Very bad experience
My ticket to the Teatro Colon did not work for me I had to buy it again there I never used it I contacted them and they did not give me a refund. I lost that payment with you. I think it was with TripAdvisor or with Viator. I don't remember anymore

Beautiful theater ! A must see when visiting Buenos Aires!!! Loved the views and the staff were lovely. Definitely make sure you have a reservation.

It is a scam, they are...
It is a scam, they are intermediaries for foreigners. They double the price of the ticket without any additional service. Also, upon arriving at the Teatro Colón, it is posted that those over 60 years old, (our case), only pay $17,000, (we paid $70,000 each).

the ticket is very expensive through Viator
on Viator I paid 70,000 Argentine pesos per ticket If you buy it at the theater box office it costs you 7,000 !!!! Look carefully before buying !!!

Unsuccessful, I couldn't finalize it
I couldn't take the tour, they suspended it for me. I expect a refund of the amount I cannot give an accurate opinion
Operator response
Hola Monica, por que dice que le suspendieron el paseo?
