Had a great tour today with Clara. She provided so much interesting detail about the Last Supper. You could tell she loves the work of art and her descriptions really brought it alive. We had plenty of time to stand and explore the painting from the closest viewpoint allowed. This was a highlight of our trip!! We enjoyed the others sights as well including Santa Maria del Grazie church, Sforza Castle, and other tidbits as we walked between the two. She really knows what we want to hear! Clara also did a nice job taking care of us. She made sure not to lose anyone, did a nice job pointing out the bathrooms as they became available and her walking speed was comfortable. So many other guides race along so fast it’s no fun running through the tour. I don’t like being on my feet but this 2 hour tour was just about right to see some important sights in a short amount of time. Everything was very accessible with no stairs. I was very happy I chose this tour.
