Itinerary
Pass by: Walk inside Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping gallery, a 19th century glass vaulted shopping arcade. Brimming with fashionable shops and cafes, it is often called the ‘salotto di Milano’ or ‘Milan’s drawing room’ for its importance over the years as a common meeting point for the people of Milan.
Visit the splendid Duomo, one of the world's largest, most striking Gothic cathedrals. Some 135 spires and 3,200 statues are crammed onto the roof and facade of the building.
Enter Milan’s most famous Opera House, the fabulous La Scala theatre. Founded in 1778 and still in use, some of the world’s greatest musicians and opera singers have performed here including Pavarotti and Giuseppe Verdi, whose famous operas such as Falstaff often premiered in this very theatre.
The tour ends with the view of Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, The Last Supper, a UNESCO World Heritage sight, housed at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. The delicate nature of this mural and its importance means that Last Supper tickets are strictly limited to those who have pre-booked. This Skip the Line Tour of the Best of Milan includes this difficult to obtain pre-booked entrance, guaranteeing exclusive no line entry and an intimate viewing of the Last Supper.

Traveler reviews
The perfect way to spend a half day in Milan
We only had the afternoon, and we visited all 4 places in Milan we wanted to see. Getting to see the inside of LaScala was abonus as was walking through the Galeria. The guide provided interesting information the whole time.
The guide was...
The guide was disappointing. Had so many technical difficulties we only heard 1/2 of what she said and then she left half of the group on the way from Duomo to the Last Supper. Would not take a tour with her again. The duomo however was amazing even without a guide. And the last supper lived up to expectations by itself.
Loved the sights, tour could use some improvements.
Decent tour of a few main places, the guide was very knowledgeable, however spoke quickly and was hard to hear through the audio devices which impacted the experience. However, we loved the opera house and Last Supper and in smaller quarters we got the chance to ask some questions
Tour
Our guide, Maximo was fantastic very clear very knowledgeable and very kind. It was very hot and he was mindful to make sure our walking to her found the shade.
Very accommodating tour experience
Due to the unforeseen circumstances, we were late to the meet up but the tour operator was kind enough to meet up with the rest of the group at the next location. We really appreciate the flexibility and accommodation.
