Milan last Supper + Duomo rooftop, pls help choose which option

Hello, I know I'm terribly late in booking/researching, it is due to a work last-min situation. Please help me choose ticket access.

Going in 2 days, haven't booked anything except air and hotel. We don't need a long guided city tour, just want to see the Last Supper and access the Duomo rooftop. My understanding is both are sold out this late/have long lines. In order to see both without waiting for a long time to access the roof, are the two links below my best option? I need to book them separately, correct?

https://www.veditalia.com/tours/last...t-guided-tour/

https://www.ticketone.it/en/eventser...?affiliate=DUO

Happy to pay up to 100 euro pp for a good small group experience without long waits, but don't need any extra city tour unless there is something else highly recommended/ very special.

Thank you very much!

From my trip report (link with photos below that: Hopefully there are some times available on the Duomo website

"A few months before the trip I contemplated how best to visit the Duomo. We could stand in line and wait to get in, go on a guided tour or get a timed “Fast Pass.” I went for the latter, and although it costs more than standing in line, it was definitely worth the money (€23). Our timed entrance was at 3 p.m., and although it was about 2:40, they let us start our self-guided tour early (by the way, the line of people waiting to get in the church without timed entries wound around the church.).

I used Veditalia to book the Last Supper--like you I waited too late to book direct so needed a tour and didn't want anything more than the Last Supper. It was good, everything went fine. If the date/time/price suit you, I'd say go ahead.

For the Duomo, including the rooftop, I bought Fast Track tickets through the Duomo website: https://www.duomomilano.it/en/buy-tickets/

years ago while in milano at the end of a trip elsewhere we went up on the roof of the duomo. it was as i recall a veritable sculpture garden and on a clear day views of the alps. it was the highlight of our 3 or 4 day stay. we passed on the last supper as the viewing procedure did not seem to allow time to appreciate. having said that we were so impressed by the fabulous scroveni chapel in padova that we paid to enjoy it 3 times. the fact that i believe all else that was built is gone and this survived is magical. the ceiling in giotto blue with gold stars is stunning
enjoy the roof
cheers

ps the more times i return to europe the longer the queues. quite honestly there is so much to see in any italian city aside from dolce fa niente, i just enjoy somewhere less illustrious but quite wonderfully italian

We were given a 15 minute window to view The Last Supper both times we went. The first time all the others in our group left after a few minutes leaving us alone with the masterpiece.
