The entire activity was well executed. Starting from the your guide, the way she took us through the painting explaining the history in quite some detail nd patiently handling questions from the group. Well done and excellent
The entire process with Headout was extremely well organised and positive. We were kept updated with where and when to meet our guide. The tickets were scanned without problems. Our guide - we were so lucky to have such a wonderful engaging lady - Faviola (I do hope I spelt her name correctly) . Her enthusiasm and absolute love of Art history was impressive and helped make our Last Supper experience more than we could ever imagine. Thank you
The guide was excellent & speaks english well. The activity was well-planned. The guide was knowledgeable and able to explain everything in an interesting way.
Excellent explanation from Katerina, normally I don't like tours, but this time it was calm, interesting, friendly and to the point. I totally recommend it and I hope you have the opportunity to do it with Katerina.

The guide was excellent. So knowledgeable. Great details. All arrangements smooth. Good communication. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
Meet up directions were great. Easy checkin. The gudes were great. This tour exceeded our expectations. Great value this tour really made our trip.
Our guide was wonderful. The level of detail and her sheer knowledge of the artwork made for an outstanding tour. Highly recommended!!
Everything ran on time. Our guide was knowledgeable but hard to hear as she was speaking very quietly. Even when the group told her we couldn't hear her well, she said we all agreed we could hear her at the beginning of the tour so basically too bad.
The guide was very informative and gave just the right level of detail for the time available. I don't normally use guides but she provided some really important context for the viewing.
We went to the ticket office and was told to wait in front for our tour guide and he will be holding a banner with the name of the company. There was a person holding a banner but Headout was not included in the list. It took us a while to find him and only because we decided approached him and asked to check our names on his Ipad. Otherwise we would have missed the tour.
I was able to see the last supper which was the main idea . The guide was very good and explain a lot of interesting details. What I don't understand is why we didn't go inside of the church itself and why after admiring the last supper we started walking to Castle Sforzesco, visit the place and I believe the tour ended in Duomo. I didn't book this kind of tour. I book skip the line for Last Supper (for one hour). We had to leave the tour at the Castle since it took more time than expected(I asked the guide and it was one more hour, by then we had been 1 h 45') and we had other reservations. The guide wasn't very happy about it and I understand, but it wasn't my fault. So I wasn't that happy with the whole experience since I don't like to be rude and disrespectful with other people work.
Thought the guide was very knowledgeable and we loved seeing the pix. I wish we would have known in advance that the church was closed mid-day. I would have picked another time.
The Last Supper itself was spectacular. What was mediocre was the signage n directions to find the guide. The image that was sent of the meeting point doesn't correspond with the exact address. Furthermore, there are many different partners using the same agency. The representative was not prompt and did not hold the sign in a conspicuous manner. She was also unaware that many different groups were on her list and told people that they weren't part of the group when they actually were. Clients should also be told what the process will be ahead of the tour. We were told to meet at 415om for the 430pm tour but our tickets were for 5:15pm. It was therefore confusing why we were waiting around and then told to produce our IDs n collect the tickets from the ticketing office. These initial impressions are very important to the overall enjoyment of the experience.
Seeing the art was the best part, and having a little time to absorb it. The audio buds are not great. Hearing is difficult. Head phones would be a much better option
I would definitely experience Headout again, at all times there is quality and truthfulness in the service they offer.

We really enjoyed the tour and the guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I would have said 'Awesome' but we had so much trouble finding the guide because she was holding a sign that said 'Towns of Italy'. Don't you think that in a crowded square filled with guides it would make a lot more sense for her to at least have a sticker that said 'Headout'? There was nothing about Towns of Italy on my ticket and it was a stressful start to the tour.
In the app, it was mentioned to arrive 15 minutes early. I arrived but faced difficulty finding my group. The excursion started much later than the scheduled time on my ticket.
Our guide Gianluca was amazing

Guide was entertaining. Walked a bit fast for us. Thought we were going to return to our meting point after the tour was over. Had to hunt for a taxi to get back to our starting point. Had no idea how to do this or where to look.
Our guide Maria was extremely knowledgeable, not just about the sights we saw but also about the history of Milan generally. Not only did we see The Last Supper and the Duomo but also many other interesting aspects of Milan. The ticketing experience was very straightforward. This tour is well worth the expense, particularly on your first day in Milan. Then you can investigate more later.
Learned a lot and the guide was very entertaining and informative.
Loved the Last Supper viewing!
Very informative and interesting (English tour with Elisa).

