Explore the la Scala Museum & Theatre with a Local Guide in Milan - Milan_La_Scala4.jpg

Meet your local host in front of the grand Teatro alla Scala and begin your journey through Milan’s operatic heart. After a short introduction to the square and its famous surroundings, including the statue of Leonardo da Vinci and the elegant Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, you’ll enter the La Scala Museum. Here, you’ll dive into the world of classical music and opera through an inspiring collection of historical artifacts—from original costumes and instruments to portraits and handwritten scores.

If the theatre isn’t in rehearsal, you'll step inside one of the royal boxes to view the magnificent auditorium, soaking in the red velvet, golden decor, and breathtaking chandelier. Throughout the tour, your host will bring the history of Italy’s most celebrated opera house to life with fascinating anecdotes and accessible storytelling.

Before saying goodbye, your host will share tips for other cultural gems nearby and recommendations for cafés or music spots to keep the magic going.

The local hosts are natural storytellers, each one with a different background ranging from arts to history. They can’t wait to share some of their unique stories and personal anecdotes with you! Feel like changing the route a bit? No problem, the hosts will be happy to personalize the tour to your wishes.

Omar is an exceptional guide, he has an extensive knowledge of Milan’s history. Omar delivers information in a passionate and captivating manner its like you travel through time as you discover the secrets and rich history of Milan. Milan at first glance does not seem as rich in history as other Italian cities and I felt enlightened and fully immersed with Omar’s tour. A wonderful, engaging and fun tour as Omar is such a positive and energetic person with a vast knowledge of Milan.Best guide ever!

We read Omar’s reviews and noticed that all he had were 5 star reviews. Wondered if that was truly the case. YES Omar is a five star host. He knows everything including information you would never dream about knowing. We will definitely book him next time to take into some of the museums.2 Hour Evening2 Hour Evening Walking Tour
