The online service was easy to use with quick results. The reminder was a nice touch with weather, travel suggestions and currency. The voucher was really accepted.

The tour heightened my appreciation for the Opera house, especially that I am already a fan of "The Phantom of the Opera". Our guide, Marion, was very knowledgable about the whole opera house and I appreciate that she actually had a tablet supplement for additional pictures. The Opera house is well preserved and it is amazing how it is still functioning up to this date. Would definitely recommend getting the tour!

Fantastic tour; easy to book & to understand where to be and when. On this tour I fell so deeply in love with the opera house that i purchased four tickets to the ballet at the operahouse for that night! Felt fortunate that the tickets were available, and that i'd been on the tour, which ingited my interest!

The tour guide, AneSophia, made it so interesting. I especially loved hearing the real story of the Phantom and the myth of the Phantom. She explained in detail the architectural features of the King and the Queen's boxes too. All in all, a great tour.

?We are very satisfied with the Opera Garnier historical cites by your help.
Only one to inform you is that we reserved the tour guide vourcher
but we must have a line at the entrance reception as the people without voucher.
So we must wait for getting the ticket for a longer time as those peoples.
That is the problem of the Opera, not you, I believe.
Separate the line between peoples with voucher and without voucher.
Please propose to the Opera , I hope.

Thank you in advance

The guide was very informative and entertaining. Wished we could have seen the lakes below the Opera as part of the tour.

Site magnifique, incontournable. Le guide nous a plongé dans l'histoire et la vie de cet opéra et nous a fait partager sa passion. On a eu la chance de voir brièvement une répétition et donc un bout de la salle et son plafond.
Il ne manque plus qu'à assister à une représentation !

Indispensable d'avoir un guide pour visiter l'Opéra, comme souvent d'ailleurs pour des sites d'exception. Notre guide nous a fait vivre les conditions de la construction, l'ambiance, avec les nouveaux riches arrivant dans leurs calèches, montant les marches pour rejoindre leurs loges réservées à l'année. L'ensemble est monumental, les scènes mythologiques captivantes (à condition d'avoir les explications, ce qui a été notre cas). Finalement, l'essentiel n'est pas la scène proprement dite, que nous n'avons qu'à travers une vitre pour cause de répétition en cour, mais les salles attenantes, qui sont exceptionnelles dans les dimensions, les dorures, les sculptures, sans parler de l'escalier monumental, impressionnant avec ses marbres de provenances multiples, voulu par Garnier pour offrir des nuances de couleurs multiples.

I first wanted to visit the Opera by myself with an audioguide but this would have been a huge mistake! Our guide had a great sense of humour and was so informative, giving us plenty of details and anecdotes about the construction of the Opera, its history, the people, the incredible paintings and architecture and so much more! After the guided tour, which lasted for 1 hour and a half, you can stay as long as you want in the Opera to go back to the rooms visited and take more pictures.
I highly recommend to pay a few more Euros for a guided tour.

Ticket collection was a shambles.
There should be 2 desks. One for pre-booked, and one for buying on the day.
Otherwise a very good and interesting tour.

Good tour of this fabulous Icon. Saw the ornate foyer, the theatre with Marc Chagal painted dome and the fantastic hall to rival the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. The tour guide explained the importance of the theatre, a place to see and be seen.

Just fabulous! Breathtaking! Must have a tour guide so that it can all be explained properly. The guide I had made it all come to life for me. Next time I must make a point of watching a performance! Thank you for having this tour available for the public. Go on line to see photos but no comparison to see everything in person.

We had seen many pictures, on line of the Palais Garnier, so our expectations were high. What we saw on the tour far exceeded our expectations. The splendor of the Palais begs the question, Who were these people who conceived of and actually created this magnificent structure? The tour guide was a font of information that breathed life into each new room we entered. It was an experience that will not soon be forgotten.
