter every traveler’s name exactly as it appears on their ID.
