Excelente! El mejor tour pagado. Las guías explicaron todo y recorrimos todo el teatro. Fue verdaderamente hermoso conocer el lugar.

To be honest we were not able to do this tour. But my review is for the way the theater handled it. There was several others who showed for the tour as well. We all bought tickets thru Viator. When we arrived the gentleman at the theater was really rude about it and did not even try to resolve the issue, which was, the theater only does tours on Monday and Tuesday. But it is still open for bookings on days the theater does not do tours. The theater is 100% responsible to remove the booking from the Viator site on days they are closed. Handled poorly by theater.

The tour was only 1 hour. Hearing about the historical aspects of the theatre was interesting. Would have liked to see more backstage and dressing rooms.
