Context Travel has retooled and relaunched its experiences in Milan, Italy, introducing new immersive tours in the city that are more aligned with travelers' desires.

Milan is one of the company's most requested destinations and the tour operator is providing clients with a new perspective through an expanded crop of expert guides who provide a unique insider lens to the city.

A rare, highly-coveted private tour of Leonardo da Vinci's famed Last Supper painting and a luxurious private Lake Como excursion are among the revamped offerings that Context is now featuring.

"Milan has been and continues to be one of our most in-demand destinations," said Evan Frank, CEO of Context Travel, "and it was crucial for us to expand and enhance our offerings to give travelers a refreshed perspective on this vibrant Italian city. We very much look forward to introducing our new expert guides and having travelers discover even more unique experiences in the destination."

The Last Supper experience is often led by Giacomo, who holds a degree in Preservation of Cultural Heritage, with a specialization in Medieval Art. He applies his insider knowledge to the tour and provides guests the opportunity to uncover the secrets of the painting and showcase parts of Milan that even locals are unfamiliar with.

Luisa, who holds a PhD in Political Science and History has a passion for the Renaissance which she applies to Context's private Lake Como excursion, which tours the region's breathtaking sights and delightful eats, including Villa Erba, Villa D'Este and Villa Oleandra, as well as the Como Cathedral and the Church of San Giovanni Battista.

Fashionistas can join Context's Alta Moda: Fashion in Milan tour with insiders like Federica who have worked with designers such as Prada, Miu Miu, Giorgio Armani, and Dolce & Gabbana. Guests learn about Milan's fashionable history while touring shopping hubs like Emporio Armani, Montenapoleone, Via Sant'Andrea and Via della Spiga.
