Hello, I was running a little late because of the Milan Marathon, and the guide called me to make sure I was coming, then explained how to meet up with them. She speaks French very well and provides all the details you’d want when booking a guide. A wonderful experience

The Tour de la Scala was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The tour began exactly on time, which I really appreciated as it showed great organization and respect for visitors’ schedules. Our guide was very engaging and knowledgeable. He shared many fascinating historical facts not only about the building itself but also about the famous artists who have performed at La Scala throughout its history. The way he told the stories made the history come alive and kept the whole group interested the entire time. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and enriching experience. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Milan who wants to learn more about the history and cultural importance of La Scala.

Great tour with the guide—just make sure to check the meeting spot listed on the website, as it’s not exactly at that location but 50 meters away.

Very enjoyable and informative visit to La Scala. I would have known that it was a flat ceiling if I had not been told.

Guide très intéressant et connaissant à fond le monde des opéras. Il a rendu notre visite inoubliable

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.
