We have one day in Milan - fly into Malpensa at 10 am- and are looking for a short tour that ideally includes the Last Supper and Duomo. Anyone have suggestions? THanks!
Kelly, while I can't help you with a tour I've taken myself, many of us would not suggest signing up for guided tours on an international flight-arrival day. Flight delays, cancellations and other transport snags, while the exception and not the rule, are still common enough not to risk losing the $$ if you can't make the meeting time/place. Also, jet lag bothers enough folks to make having to pay attention to an organized tour a bit difficult.
Editing: the tour company I'd recommended based on many great reviews from RS posters (Walks of Italy; tour linked below) doesn't provide their Duomo/Last Supper tour late enough in the day for you to comfortably make it: latest is at 1:00 on just a few select days. At least it wouldn't be comfortable for me.

I used Walks of Italy for a 3 or 4 hour walking tour of the historic area, The Last Supper and ending at the Duomo with a tour of the rooftop! Fantastic time. The guide was knowledgeable and personable. I learned a lot and walked through areas I might not have seen otherwise. Highly recommend Walks of Italy.
Thanks for both of these replies- and you are correct. This may be a bit ambitious for a first day- especially travelling with 3 kids. I appreciate the sanity check but will check out the tour group suggested!
We just did this about a week ago as a family with 2 teenagers. We bought our half day tour through Viator with the Tour operator: Viaggi & Turismo. We bought this tour to see The Last Supper. We also went to the Duomo (interior but not on the roof) and a couple of other places in Milan that we only saw from the outside. When I was looking they were the cheapest tour that went to the Last Supper. Hope this helps.
I also did a Viator tour in May that included The Last Supper and the Duomo as well as a couple of other sites. The guide was informative and the tour was fine. On another trip, I flew into Milan and saw The Last Supper and the Duomo the same day I landed and had no trouble staying awake. The Last Supper is unique and well worth seeing no matter what it takes to see it.
OK- these are great suggestions. In looking at options, what is the cheapest way to see The Last Supper without a ressie? Which tour did you do from the Viator site?
Kelly, we did a tour with City Wonders a couple of years ago, and enjoyed it very much. The best part was the Last Supper. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and pointed out things we had never noticed or considered. It was €70 each at the time. The tour also included the Duomo and a brief survey of a couple of neighborhoods as we walked from the Duomo to the Last Supper.
We did the Last Supper, Sforza Castle & Duomo Guided Tour with Viator this spring. Since you'll be arriving in the morning, you'll have to choose a tour that begins in the early to mid afternoon.
Kelly - our tour was with Viaggi & Turismo. Viator books it but Viaggi & Turismo provides the tour. I thought the tour guide was very good and we enjoyed it. We specifically booked the tour so we could see The Last Supper. It didn't dissapoint. I am very glad we did this tour. When I bought the tour tickets weeks before we left, this tour company was the cheapest one.
