The tour of the opera house was very informative, but felt a little rushed. The singing performance at the end was a nice touch, but would have been nicer if there was some place to sit. I have trouble standing for long periods, and standing for the performance after the tour was difficult.

Recomendable pero hay demasiados grupos con lo que el tiempo apremia. La guía iba acompañada de un guía de la ópera y fue ayudándola con comentarios curiosos. Ambos amables, pero con poco tiempo para hacer fotos. Solo puedes pasar por donde ellos dicen. Al final de tour una pequeña exhibición excelente. Translate this opinion into English.

Recommended but there are too many groups so time is short. The guide was accompanied by an opera guide who helped her with interesting comments. Both were friendly, but there was little time for taking photos. You can only go where they say. At the end of the tour there was an excellent small exhibition. Opinion translated. Show original.

La guia creo que ha estado puesta como improvisada, constantemente tenia de ir preguntando a una chica de la opera yvtrdiciciendo que tenia de decir, ademas de ir todo el rato bastante deprisa , porque habia otro grupo detras La opera expectacular pero todo a toda prisa… Translate this opinion into English.

I think the guide was improvised, I constantly had to ask a girl from the opera and tell her what she had to say, in addition to going very quickly all the time, because there was another group behind The spectacular opera but everything in a hurry... Opinion translated. Show original.

La ópera es un edificio fantástico pero la visita guiada no ha estado bien porque había varios grupos dentro del auditorio y se molestaban unos a otros. Los grupos son demasiado grandes y aunque la guía intentaba hacerse entender, no siempre era posible debido a tanta gente. Me parece un precio excesivo por lo que se ofrece Translate this opinion into English.

The opera house is a fantastic building but the guided tour was not good because there were several groups inside the auditorium and they were disturbing each other. The groups are too big and although the guide tried to make himself understood, it was not always possible due to so many people. I think it is an excessive price for what is offered.

El edificio es bien bonito, e incluso la guía cumple por los pelos con la exposición. Pero no es de recibo que los grupos de diferentes idiomas se junten en un recinto de pocos metros cuadrados (no había quien se enterase). El concierto en vivo bonito y para abrir apetito se acepta pero no es de recibo dejar a todos los grupos hacinados en las escaleras.

The building is very nice, and even the guide barely meets the requirements of the exhibition. But it is not acceptable that groups of different languages should be together in a room of only a few square metres (no one could tell). A live concert that is nice and whets the appetite is acceptable, but it is not acceptable to leave all the groups crammed together on the stairs.

Esto depende de la organización del propio lugar de visita. Nuestro equipo local se esfuerza en que la experiencia sea lo más cómoda posible. Sentimos que no haya sido el caso. Translate this opinion into English.

La visita nos gusto mucho, Quizas seria conveniente indicar en el bono que éste sirve como entrada. Al igual que en otras actividades esperas encontrar a un.a persona que te indique y no había nadie, tuvimos que preguntar a los empleados de la opera pero algunos no sabían nada, hasta que preguntamos a una persona y nos dejó pasar sin pedir nada. Translate this opinion into English.

We really enjoyed the visit. Perhaps it would be a good idea to indicate on the voucher that it serves as an entrance. As with other activities, you expect to find a person who will direct you, but there was no one. We had to ask the employees of the opera but some of them didn't know anything, until we asked a person and he let us in without asking for anything. Opinion translated. Show original.

encuentro que la información que nos brindó la guía no era sobresaliente. Deberían considerar que fuera un grupo menor al hacer estas visitas ya que costaba escuchar del todo (éramos casi 30). Al final se termina la visita con una pequeña muestra de alguna ópera Translate this opinion into English.

I found that the information provided by the guide was not outstanding. They should consider having a smaller group when doing these visits since it was difficult to listen to everything (there were almost 30 of us). At the end the visit ends with a small sample of some opera. Opinion translated. Show original.

Al principio estábamos un poco perdidos, porque no hay nadie controlando el acceso o informando en la entrada (al menos no cuando entramos nosotros) y nuestra guía tampoco nos decía si la teníamos que seguir por las escaleras o no. Iba abriendo puertas, pero sin decir nada. Después, la verdad, que ha sido muy buena guía. Nos ha enseñado todo y dado mucha información. El edificio es bonito por fuera, pero espectacular por dentro. Visita obligada Translate this opinion into English.

At first we were a little lost, because there is no one controlling access or informing us at the entrance (at least not when we entered) and our guide also did not tell us if we should follow her up the stairs or not. He was opening doors, but without saying anything. Afterwards, the truth is, it has been a very good guide. He has taught us everything and given us a lot of information. The building is beautiful on the outside, but spectacular on the inside. Must visit Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita fue estupenda, muy interesante. Lo que no entendí muy bien fue que el concierto de 10 minutos tuviera lugar en la escalera, con el público sentado en los escalones, unos con visibilidad y otros no. Me pareció un poco cutre. El hecho de que en el escenario del auditorio estuvieran montando un decorado, no lo justifica, ya que dos cantantes en directo y una música grabada podrían haber actuado ante el telón sin interferir en el trabajo de los operarios. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit was great, very interesting. What I didn't understand very well was that the 10-minute concert took place on the stairs, with the audience sitting on the steps, some with visibility and others not. It seemed a little tacky to me. The fact that they were setting up a set on the auditorium stage does not justify it, since two live singers and recorded music could have performed before the curtain without interfering with the work of the operators.

