Tour guide was great,...

Tour guide was great, informative with a touch of sense of humor 👏, but allowed to be inside of the theater due to a play rehearsal going on, only view it through a transparent plastic viewing window from above.

La Scala is beautiful and worth seeing

While the tour of the Duomo was cancelled we were able to enjoy La Scala. With the changing of the tour my app, email & text gave us the wrong time. So when we arrived at our scheduled time the host seemed upset. La Scala is beautiful and there was a lot of interesting information about the history. We were able to see the interior, a model of the theater and many interesting artifacts. We did feel our tour guide was quite abrupt in that we passed a hall of posters of the original operas and were told if we want pictures to come back after the tour. He was rude to a group of gentlemen who were quietly talking next to him as he was explaining the model to us. He said they were interrupting his tour (even though they were seated before we got there) and he asked them to be quiet. Honestly, our family never heard the other people. He could have easily walked to the other side of the table away from the men, but instead made them uncomfortable and they left. The tour felt a little rushed as he was told us several times that he wanted to stay ahead of all the other tours. I would recommend this tour, but not with the guide we had.

Duomo guided tour

Samantha is an excellent and knowledgeable guide and made the visit so much more enjoyable. The Duomo is a masterpiece of gothic architecture and having the specific details pointed out to us made the difference.

Excellent tour

Samantha was an amazing tour guide! She was so knowledgeable about both the theatre and the Duomo. She was so personable and friendly. The only challenge we had was finding the meeting place for the tour because it was not clearly indicated where in the plaza we were to meet.
