      Opera house tour
      Lilia_G, Apr 2024
      Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the architecture and history to life. Highly recommend our guide Mauricio. Excellent
      The absolute best
      gmguardino, Oct 2023
      For those that want to really experience the all of a beautiful historical site Maurizio went way over the top.! He not only describes in detail what you are observing and appreciating, but also delivers the history and secrets that most of us would never know. He must eat drink and sleep his subject. His presentation is very personal.
      Superb, engaging, entertaining and knowledgeable

      We took other guided tours in Paris and this was, by far, the best. Maurizio, our tour guide, was amazing. My wife and I took the tour with my two kids, 10 and 13 year old. Maurizio was very knowledgeable and engaging with my kids. We learned so much about the opera and had a great time. There was some acting to reinforce some of the information which made the tour very fun. I typically do not write reviews, but went out of my way to write this one because of the superb tour.
      A Great Guide Makes for a Great Tour

      Mauricio was both knowledgeable and passionate about the Palace Garnier. He weaves the history of the Palace with the time in which it was built, pointing out things we would have missed without him. I would highly recommend this tour.

      We really enjoyed our tour with Maurizio. What an interesting and fascinating guide. He made these magnificent buildings come to life! A beautiful addition to our Parisian experience.

      I could not find my guide even though I was there early and walked around and around for almost in hour looking for her. I called twice and got an answerering machine. I went on in and bought a ticket to take my own tour. As I waited, she called and said Where are you? She came on in and was going to take me on the tour. Then there was trouble with the tickets. The Opera gave her the wrong tickets and we had to go back and straighten all of that out. Finally we got in and bottom line is that the 2 hour tour of the Opera and Galeries Lafayette turned into an hour for both of them. We rushed through the Opera and then she walked me over and into the Galeries Lafayette, took me to the perfume counter that I asked for, and left me there as her time was up. The guide was, however, very knowledgeable and fun to be with once we got together. I think the problem was that she might have been there in the crowd, but as I looked and looked, I did not see anyone who appeared to be a guide and apparently she did not see me walking aorund and around looking at everyone. The badge, as it turned out, was hanging around her neck, but not very obvious. I paid for 2 tickets, but it turned out to be just me. If there had been more people with questions, It would not have worked. I suggest. More obvious badge.

      Hello, our guides are always at the designated spot in time and when they do not see the customers, they call to see if they are lost or late. Since you arrived one hour before the tour, of course you could not have seen the guide, because it was too early :) All our guides wear a badge.
