LaScala Theatre & Museum Tour - This is a great tour. Since no rehearsal was taking place, we were able to view & photograph the theatre from the 3rd level boxes. The museum was very interesting. Our guide (I don't remember her name) was very knowledgeable about the history of LaScala; she was excellent!

FANTASTIC (but be aware that this is a GROUP, not a private, tour...) - Wow! I absolutely loved this tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the history of significance of La Scala, and her enthusiasm was obvious. We were treated to watching a rehearsal that was occurring on the main stage. What a thrill!! I can't recommend this enough. The only thing to be aware of is that this is not a private tour (the term "...with private guide" in the title is misleading...), but a group. Otherwise, 5/5 stars!!!!

Not worth it..... - Did'n even get to see the theater inside due to rehearsal. To buy only a theater ticket for $15 makes more sense. You can see the museum anyway!

Bad sound - Very hard to hear the guide. Radios had a heavy background static. Guide held the microphone with her hand so when she turned her head I couldn’t hear her at all.

Disappointed - I didn’t enjoy the tour because there was a training performance on the stage, they didn’t allow us to see the stage and the theatre except just for few minutes from a small side room. The tourist company should know the time of any performance and arrange the guided tour in another time to give us a chance to enjoy the inside of the opera house..

This is NOT the experience you think you're going to get - What an utter let down. I booked Tripadvisor feeling re-assured. The guide was dirty, unkempt and totally bored with his subject. Having paid for a tour of the Theatre & Museum to stand in one of the boxes for 3 minuets and be told that we must be grateful that they let us in. Whilst trying to listen to our guide who at times seemed uncertain where he and therefore us were going. This is not the experience we were expecting and my husband (who's birthday treat this was) said enough is enough after just 25 minuets I can't remember the last time I felt this disappointed.

They changed the tour time to be 30 min early then planned- without informing us! - Would not recommend. They changed the tour time to be 30 min early then planned- without informing us! Who does that? Leave sooner than planned? It is not possible to accommodate when traveling internationally and already trying to see everything. We received no notification, no email and the phone number they claimed to have reached out to was incorrect as they didn't use any country code? Further when this was coming all together apparent- there was no suggested recourse of rescheduling for another time or day. Furthurmore- the tour says 'private' but then we were told by another group leader that is was not. No finally no resolution, no offer of a credit. DO. NOT. BOOK.
