The Duomo is a record-breaker: the largest church in Italy and the fourth largest globally, capable of holding an astounding 40,000 people.
Next, your expert guide will lead you through the dazzling Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, named in honor of Italy's first king. This 19th-century architectural marvel was designed to link Piazza Duomo and La Scala, the city's most important squares at the time. Today, it's a vibrant showcase of high-fashion boutiques and renowned restaurants, all housed beneath a stunning, ornate glass roof.

A stroll through the grand Piazza Cordusio and Via Dante leads you to the imposing Sforza Castle. As one of Italy's most impressive fortified structures and one of Europe's largest castles, it connects to the sprawling Sempione Park, offering unforgettable views of the iconic Arch of Peace (Arco della Pace).
The highlight of your tour is a visit to Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece, The Last Supper. Prepare to be captivated by one of the most celebrated paintings in history as your knowledgeable guide shares its fascinating story.
Commissioned in 1495 and completed in 1497, the painting graces the dining room wall of a former Dominican monastery. Da Vinci's depiction captures the dramatic moment after Christ declares, "One of you will betray me."
This monumental artwork, measuring 4.6 meters high and 8.8 meters long, was created using a unique and innovative technique.
The Last Supper is undeniably a pinnacle of artistic achievement. Its enduring influence on figurative art is inextricably linked to the architectural setting in which it was created.
As a sweet bonus, you'll also enjoy a complimentary gelato tasting during your private tour.
