“Loved loved this tour of La Scala! Our guide, Eddie, was extremely knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor and storytelling style. He definitely knew his stuff! We had a peek into the theater from the upper boxes and then we were told it was OK if we go back later when the tour was finished. A nice walk through the rooms of the museum. But my favorite thing was after the tour ended, we went back to look into the theater again. A full rehearsal was going on, and we were able to see the singers and the orchestra practicing for the following week’s opera! Amazing for a…”

“What an iconic stadium, so glad I have managed to personal witness it before it goes. However, the tour was a little anticlimactic given the stadiums status. I have done a few tours now (Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, Anfield & The Hawthorns) and this was the shortest tour and the museum at the stadium is the smallest iv seen. It was good that you get to go pitch side and the tour guide was excellent, providing a lot of interesting information. Also, the tour guide and security did not rush customers, they let you take as many pictures and videos as you wanted, which was better than all the other…”

“I was so looking forward to this tour. Unfortunately, it was extremely disappointing. The tour began well when the guide recognized my cane use and invited me to use a lift to the upper level where the tour began. We first visited the Opera House where a rehearsal was in progress. It was most interesting to watch for a few minutes before proceeding into the museum, where we sat for a few minutes for an interesting narrative about the history of LaScala. Once we entered the museum, we encountered other tour groups. At times, there were as many as 3 groups in one small room. It became very difficult to…”

“The tour of La Scala and the guide were excellent. The guide for the Cathedral tour was bubbly and communicated well but seemed to be far more interested in promoting Milan over other wonderful places in Europe rather than telling us about the Cathedral - how it was built, styles of building within the Cathedral, exterior features etc. we received some interesting facts and stories but they were all a bit disconnected. Tour was ok but could easily have been do much better. We also had to wait around for group members to turn up and then they ended up not joining us because the women didn’t have cover for…”
