Being in the boxes at La Scala is a real highlight! In a good hour, you cover the history of the building and the artists who performed there, and I even learned something about Italian history that helped me better understand certain monuments I visited in other cities across the country. Daniele was a guide who answered questions and was respectful of the venue as well as all the other guides working alongside him at the same time!

Very pleased with our guide despite her meeting people in front of the entry rather than at the meeting point across the street. She shared a good deal of history and some amusing anecdotes and I am glad we took the tour rather than merely walked through on our own. Catching a short bit of a rehearsal was an unexpected bonus.

I was expecting a longer guided tour of the Weber Theater, but there happened to be a rehearsal on stage. I didn't find the small rooms of the museum all that interesting.

Magnificent theater, living up to its reputation. Our French guide was very interesting and attentive. We were able to take advantage of a rehearsal break to admire the illuminated auditorium. The museum is also very rich in collections of instruments, paintings, costumes... An absolute must-see when you are in Milan.😍

Very interesting and humorous tour of La Scala in Milan. The guide was very friendly and shared relevant information and many details in an absolutely charming and entertaining way. It was really fun to see and learn so much in such a great way.

An interesting visit to this world-famous monument. What surprises you the most is its simplicity—the lack of exterior and interior opulence compared to the Palais Garnier—but the auditorium is splendid.

Very interesting visit to the museum. In the auditorium, it was not possible to take photos because a rehearsal was taking place.

The guide was knowledgeable and able to explain everything and tell the history of la Scalla. Would recommend the tour.

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.
