Really liked taking a private tour. Our guide listened to what we were interested in seeing and made this a wonderful experience. The Marc Chagall ceiling is a must see!

We had a private visit with Nick as our tour guide inside the beautiful Opera Garnier. Nick was very attentive and provided us with a lot of interesting info on the architecture, specific places within the Opera and other unexpected details making our tour enjoyable and educational. I would recommend this tour with Nick.

Guide was knowledgeable and helpful for what we could see. We didn’t have access to the auditorium itself, which was the main event for us.
