10 out of 10 experience

John was phenomenal and very knowledgeable about the history of the Phantom of the Opera. We enjoyed every minute of the experience. My husband, who didn't know much about the play, enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend anyone to attend, even if you haven't seen it!

A wonderful experience for anyone!

A wonderful and memorable experience in Paris! The setting, connected to Gaston Leroux’s family, created the perfect atmosphere for discussing The Phantom of the Opera. Our guide was reallt nice, and we really enjoyed learning not only about the musical but also about the history and architecture of Paris. Highly recommended and we’d love to come back again!
