LaScala Experience - The tour was outstanding. Our guide was an historian who provided the most interesting information. I felt immersed in the period and truly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it!

Hope for a dress rehearsal - Our guide was knowledgeable and covered much of the history of the theatre. The museum was interesting, but walking thru the theatre and catching part of a dress rehearsal (Turandot - while the tenor sang "Nessun Dorma") was the highlight of the tour.

Good information was provided - It was a very nice tour. However, from the minute the tour guide began, she kept saying that she doesn’t have a lot of time and needs to go someplace else. She continued saying that throughout the tour which we found annoying and inappropriate as we paid to have the guided tour.

Worth the time - Being able to stand in the theatre boxes and watch the tech work taking place on stage while guide gave history was great.
The 3 flights of steep stairs was challenging and the elevator was not available.

Not as expected. - It was okay but Just a quick view of theatre from balcony. The rest was ajoining rooms with some history from tour guide. Did not include stage floor or backstage. No priority access. Very crowded with school kids tours.

Nightmare - Another horrible experience with the visitor tickets.
We supposed to meet with the tour guy at 3:30
We got there 3:10 wait and look for the tour guy in the meeting point ( plaza) for more then 20 min. Finally we went straight to the entrance and explained we had a reservation for that time but couldn’t find out your guy, receptionist ask about the ticket and then explain the changed the time and did the tour an hour before. The company never send an e mail or message letting us know about the changes.
Another couple and another family were in same situation. No body knew nothing about the time change .
I booked my entire trip with this company and I had similar and even worse problem to be able to use the ticket I got. Most of them I wasn’t able to used them. Lost lot time and money cause ended buying new ticket there.
It make my trip to Paris and Italy an horrible and nightmare experience.

Don’t book this La Sxala tour - The time was changed for this tour and we were never notified. This was a horrible experience and Viiator should not use this company. They were so unresponsive and rude when I called to find out where they were. They lied to me saying they sent an email and called to notify me of the time change. The only call I received was at 3:15, saying missed call. Even if I received that it would not be acceptable because that was the time the tour was starting. It ruined our day and we could not get another tour of La Scala. We are very disappointed.
