My wife and I participated in the Munich opera tour this past July. We also participated in the Verdi opera tour in Italy the previous year. We were joined on the Munich tour by a very good friend, and a woman from South Africa whom we met for the first time on the tour. All four of us agreed to meet on another HAT opera tour in Scandinavia in 2025. You can tell that we really enjoyed the tour. Following is a little more detail. When we arrived in Munich, we were met by a driver who helped us with luggage and drove us to a Four Seasons Hotel one block away from the Munich opera house. The amenities at the hotel were as one would expect from a luxury hotel, and we were very comfortable there. We met our guide, at the hotel and she could not have been more accommodating to our group. We were very impressed by the level of service our tour manager provided, going beyond that of acting merely as a guide. The operas themselves were a real treat and the singers were phenomenal. I will not go into detail about the music, but we were very happy with the opera experience. Beyond that, we went on tours within and outside the city, with Hildrun showing us wonderful sights and cultural experiences. We were also very pleased with the dining experiences that were provided on the tour, including a farewell dinner at a Michelin starred restaurant. My wife and I highly recommend these opera tours to anyone who loves opera and wants to experience life in different cities.
