Fabulous - Great experience! Beautiful opera sung by experienced performers. Santa Maria church was a perfect venue with perfect acoustics.

I would not repeat - Good intention, but poor quality. Maybe we were unlucky the day we were there, but between the soprano, who seemed to have just woken up from a nap, and the singer (I'm not sure about the vocal range) who was out of tune at times, it seemed like a bit of a joke. The best is the pianist.

Opera - The opera was beautiful. The meeting point was never communicated. Us and another couple waited outside the church for 40 minutes before someone showed up and said we should be at the restaurant she reserved for us. The restaurant was ok but I recommend eating elsewhere and buying only the opera tickets

Hard to navigate - There were no clear instructions about dinner or the start time of the opera. We went to the restaurant and they did not give the full meal on the menu. The food was below average. We then went to the opera and there was no start time. There were no other instructions.

Bad organization - The organization was mediocre. It was not entirely clear where we should report to eat. The description stated that we had 70 minutes to eat and then the concert would start. After 70 minutes we had almost finished eating, but then we had to wait on the street for more than 60 minutes until we were allowed to enter the church for the concert. This should have been communicated better. The concert also started too late. Furthermore, it is cheaper to book this experience without a meal. Then it will ultimately be cheaper for you.

Felt scammed! - Concert cancelled and we were not notified. Doors locked and no sign regarding cancellation was on door. Nearby shop owner says this happens a lot. We felt scammed.

Avoid - no show, no tickets and no opera :-( - Went to the restaurant to meet them and get the tickets. No one showed up and there was no instruction, so no opera and no contact since. I don't know why this went wrong, as there was no contact since, so very poor. Avoid!

Do not book with Viator - A complete waste of our one Saturday evening in Florence. There was NO event. We spent over 28euro on cabs and walked all the way around the church area looking for signs, open doors,and asking locals. NITHING. Getting a refund is not enough. My husband wears a leg brace and it was 95 degrees. This is awful This company is owes me 156$US and 28euros and a huge public apology
