Excellent. Very informative. - Seeing the theatre itself and hearing the stories of it in past times. Our guide seemed very knowledgeable, and we could feel his love for the theatre also. Love that Italians we meet especially guides are so passionate about their Italian heritage.

Do not miss - Excellent guide in French who gave us precise explanations. Despite everything, there were a lot of people and it was not easy to visit the whole museum with its small rooms.

What could it been a great experience. - The tour guide was good but when was time for us to go in,the security guy at the theater told us we had to wait because it was too many people inside,meanwhile he’s still let others go before us until somebody went inside to claim the injustice.That left us all with a bitter taste of negativity,unfortunately.

Amazing place; tour overly long. - It would’ve been better if it had been a little shorter in each room. The history was interesting and the facility was magnificent. The tour guide was knowledgeable!

We were disappointed that... - We were disappointed that we were only able to see the theatre from the box seat and this was only the first 15 minutes. The museum side was interesting but wish we could have seen more of the theatre

Worst xp ever - The tour didn't take place because of theater rehearsals. They offered a rescheduling plan- which it wasnt convenient as i had to catch my flight - but no money refunding. Viator customer care didn't help at all as I was said that it wasn't their responsibility. Awful experience.