Ya el sitio es espectacular, pero además la guía que nos ha ido contando la historia y curiosidades de la ópera, nos la ha narrado super claro y muy ameno; pero el colofón ha sido la mini obra de una soprano y un tenor que ha sido la guinda del tour. En resumen, una experiencia sublime para aquellos que le guste el arte. Translate this opinion into English.

The site is already spectacular, but also the guide who has been telling us the history and curiosities of the opera, has told it to us super clearly and very entertaining; but the culmination has been the mini work of a soprano and a tenor that has been the icing on the cake of the tour. In short, a sublime experience for those who like art. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad me ha gustado muchísimo. Se nota la reforma reciente y es absolutamente recomendable. Si acaso indicar que debería ponerse un tope al número de gente. La visita que me tocó tenía un notable exceso de personas, lo que afectaba al ritmo, pese a la inestimable entrega de la guía, que lo hizo bastante bien. Translate this opinion into English.

I liked the activity very much. The recent renovation is noticeable and is absolutely recommended. If anything, indicate that a limit should be placed on the number of people.

Visita muy amena, la ópera es impresionante y la guía nos contó muchos detalles, al finalizar vimos en directo 5 min de una ópera. El único pero la masificación de gente. El resto de grupos de otros idiomas no iban más de 10 pero el grupo en español éramos como 40 y se hacía un poco complicado Translate this opinion into English.

Very enjoyable visit, the opera is impressive and the guide told us many details, at the end we saw 5 minutes of an opera live. The only thing but the overcrowding of people. The rest of the groups of other languages were no more than 10, but the group in Spanish had about 40 of us and it was a bit complicated. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad se realiza con el propio personal de la Opera. No merece la pena pagar un extra por esta actividad. Se pueden comprar las entradas perfectamente, esperar en el corner señalado para grupos en Español, y dejarte llevar por la guía de la Opera. Estuvo muy bien el final, en el que hubo una actuación en directo. Muy emocionante.

The activity is carried out with the Opera's own staff. It is not worth paying extra for this activity. You can buy tickets perfectly, wait in the corner marked for groups in Spanish, and let yourself be guided by the Opera guide. The ending was very good, in which there was a live performance. Very exciting.

El lugar es muy bonito, merece la pena conocerlo por dentro mientras que la guía te contaba los detalles. Al final tuvimos 10 minutos de concierto en directo. Por poner algún pero es que la visita se hace cortísima, por todo lo demás fue genial y la guía muy agradable. Translate this opinion into English.

Bonita visita, la guía nos explicó todo muy bien, únicamente no me gustó el sitio desde donde vimos los 10 minutos de ópera, unos asomados en la planta de arriba, otros sentados en las escaleras de abajo..., teníamos que haber estado en el patio de butacas. Translate this opinion into English.

Nice visit, the guide explained everything to us very well, I just didn't like the place from where we saw the 10 minutes of the opera, some leaning on the top floor, others sitting on the stairs below..., we should have been in the stalls. Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente, me presente quince minutos antes de la hora, en el Hall de entrada y nos colocamos junto a una bandera que indica grupo en español. A la hora indicada enseñamos nuestra entrada y pasamos hacer la visita. Importante: Hubo personas que se quedaron sin entrar porque no habían reservado su entrada previa (en taquilla no quedaban). Si quieres asegurarte un día y una hora, reserva!!! Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent, I showed up fifteen minutes before the time, in the entrance hall and we stood next to a flag that indicates group in Spanish. At the indicated time we show our ticket and proceed to visit. Important: There were people who were left without entering because they had not reserved their ticket in advance (there were no tickets left at the box office). If you want to ensure a day and time, book!!! Opinion translated. Show original.

Primero me cancelaron mi reservación original, la tuve que mover más temprano. Pero lo que realmente no estuvo muy bien es que nos juntaron con varios grupos, había demasiada gente en el mismo grupo! No se podía apreciar muy bien todo el lugar debido a la cantidad de personas que éramos! Necesitan ser grupos más reducidos, baja la calidad de apreciación del lugar! Translate this opinion into English.

First they canceled my original reservation, I had to move it earlier. But what really wasn't very good is that they put us together with several groups, there were too many people in the same group! You couldn't see the whole place very well due to the number of people there were! They need to be smaller groups, the quality of appreciation of the place decreases! Opinion translated.

La Opera de Hungría es un monumento único por fuera y por dentro, es impresionante y merece la pena verlo. La actuación fue espectacular. El problema es que durante el tour no escuchábamos a la guía porque coincidió a la misma vez que otro tour en inglés y se solapaban las explicaciones.

The Hungarian Opera House is a unique monument inside and out, it is impressive and worth seeing. The performance was spectacular. The problem is that during the tour we did not listen to the guide because it coincided with another tour in English and the explanations overlapped.

En la Opera estaban preparando el escenario los trabajadores ,normal porque había una ópera esa misma tarde noche,,había otro grupo de otra nacionalidad,,se mezclaban voces de nuestra guía,los trabajadores y la guía del otro grupo,,....conclusión, nos enteramos poco, nuestra guía tenía otro grupo y nos dejó abandonado viendo la representación de 10 minutos de fragmentos de ópera

At the Opera the workers were preparing the stage, normal because there was an opera that same afternoon, there was another group of another nationality, the voices of our guide, the workers and the guide of the other group were mixed,... In conclusion, we found out little, our guide had another group and left us abandoned watching the 10-minute performance of opera fragments
