Good to know

- Bring a Camera: You’ll want to capture the stunning sets and detailed costumes. The tour offers great photo opportunities, so don’t forget your camera or phone.
- Ask the Guides Questions: The expert guides are full of information about the shows and their history. Feel free to ask any questions about the filming process, set design, or even the actors.
- Be Ready for the Costumes: If you’re interested in trying on the costumes, keep in mind that there’s an extra fee. It’s a fun experience, but it’s best to decide in advance!
- Enjoy the Lunch Break: The lunch is included, so take your time to relax and refuel for the second part of the tour. You’ll be exploring for several hours, so the break is a great chance to recharge.
