“For our Italy trip, we booked 4-5 excursions. This was probably my least favorite. I felt it wasn’t very organized—-more like you bought a ticket for the concert and dinner was included at a nearby restaurant. The food was ok. In hindsight, I would still go to the concert but maybe have dinner at a nicer restaurant. The cost would’ve been about the same.”

8.The Three Tenors in Concert Nessun Dorma

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 190 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $42

Spend about 90 minutes at an evening concert in Florence, where three tenors perform opera favorites and Neapolitan songs with piano, cello, and mandolin. The 8:30 pm show is listed at the Auditorium Santo Stefano al Ponte Vecchio. Choose a seating category when booking, but the theater assigns your seat.

“Awesome show. Incredible talent and capabilities, and a fair bit of fun during the evening to make it memorable for sure. The three tenors were in full tux and with great accompaniment for the evening. Definitely a few times where you could hear audible gasps from the audience. I would recommend the VIP seats up front or the A seats at the front if you want a full experience. For the extra money, it is worth it.”
