This is a must for a visit to Buenos Aires. A globally iconic theater, the tour is valuable and the guide is great at providing context on the jaw-dropping architecture that houses the unique history that has been made in this arena. An acoustic marvel as well for musical people, this is a key piece of BsAs rich culture. If not a show, definitely do this!

We made reservations online for a guided tour in English at 11 am. It was fairly easy to find one of the two entrances where we waited until told to line up. Our guide was pleasant but a bit challenging to hear her at times with our large group and the acoustics in the opera rooms. The inside was very beautifully restored. We were ushered into box seats on one of the upper opera levels to view the main theatre. Unfortunately, they were testing the lighting for an upcoming show so the seating area was darkened and the stage lit up with various colors. We were unable to see much of the seating area or the painted dome above.

Teatro Colon is considered to be one of Buenos Aires's most elegant buildings. It is a world class center for classical music, ballet and opera. Construction began in 1880 and it opened in 1908. Unfortunately, tours of the interior were not available during my stay. I did enjoy admiring the exterior and had a snack (Le Grand Cafe Colon and a mousse duo pastry).

I finally returned to Buenos Aires after three years. I was anxious to show my friend the fabulous theater even though there are no performances during this summer break. The building is beautiful, the renovations perfect,and it is always a treat to view some of the many details that are art themselves. Not to be missed! The only sad detail is that we may no longer tour the basement which stored volumes of costumes and 10 000 pair of shoes as I recall as it spread for blocks underground. But there is a display in Boca of some pieces.

Absolutely unbelievable theater! We had an excellent tour guide! Unfortunately due to summer time there were no productions. However one should not miss the tour. It was interesting, informative and very enjoyable. They have it down to a science so that no group collides into the other, no disruptions. There are either English or Spanish tours. Small enough groups. Suggest booking in advance.

You will love this tour. The place is absolutely amazing. The history behind it just as Amazon. A must see. Especially if you are a musician or choir member. If you love classical music and better yet if you understand the concepts of acoustics.

The place is wonderful and certainly has a lot of history among so much marble with a French atmosphere. The guided tour is way too expensive for what it offers. At times the presentation was not about the theater... I expected to see the stage area... maybe dressing room area... The place is very beautiful and what was seen on the visit can be seen if you buy a ticket for some presentation.

This magnificent theatre was built in 1908-09 and recently underwent a massive restoration. It is so definitely worth a visit! You will need to book a tour. They do them in Spanish and English. On the only day we could go the only tour was in Spanish and we took it anyway as that's the only way you can look through the building. Our tour guide soon realised we weren't Spanish speaking, and she did a lovely job of briefly explaining key points to us in English. The building's interior is impressive, and the restoration means everything is in beautiful condition. One of the things that most impressed us was the fact that it was a very, very hot day and they have managed to air-condition a building with massively high ceilings. The outer rooms and corridors are beautiful, and you will be taken into the boxes to sit for a while during part of the tour. There is a very attractive cafe opposite the box office area where you buy tickets for the tours. Everyone was helpful and pleasant. Well worth a visit.

There was no availability through the online bookings, I therefore went in person to the Teatro Colon and got an admission for the fraction of the suggested tour price. The guide was monotonous with long useless explanations. But the interiors are totally magnificent and spectacular... glad I found my way in! Paul Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦

Spectacular and beautiful theater. Tour was about 45 minutes and worth it, even if you are English speaking and have to do the Spanish tour. If you want an English tour make sure to get there before the end of the day, as the last English tour was 4 PM or maybe a little before.
