Bad form

The guide cancelled about three hours before the tour. It was my last day in Milan. Rude! I had not time to schedule another guided tour.

Not worth it

It is overpriced. La Scala and museum are beautiful and interesting but you can see both for a fraction of the price and avoid the fluff.

Excellent tour of the Milan opera house

The Scala has a fascinating history in terms of music and architecture. Our guide was knowledgeable and well-prepared. Although the tour was short, it was a highlight of our visit to Milan.

The event was rescheduled from morning to afternoon on short notice.

Our daily planning was ruined!!!! 39 euros for a one-hour tour is too expensive. No German tour was offered.

Anybody who likes opera should visit. It is very informative tour and possible to get to a place without seeing performance which of course has to be fantastic experience also but not always possible. Daniel is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting facts.

Great your guide and perfect semi private experience

Our guide was great and we got special access to private opera boxes for photos! Worth it to skip the line.
