  • It is okay tour. However...

    It is okay tour. However people can easily get mort info on line. But Viator really over charged the tickets. People please not get on line to purchase this tour tickets by Viator, but get the ticket on the site. Viator made $15-18 out of the tickets which only sell $30 on the theater site.

  • The poorest experience in BA

    The worst one. They are not on top of things. Mr Lautaro, their contact in BA, never followed up to ensure we received the tickets. The result? We did not get the tickets on time, so we couldn't go on the tour, and we lost $100. Even when aviator people sounded so lovely over the phone.....They prioritize their 3erd party in BA instead of their customers: we. Not even offering us another day to do the tour....... SAD......

  • It's a scam. Buy from the theater directly

    Do not use this "service" is a scam. Not only do they charge you the most expensive tickets (more than double what they leave at the theater) but they don’t even give you the ticket with the time you made the reservation. Not knowing that the schedule was changed from the time you requested when you booked, we entered 15 minutes late and could not make the full tour because we were added to the group as if we had entered schedule. The tour takes in theory 45 minutes (we lost 15, it was 30 minutes nothing more) on this operator's page says it is 1 hour. This is a scam. DO NOT USE IT.

  • Beautiful venue but disappointing

    Bonnie K,,Dec 20, 2025

    The main auditorium was dark the day we went because they we setting up for a performance. They didn't ask if that was acceptable until we were there ready to start the tour having arranged transportation to the venue and planned the day around it etc. When we went in we couldn't really see the main attraction because it was too dark. I think we ahould have been given advance notice. The guide was pleasant. Venue is pretty but fell short of expectations.

  • Poor show

  • Travel agency cancelled...

    Michael M,,Dec 3, 2025

    The day before the tour the Travel agency cancelled the tour claiming that there are protests in the area. They also stated that we will receive a refund within 72 hrs. We went to the specific site of the tour (Teatro Cologne) and saw many tours proceeding as normal. We asked if they had protests in the area. They said all tours were proceeding as normal and no such event happened. We never received the refund in 72 hrs and had to contact Viator to claim the refund. Viatior needs to monitor the activities of such agencies as they appear to cancel tours and never issue refunds.

  • Not falling is a scam

  • Would not recommend - not honest

    Do not book with this agent. The day before we got a notification that the theatre had cancelled all visits due to a protest. This was not true, the agent just hadn't been able to source tickets on the English tour. They offered Spanish instead (which would have also been cancelled!) our concierge checked directly with theatre and all tours going. Fraudsters and now we miss out whereas if we had booked direct would have been fine

    this is effectively a resale that charge you double the actual price of the tickets. No need to buy them through Viator. No need to buy them through Viator
