Paris Opera House
This is a very good tour. Our guide, Emilie, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She gave us the history of the Opera House and little trivia tidbits. She really knows her stuff! I think we could have stayed longer but the building was closing.
Emilie took into account that one of our group had a difficult time with stairs so she made sure we took the elevator.

Mauritzio is a wonderful guide!
We were so lucky to have Mauritzio as our tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and presents art and architectural history in a fast-paced and humorous manner. Two hours flew by. I’m so glad we had him to guide us so we could more fully experience this incredible landmark!

Unbelievable Opera House Tour
Our tour was amazing and the gentleman who showed us through the opera house was super knowledgeable, energetic, and a lot of fun to be around. He told us stories and pointed out things we would’ve never seen or understood without him with us and I would recommend that anyone who reads this sign up for this tour.

Review of tour.
She was very good, extensive knowledge, and wanted to share.
This has nothing to do with your guide, but not sure why I had to enter at least 100 characters on a review.

The only way to properly...
The only way to properly see the Garnier Opera House is with a private guided tour, and our guide, Lulianna was excellent!

A Magical Immersive Experience
This was the highlight of our annual Paris trip. Maurizio transformed our visit to Palais Garnier into something truly magical, guiding us as if we were attending a performance as a Duke and Duchess in the 1870s.
He brought the drama, intrigue, and rich history of the opera house vividly to life - from its original concept and construction challenges to the fascinating legends and opening-night excitement. He revealed the “why” behind every intricate detail - the architectural flourishes, hidden symbols, and design choices I would have completely overlooked without his extraordinary insight and storytelling.
His depth of knowledge, passion, and ability to transport us through time made the experience unforgettable.

Worth the trip, just a little long
The Opera is an incredibly beautiful building that should be visited when touring Paris (or see a show if possible). The private tour certainly helped make the visit more enjoyable and worthwhile by learning more details, but it was a little long for our 10 and 12 year old kids, who after about an hour were in tough shape. I’d recommend going 1.5 hours at most with a family and the entire building can be toured in that time.

Fantastic guide and must visit site in Paris whether you are an Opera fan or not.
This was a place we didn't get to visit during our last visit to Paris and we absolutely didn't want to miss. Wow, and what a fantastic place. Even better our guide was super knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful in-depth tour of the Opera. There is no way we would have gotten as much out of this experience without her expertise. This was a do not miss experience.
