Traveler reviews
Terrible. Guide did not show up.
The tour operator/guide niever showed up. We waited for 15 minutes at the designated spot but had to give up and leave. We demand a full refund..
Fabulous Tour with a Brilliant Guide
Our guide was excellent, the best we’ve had in Italy. Excellent English, very charming, interesting content delivered with a dash of humour. Loved the theatre. It was the most beautiful building with a chequered history. Would recommend this tour.
Rip off!
Payed for private guide. They never showed up. Had to buy tickets from theater! We met another couple who also payed for a private tour guide and the same thing, no show! Only they refused to buy tickets!
Teatro La Fenice
I feel like the quality of your experience will depend on your tour guide. She seemed like she was in a rush and just wanted to say all the information and get it over with. A little disappointing
Must-see!
This opera theatre is absolutely SUPERB especially considering that it was ravaged by fire in the late 90s and rebuilt identically. The royal box is sublime, giving a 180-degree view of the room. We were happy to share this tour with French people dressed in costume for the Carnival
