    We had trouble arriving on time and appreciated the guide's phone call. Too bad no French audio guides. Frustrating to discover Milan's Scala.

    A meeting point is set up 10 minutes before the tour to give you the audio guide, which is very good. Despite our average level of English, we were able to understand the explanations as long as the guide took care to speak slowly, making an effort with his pronunciation. Nice little one-hour tour, to the point
  • Enter the world of orchestral maestros like Arturo Toscanini and Daniel Barenboim. Skip-the-line tickets make this an even smoother experience

    La Scala Theatre, inaugurated in 1778, is one of the world’s premier spaces to enjoy classical music. Luxurious architectural wonders await you inside; from a breathtaking crystal chandelier to a vast collection of set designs, costumes, and musical instruments. Your expert English or French-speaking guide will regale the group with anecdotes and pieces of history. However, if the tour size is over 5 people, you will each be given audio headsets for a personalized listening experience. If luck is on your side, you might even catch a glimpse of rehearsing artists.
