Fascinating - Susanna was an intelligent, informed, and engaging guide. As I erroneously signed up for an Italian, rather than an English tour, my family was ready to try to absorb as much as we could. Susanna toggled between the two languages effortlessly to assure we were all included in the tour of this beautiful opera house.

Highly recommend! - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Our guide got us in early and we were thrilled to see a tech rehearsal from a private theatre box. Amazing history and gorgeous theater. I highly recommend this tour!

A worthwhile tour of a legendary location - The guided tour is recommended if you have never been to La Scala. The theatre is legendary for the performers and composers whose music has been presented there. Not many people know of the rich history, origin and ownership of La Scala and fewer have had the opportunity to enter one of the boxes which are opened for the tour. The attached museum contains artifacts which will have interest for lovers of classical music.

Excellent for a rainy day - Excellent experience for a rainy day in Milan. Guide was engaging and we learned a lot. Theatre was beautiful - just be mindful that if there are rehearsals on you can’t see inside the auditorium. Not to be missed!

La Scala Theatre - Guide was knowledgeable and provided a lot of information. She knew all the history of the composers and performers from the theaters history and in the art galleries. Overall very informative. Only issue was we were in the theater box for a VERY short time as there was going to be a rehersal.
