Wonderful tour

If I could give Claudia 10 stars I would! I booked him through viator after a different tour company canceled my booking. He was available on the only day we could go while in Paris and had good ratings. I knew the tour would be wonderful when he reached out to update me on the tour timing a few days before. I mentioned to him visiting the Opera House was so important for me right now, while going through treatment for cancer, and he was so empathetic. He was very knowledge, gave us lots and lots of info and, if we had a question that he did not know the answer to, he was honest in telling us he didn’t know. He was the perfect blend of informative, friendly, and funny. He was so great that I asked if he was available to give us a tour for the Louvre a few days later and he accommodated!! Would highly, HIGHLY recommend you book Claudio, or his company, for any of the tours they offer!!

Must do!

We had an excellent tour with Claudio. He was easy to meet up with and made the opera house come alive with his stories. We travelled with two teenage boys and everyone really liked it. The opera house was a sight to behold. Definitely worth it!

Wonderful tour and guide of Palais Garnier Paris Opera House.

Claudio was extremely personable and friendly. He provided clear instructions for meeting in advance and welcomed us upon arrival. He was thoughtful, tailoring the tour to our needs and wants of the experience and we are so appreciative that he was able to elaborate on the history of the Palais Garnier Paris Opera House. This is a beautiful building and a fete of architecture for the time. A must see!!

Ask for the guide to visit the opera Garnier

Visit with a guide named Antoine , a marvel of historical stories , architectural contributions, knowledge of the history and life of society at the time , a visit rich in lessons , all accompanied by humor: A treat. I recommend this exceptional guide
