La Scala tour - We really enjoyed this tour with Giula. The theatre has a very interesting history and the museum has many fascinating artefacts. Giula was very knowledgeable and provided very useful background information. The highlight of the tour was seeing the theatre with all the lights on.There were rehearsals in progress at the time we visited so initially it wasn’t looking likely that we would see the theatre lit up however the theatre staff were very accommodating and we were allowed to visit the theatre during a rehearsal break. Highly recommended for any visit to Milan

La Scala - We had a knowledgeable guide. We were shown lots of images from a large screen and learned about the history of La Scala. We were allowed inside one box to view the stage. However, we never got near the stage. We didn’t go backstage, we didn’t see any dressing rooms, rehearsal rooms, or props and costumes for this week. I was disappointed that the tour was all from the inside.

Don't waste your money! - My heart sank when the guide turned up with 10 seconds to go to realise it was the same guide I had for my Duomo tour. Uninterested, monotone voice and constantly checking his watch to see when he could make an early get away. The theatre itself is beautiful but I have learnt nothing about it. I asked a couple of questions and he muttered that he didn't know. With the right guide this could be a great tour, but with the wrong one, as I have now had twice, it's just plain boring.

No guide / no person - I arrived at the locations and there was no guide. I arrived at the location and on time but there was nobody there. I don’t recommend

Bad - Tour was cancelled and the tour organizer did not notify us until 30 mins after the scheduled start despite my proving my email, and phone number. I received no advance warning of the cancellation. Frustrating and disappointing
