I picked this tour specifically for the visit to Theatro Colon, which seemed to be included according to the description which said "includes tickets to Theatro Colon". I had been wanting to visit it for 20 years. At 1:00 pm after a nice enough bus ride around town I asked our guide about the tour of the opera house. "Oh, we have tickets for you at 3:00 pm. This was unacceptable since we were supposed to board our cruise ship at 3:00 and I made that clear when we started the tour. They give you tickets but not for a part of the tour, you need your own transport and it's at a different time. Disappointed.
