VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Very good tour with room for improvement

I really enjoyed the tour, as did the rest of my group. Alesandro was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We scheduled the tour because we could not get tickets to see the Last Supper. He gave a great interpretation of the painting. I would have missed a lot of the details were it not for him. The visit to La Scala was a nice perk for my family (I had already been there).

I gave it only good and not excellent because we did not get inside of the duomo as the lines are so long. We did get tickets to see it at our leisure in the next 24 hours, but since we had other things scheduled we could not use the tickets. I feel that Veltra should know that most times the lines are too long and not include this. Also, we only drove past Castello Sforzesco. Alesandro did give recommendations of other sites that might be of interest some of which we did get to see and enjoy.

Half Day Duomo, La Scala & The Last Supper Walking Tour

A must do when you’re in Milan for the 1st time. Knowledgeable guide and proficient in English.

Great tour!

Great tour, knowledgeable tour guide, perfect amount of time for the information consumed/places visited.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable! Although it was billed as a walking tour, there was a lot of time on a bus. That should probably be explained in the description.

Milan City Tour with Last Supper

The Milan City Tour was of interest to us because it included a guide and tickets to the Duomo and The Last Supper. The guide spoke excellent English and was informative about the history of the building and the painting. She also made helpful suggestions about other things to do and see, which we followed. The tour was fairly priced.

Tour guide was very informative.

Nicely rounded trip

I'd recommend anyone to try this tour because you benefit from the guides knowledge and information. I would have liked longer inside the Duomo which is why I've only given 4 stars. You'd need to re-visit if you want to see the rooftop views as well.

The trip bought Milan to life in a way that makes me want to revisit to see the bits I missed.

Milan City Tour

The Milan City Tour was rly worth, if you are the type of person who does not want to think about where to go next and so, you can just sit back and relax.

The Last Supper is very difficult to find tickets so it could also be a great way to get your way there.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained things well, the timing was perfect, we stayed everywhere just enough not to get too exhausted, the only issue is we did not see the roof of the Duomo, but other than that it was good.

The tour starts at 9.30 am and finishes around 1 pm, so then you are left with plenty of time to discover other areas, being a compact city, it should not take too long!

Great half day tour for efficiency & saving time

The tour was gd and well organised overall, except the tour has ppl from diff countries, thus conducted in 2languages & thus you'd have to listen to both, as u wait for the next introduction. The places went would be more suitable for solo traveler or couples to know matter of factly stuff abt places. The Last Supper was kinda rushed & only 3min for the grp to sit and view (not sure if it is the tour organiser's or the site's control). La Scala is nice but I find it too long n dry, I excused myself in betwen for pics, however at areas where we look at paintings near to end of tour, i feel we should have given more time to observe paintings in different rooms.

Great Tour

The tour was great. In a relatively short amount of time, we were able to see many highlights of Milan including the Scala Opera House, the Duomo and the Last Supper. I booked my trip on short notice, and was initially disappointed that I could not get Last Supper tickets. Luckily, I found this tour and was able to see this remarkable painting. In addition to the sites mentioned above, we also had a short bus tour around the city and the tour guide pointed out things I would like to see if I ever make it to Milan again. The tour guide was very informative, and after the tour gave us some tips on good places to shop.

Great Tour

I only had one day in Milan, and felt this tour was a great way to see the major sites of Milan, including the Scala Opera House, the Last Supper painting and the Duomo, as well as a bus tour around the city. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and his English was easy to understand. One glitch was that the paperwork I received indicated we would not go inside of the Duomo, so I spent time in the morning doing this. When we got to the Duomo, the tour did in fact take us inside. I asked about it, and the guide indicated this was a change due to the Expo. So, you might want to clarify this so you don't spend time on your own going inside the cathedral if it will be part of the tour. Overall, it was a great experience and was a good value for the money.

The tour guide was knowledgable and enthusiastic. The tour was well organised, but must have been overbooked as 2 people on the tour missed out the the Last Supper viewing which should not happen.

Tour was good, nothing bad.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. The tour flowed well and about the right amount of time was spent at each place.

We felt that the tour on the whole was very good. Our guide was very nice but extremely difficult to understand. We think that her first language was German and she spoke both English and German on the tour. We just think that her English was difficult to understand, especially on the bus.

Everything was well timed . The tour guide was very informative and spoke English .

It was a well designed and interesting tour. We liked the guide very much.

The tour was good to see something of Milan, and to get a very brief idea of some of the history. The tour guide really excelled when it came to explaining 'The Last Supper' painting. It made seeing it a lot more special. Sadly, after the guide recommended a particular place to get a local icecream, we did not have the time to enjoy one!

The Last Supper is a must see and it would be a tragedy to be in Milan and not see it. I was almost heartbroken when most of the tour operators were booked due to the 1 week short reservation notice that I booked. As I have read in Trip Advisor reviews, City Discovery always made it possible for a slot to see the Last Supper. City Discovery made it all happen! Thank you City Discovery!!!!

The tour guide was very good, very informative. It is essential when in Milan to view The Last .Supper & seeing it with the guide who explains it in detail is great. The tour is a little rushed though.

My option was for a portuguese tour ( my first language) The tour gave a good brief of Milan center . The guide was excelente and had knowledge about the city's history. He speeks portuguese very well.

Well Organised with a good guide who spoke excellent English. Well worth doing

Useful tour when you don`t have plenty time to visit the city. Excellent opportunity yo admire the Last Supper.

Our tourguides english wasnt the best. My microphone didnt wasnt working. The tour showed most interesting sights but we were definitely rushed through all of it which was unpleasant n didnt allow me to gain the knowledge of the history of the sights she was speaking about. Also, regarding historical information the tour was too rushed n very poor. The stage to the La Scala was closed so we were obliged to return the next day if we wanted to see it.

Our tour guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable, and did it all in two languages (English and German). In addition to the sites we visited, the bus tour and narrative provided by the tour guide helped us pick other places to visit the following afternoon and day.

We enjoyed the tour very much - gave a good overview of Milan and it was the only way that we could see The Last Supper as all individual tickets had gone. Having checked out the tour on Trip Advisor we knew that the visit to the Duomo was very brief so we went there in the morning before the tour and had a good look round.
Our guide, Emmanuele, was very good - she did well to keep 50 people under her wing for three and a half hours.

La excursión colmó mis expectativas: Muy buena la guía, se hizo todas las visitas indicadas y con una excelente explicación de la Ultima Cena. Realmente muy recomendable!!!!!

Great as an orientation to Milan. Inclusion of The Last Supper was a must and the main reason we booked the tour (it was booked out on the church's direct website well in advance).

Excellent guide made a very interesting day she new her stuff. La Scala was wonderful and the last supper painting was more than we had anticipated.
