An hour 'ish was the right length of time. You could stay in the museum afterwards if you wanted to.

Very comprehensive tour of La Scala, very lucky to see rehearsal taking place & them go back to see the opera house again !
Nathaniel_B, Jun 2026
Very thorough and interesting background and history of the theater along with very beautiful artifacts and instruments. Inside the theater is magnificent.

The guide cancelled about three hours before the tour. It was my last day in Milan. Rude! I had not time to schedule another guided tour.
Jack_H, Jun 2026
It is overpriced. La Scala and museum are beautiful and interesting but you can see both for a fraction of the price and avoid the fluff.
Raechel_S, Jun 2026
You can only see the inside of the theatre IF available. But truly great tour! And book it early in the day.
Jana_H, Jun 2026
Anybody who likes opera should visit. It is very informative tour and possible to get to a place without seeing performance which of course has to be fantastic experience also but not always possible. Daniel is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting facts.
Nick_H, May 2026
Our guide was great and we got special access to private opera boxes for photos! Worth it to skip the line.
MS_P, May 2026
If you are an opera fun and/or really want to get inside the legendary La Scala, then this tour is for you. Otherwise, skip it.
Suzanne_J, May 2026

Ian_M, May 2026
Tour guide was excellent. Knowledgeable, personable, patient with our questions and passionate about what she does.
Yu_H, May 2026
We had a very energetic guide. the group learned a lot about the history of the theatre. worth a visit.
Mariana_R, May 2026
Very knowledgeable tour guide we got! It felt a bit inconvenient with the hands-free gadget which was offered - it could not sit stable in the ear. Overall impression was good ♥️
Gwyneth_P, May 2026
Good chance to get inside La Scala and to see the theatre, which is very impressive. The rest of the museum is not massively interesting. Our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable.
Patricia_F, May 2026
Guide was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable. Very interesting history. Definitely worth a visit……..
Kellie_N, May 2026
It was a quick overall tour of La Scala with time to look around on your own after. The guide was SUPER knowledgable about La Scala and all things opera. So many good stories to tell.
Krishnayan_M, May 2026
Great exp …guide was very well informed and was sharing different stories about art , theatre , artists , with a tinge of gossip …
Susan_W, Mar 2026
We took this tour - it was basically ok (a little pricey for what it's worth). It was rushed and there were many tour groups in the opera house at the same time so all of them kept running into each other as we journeyed from room to room. I was disappointed that there was no back stage tour (standard in other opera house tours that I've taken) but this may not have been possible as a performance was scheduled for that evening. I don't know if there were no performance if it would have included a back stage look. So, in conclusion, it was adequate but certainly nothing exceptional.
Patricia_R, Feb 2026
Our guide was knowledgeable and kind, and was eager to share her deep knowledge with our group. We were with her for an hour, but I'm sure she would have been able to keep us enthralled for many more.

Excellent tour. Highly recommend. You get a few highlights of La Scala and get to see the inside of this legendary theater if you are not lucky to see a performance.
Teodora_I, Nov 2025
The guide was polite, very deep knowledge and he made our tour incredibly nice. We find the place easy, group was small and La Scalla felt wow!
Jeanne_B, Nov 2025
this is a very informative tour especially if you love everything about theatre. I was so immersed in the tour guide's stories, I never felt alone while on a tour.
Karen_W, Nov 2025
Having a guide give us the history made it more interesting. Small group was perfect. She was on time, knowledgeable and accomodating
John_H, Oct 2025
Badly organized. Host late. Guide was charming but material boring. You would only go if you had to see the inside of a box and the stage.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear John,
We are sorry to hear that your experience at La Scala Theatre did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for any delay at the start and for the impression of poor organization.
We’re glad to know you found the guide charming, though we regret that the content did not feel engaging to you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, we appreciate it.
Best regards,

Fantastic commentary by our guide. Not too long and not too short. Lots to see. We had the lights off and lights on experience during preparation for the show.
DOUGLAS_C, Aug 2025
Knowledgeable guide. Friendly. Gave lots of interesting, historical information. Well spoken. Was a great tour.
Bridget_G, Jul 2025
My heart sank when the guide turned up with 10 seconds to go to realise it was the same guide I had for my Duomo tour. Uninterested, monotone voice and constantly checking his watch to see when he could make an early get away. The theatre itself is beautiful but I have learnt nothing about it. I asked a couple of questions and he muttered that he didn't know. With the right guide this could be a great tour, but with the wrong one, as I have now had twice, it's just plain boring.
Kevin_K, Jun 2025
We really enjoyed this tour with Giula. The theatre has a very interesting history and the museum has many fascinating artefacts. Giula was very knowledgeable and provided very useful background information.
The highlight of the tour was seeing the theatre with all the lights on.There were rehearsals in progress at the time we visited so initially it wasn’t looking likely that we would see the theatre lit up however the theatre staff were very accommodating and we were allowed to visit the theatre during a rehearsal break.
Highly recommended for any visit to Milan
DeliaB_C, May 2025
Marvelous, if you enjoy Opera and Ballet. The guide was very knowledgeable. Had a perfect day. The Museum was beautiful and the Theatre glorious.
DOROTHY_M, Apr 2025
Our guide Emanuele was wonderful.even though there was a dress rehearsal going on for students she was able to get us into a box to see the inside of the theater
