Day 2 "The Last Supper" - Milan
On Day 2 we are on our own in the afternoon, but the itinerary mentions a special opportunity to experience "The Last Supper" in the evening after hours without typical crowds. Does anyone know the time frame of this viewing so we can plan our afternoon and dinner? With my thanks.

Our Tauck Director did not have the exact viewing time until the previous day. I doubt that Tauck would have any details this early before your tour but you could try.
Tauck organized two groups leaving from the hotel. I think they were at 6:45 pm and 7:15 pm. Milan traffic is heavy - half an hour drive, I think - and we arrived at Santa Maria delle Grazie with perfect lighting for an outdoor photograph.
We had to wait a bit until it was our turn to go inside, and the local tour guide used that time well. We had a good long time inside - at least a half an hour - and we were back at the hotel by 9 pm. (I'm certain of that return time because we had a dinner reservation at Acanto, in the hotel. By the way, dinner there was fabulous too.)
Inside, you can take photos to your heart's content. They just don't want you to use a flash, nor to take video.
The last bus leaves La Scala at 4. Then there is downtime waiting for the bus between 4-7 pm. We just ventured out, found some local grocery stores and ate in the room so we didn't have to spend a couple of hundred euros for dinner at the hotel. Plus we found a great pizza place near the duomo and dinner was not a priority.
Also, what time was the Amsterdam lunch cruise finished? Just want to know how much time after before we need to return to the boat.
Thank You
