Milan - Last Supper tickets or tours
We'll be in Milan in late May, and I know we need to book our tickets to see the Last Supper in advance. We're a group of five. I'm having a hard time finding a reputable website to purchase tickets. It seems that for every site or company there are multiple negative reviews online about problems with the tickets or sketchy credit card issues.
Any recommendations for companies or websites to purchase advance tickets to the Last Supper? We're willing to purchase the tickets separately, or as part of a half-day tour or something like that.
Thanks!
Re: Milan - Last Supper tickets or tours
I too had difficulty purchasing our tickets several months ahead of time. This is the official website: http://www.vivaticket.it/?op=cenacoloVinciano
Unfortunately, they didn't have availability on the day we were scheduled to be in Milan. Additionally, I could never reach a representative each time I tried to call them over the phone. I later found out that many large tour groups and third parties tend to eat up the majority of the tickets as soon as they are released. So, we ended up booking through this third party website (http://www.tickitaly.com/), although it cost three times the cost of a regular ticket.
During high season, I don't think it is as easy as it once was to purchase tickets on the same day as your visit. We saw multiple people being turned away during our visit.
I have an entry in my travel blog on Milan here: http://wanderlusttraveler.blogspot.com/2012/02/milan-italy-sightseeing-dining-and.html
What did you think of the tour itself?

Sorry for such a late reply but I'm glad you're going with them! H and I really liked the tour. The bus was nice and comfortable and our guide was friendly and was very well spoken in English. He was also very knowledgeable. The Last Supper was definitely my favorite of that tour. Like PPs say, there are times it's hard to get tickets at the door as they are always reserved by tour companies.
