Our guide was very...
Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke several languages to help translate when English was not understood for some. The Opera House is beautiful with an interesting history. If you see this and want to see a performance- grab tickets the second they go on sale!

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
