Very thorough and interesting background and history of the theater along with very beautiful artifacts and instruments. Inside the theater is magnificent.
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.
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.
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.
You can only see the inside of the theatre IF available. But truly great tour! And book it early in the day.
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.
The female guide was very dedicated and competent. She conveyed the history surrounding the Scala in very good English and in a very lively manner. Thank you very much!
Our guide was great and we got special access to private opera boxes for photos! Worth it to skip the line.
If you are an opera fun and/or really want to get inside the legendary La Scala, then this tour is for you. Otherwise, skip it.
