Milan: Leonardo Da Vinci's Paintings and Last Supper Private Tour

About this tour

You'll access the Last Supper at Santa Maria delle Grazie without queuing, then move through the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana's collection of his sketches and inventions, and Castello Sforzesco's frescoes. The guide unpacks how he approached light, perspective and human anatomy—the foundations of his enduring influence. Hotel pickup and drop-off included on Comfort and Luxury bookings.

What to expect

Your guide meets you at the first venue and walks you through each location with focused attention on Leonardo's methods—how he layered paint, managed perspective, and documented ideas across disciplines. At the Last Supper, expect a quieter experience than the general queue; the fresco itself is behind reinforced glass in a refectory that's part working conservation space. The Pinacoteca holds page after page of his notebooks: anatomical drawings, military designs, hydraulics sketches. Castello Sforzesco rounds out the arc with his large-scale frescoed work. Between venues, you'll navigate independently using public transport (not included), so allow buffer time.