Very good tourguide (Davide), who told us many facts about history and art

The tour guide was very pleasant, neat, understanding and most important an expert of Milan and Milan history, and also worked extremely well managing the crowd. The reason I rated a good and not an awesome, is we received strict direction from your company to adhere to the arrival/start time. I had to call the company at ~ 9:12 AM as our guide was not at the starting point and was a bit late, so, we were concerned.
Maria was outstanding. Her explanations and narrative brought everything to life. Additionally, I was traveling and delayed and had to miss the first part. The fact that you called me and arranged for me to join the tour later and especially to not miss the Last Suppper meant the world to me. I highly recommend this service for quality, care, professionalism, and insights.
Christina was a wonderful guide, we loved getting to know Milan, we really enjoyed the tour!

It's not possible to see last supper individually.So I reached you.Maybe we are the only attendants whose mother tongue is not English. Sometime We were difficult to understand,but it's enjoyable and good for English brush up. We would like to join you sometime in other places.
Fabulous organisation and the most amazing and knowledgeable guide. Her enthusiasm and genuine love of the city shone through. Full praise to Silvia...she was outstanding.
Guide très intéressante et très agréable qui nous a aussi donné de bon conseils pour d'autres visites de la ville ou d'expositions. Tout a été très bien organisé et le RV était fiable. Seule remarque : nous aurions aimé une visite en français.
Katarina was great, very professional guidance, lots interesting info.
Die Tour war völlig in Ordnung, die Führerin hat sich gut ausgekannt und uns viel vermittelt. Allerdings hatten wir eine Halbtages-Tour bis 19h gebucht. Das war der Führerin nicht bekannt und wir waren um 17h bereits am Ende.....
Gebucht war eine 6-Stunden Städttetour inkl. der Mailänder Dom von innen ohne Warteschlange; der Tourveranstalter hat uns zwei Tage vorher mitgeteilt, dass aufgrund einer unvorhergesehenen Schließung des Doms die Dom-Führung nicht stattfinden kann und eine Alternative angeboten. Das war "nicht okay", auch wenn den Verantstalter keine Schuld trifft. Die Tour (mit Alternativprogramm) wurde professionell und informativ durchgeführt. Nur Hangout hat den Vogel der Verwirrung abgeschossen und am Vorabend der Tour einen falschen Treffpunkt angegeben. Das ist nicht nur "nicht okay", sondern völlig daneben. Zum Glück haben wir den Tourveranstalter kontaktiert - der immer, Tag und Nacht - sofort per SMS anpsrechbar war und reagiert hat, und der hat uns den richtigen Treffpunkt genannt. Hätten wir auf Hangout gehört, hätten wir am falschen Treffpunkt vergeblich gewartet, und die ganze Reise nach Mailand wäre im Eimer gewesen. Darum: Wir werden in Zukunft nicht mehr über Hangout buchen.
The tour was really nice (even though it was quite long - 6h but you get a few breaks including a 1h break to get lunch) You'll see everything important in Milan and if you only have one day in Milan I definitely recommend it as you won't lose time figuring out what's important or where everything is. We got headphones so we could hear our guide throughout the entire tour really well and you don't hear many street noises. Our guide was really experienced and made the tour really interesting Overall a great experience!!!

The Last Supper has puzzled the world with its hidden symbols. Here are a few to look for.
The person besides Jesus Christ looks neither male nor female. They lack typical masculine features like baldness or a beard, giving a more feminine impression. Some think Leonardo da Vinci might have meant for this figure to be Mary Magdalene instead of John.
In the painting, Judas Iscariot, standing on the right side, accidentally spills salt from a container with his elbow. This depicts the moment Jesus announces that one of his disciples will betray him.
Matthew's anger is palpable, and his tense stance reveals his frustration. Andrew appears shocked, hands raised in disbelief, struggling to grasp the weight of the moment. Jesus, however, exudes calmness, a beacon of serenity amidst the turmoil. Meanwhile, James Major and Philip are gripped by fear, their expressions mirroring their confusion and apprehension.
Da Vinci used numbers like 3 and 4 a lot. The apostles are grouped in threes, and there are four sets of tapestries with three spaces between them. Three symbolizes divinity, while four represents the earthly realm. This reflects da Vinci's ideas about God and our connection to the divine.
There's uncertainty about the fish in The Last Supper — some argue it's an eel, others say it's a herring. Some think da Vinci did this on purpose. It's curious because in Italian, 'eel' sounds like 'indoctrination' and 'herring' sounds like 'someone who denies religion,' especially in northern Italy.
Leonardo da Vinci painted The Last Supper in the refectory of the Dominican convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie.
The church came into being when the Duke of Milan, Francesco I Sforza, ordered the construction of a convent and church on the site of an old chapel dedicated to Mary. Later, his son Ludovico Sforza asked Leonardo da Vinci to paint The Last Supper as part of renovating the convent. Despite facing challenges like World War II, both the painting and the church survived. And because of the legacy of The Last Supper and its involvement in the painting's intense history, the church became a place of great significance and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1980.
