The opera experience in Milan was truly exceptional. We so admire the planning and care that went into making the 10 days so delightful. La Scala and the production were brilliant. The hotel, meals and cultural outings were perfect and the personal time just right. How fortunate we were to share the experience with interesting, kind and simpatico companions who helped to make the adventure truly unique. All of this would have made our HAT tour memorable but what set it apart and what we will always treasure is Swati and Alister's personal caring, warmth and kindness. The way they looked after all of us, especially Roberta, was a gift. Rest assured we have and will continue to recommend HAT Tours to our friends and acquaintances and hope we can travel with you again. Milan Ring Cycle 2 - 2026
