The whole Last Supper experience seems to be geared up to forcing you on to these tours which we found disappointingly mercenary, even for a big city.We didn't do a lot of sightseeing but it is possible on the hop-on hop-off open top buses (although the sign-posting for the stops is rubbish as, apparently, is the app for City Sightseeing).We mostly used the excellent metro underground to get around town although there are also plenty of buses and trams.On our last day we headed down to the canals in the Naviglio district (P.ta Genova FS Metro stop on the M2 Green line) where we had an excellent lunch at Officina 12.
