What To Expect

Palais Garnier

Located in the heart of the French capital, a jewel of architecture proudly stands. One of the most visited buildings in France, a masterpiece that characterizes the whole essence of French art in itself, the grandiose Palais Garnier houses the Paris National Opera. If the impressive building is now rooted in the 2nd Arrondissement, and has turned into one of the most photographed place in France, it once was a mere project that had to face tremendous challenges.

Rita knew how to take us back in time from the first minutes! The visit to the Opéra Garnier was both emotional, informative and humorous, a real pleasure from beginning to end. We learned a lot while having fun. Thank you Rita a thousand times for this magical moment!

This tour was a highlight of my first trip to Paris. The opera house is a jewel. We had a guided tour with Virginia and she was exceptional. She exuded so much pride as a Parisian in the beauty and history of the building and its one-of-a-kind library. I highly recommend visiting the opera house and doing it with a guided 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.

An amazing tour of this beautiful place with Rita, our guide. She is passionate about her profession and shares her passion with visitors. I didn’t see the 2 hours pass. Thanks to her

Be prepared, unless you are first ones in morning, the crowds have now reached the opera. It was actually uncomfortable wading through. Also, crowds made it difficult to hear our private guide.
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.

Guided tour of a group from Pas de Calais: Our guide was Celian, a charming young man, passionate and a "well of knowledge" about this magnificent building that is the Opera Garnier. Célien is the gift of oneself! of some of his knowledge! he presented us with the Building as a Ballet whose every act was a real moment of pleasure and discovery. The time in his company passed so fast, we could stay for hours listening to him... Date of experiment: 14 June 2025
Not worth it- such a shame

Unfortunately the guide was not able to speak English well and the whole tour was hence not worth it . Whilst she seemed nice and was trying, she did not seem adequately prepared and had difficulties with communicating . Some of information was also wrong as we could not believe that a “water tank was made in the building to balance the building “- when we checked this, it was incorrect.
AN excellent tour for history buffs and architectural aficionados.

The building in MAGNIFICENT and far surpassed my wildest dreams of just how beautiful it is. The focus was on the history of the construction and political environment in which it was build. Little to no discussions of the musical aspects. That was highly disappointing, the guide did not even know the opera that was performed at the opening. No "backstage" visits of behind the stage, dressing rooms, etc. The guide was very entertaining with anecdotes and stories, she answered questions and was a delight herself. I'd say the most disappointing part of the tour was the GHASTLY BILLBOARD that totally obscured the building's front facade. It ruined the entire view of the magnificent edifice.
