See Leonardo’s Last Supper with a guide, then walk from Santa Maria delle Grazie to Sforza Castle, La Scala, Galleria, and the Duomo.

“Our guide was super knowledgeable & friendly. I appreciated her being sensitive and allowing a few moments of silence when we were viewing The Last Supper. As a foreigner in Italy, I would have appreciated a much LARGER sign “Wandering in Italy” being held up so I could find the tour guide more easily.”

Review of Venice’s three-hour St. Mark’s Basilica, backstreets, and Grand Canal boat tour, with practical advice on price, timing, and value.

“Our guide never arrived. We called multiple times and received a voicemail. We messaged and got NO response. Several other tour guides passed us and we asked and they said we were at the right spot. We arrived at 1:40—the time was set for 1:45 for a 2 PM tour; we waited until 230. No one ever came. It was over $400. Sure hope to get this money refunded. We did several tours with another company and they were all excellent.”
