Opéra privé Garnier Théâtre 2 - Visite d'une heure à Paris

This tour was excellent - both informative and entertaining and I would highly recommend it. Mauritizio obviously loves his work and his enthusiasm is infective.

The Opera Palace Garnier is absolutely necessary to see ONE TIME! A Guided Tour is mandatory. Do not try to do it on your own. The price is worth it. We had an English speaking guide who was a "frustrated" actor. He made the tour very enjoyable. It is a large beautiful opera house, but I was extremely surprised how CROWDED it was with tourists and tour groups. If I had been on my own I would have been lost. Of course lots of standing is required until the very end when you can sit in the main theater and see the interior. You do have to go through a "scanner", so no water bottles or food allowed. A TIMED -ENTRY ticket is necessary. The good part is at the end of the tour you are just around the corner from Galleries Lafayette, the big department store where you can go to the 7th floor, up the escalator, and eat some food at the food court and see the Paris skyline from the outdoor rooftop patio.

Our visit to the Opéra Garnier was a real moment of magic, like an enchanted parenthesis. We had the chance to have an incredible meeting with our guide Rita, who knew with passion all his knowledge about the fascinating history of this exceptional place. We had an extraordinary time, rich in discoveries and emotions.

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!

This is the highlight of our trip to Paris. Mauricio was an outstanding guide with charisma, knowledge, and personality

Antoine was perfect for the visit. But it's like you want to see a pool and we can't show you the pool... In this case, the benefit is not complete and a reduction should be granted.

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.

A huge thank you to our guide Antoine, who showed great professionalism throughout the visit. Passionate, he was able to transmit history and anecdotes with enthusiasm, making the discovery even more enriching. We highly recommend this visit!

Wonderful place made even more sublime by our guide Antoine. Excellent, very clear , hyper interesting and humorous and not miserly information.

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.
