2 Hour Private Opera Garnier Guided Tour
Description
The Opera Garnier is maybe the most beautiful building in Paris that’s why it’s also called the Palais Garnier. I’m happy to offer you the possibility to discover and enjoy the beauty of this 19 th century building not simply as a guided tour but as a real travel in time. Charles Garnier, the architect put all his talent to creat a Unique style building starting with the 1860s. But which one? Thé Palais Garnier is not just an Opera House, it’s a temple for the Lyric Arts. Do you know the Unique style is it? Do you know what’s under the stage of the Opera? The building hides a rich history and very interesting stories and anecdotes. Visiting the Palais Garnier i also offer you the possibility to travel in time and feel as parisien of the 1870s period when the Opera Garnier was more a stage for Parisiens than artists. Come with me on a private tour and learn everything about this beautiful Opera House, its history and crusty stories. (Tickets not included-to refund on the tour day)

This was a place we didn't get to visit during our last visit to Paris and we absolutely didn't want to miss. Wow, and what a fantastic place. Even better our guide was super knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful in-depth tour of the Opera. There is no way we would have gotten as much out of this experience without her expertise. This was a do not miss experience.
