Know before you Go: - Please check your email the day before the tour to receive important information. - Please note that the number of attractions depends on the selected option. Admissions to Madeleine Church and the Louvre Museum are not included in the basic 2-hour option. - Palais Garnier is a working opera hall, so tours are limited due to scheduled performances. - Skip-the-line tickets allow you to enter faster without purchasing tickets on the spot, but you may have to wait in line for ticket validation and mandatory security checks. -- Please arrive on time as there are time slots for entry. - Headphones will be provided for groups larger than 7 people in Palais Garnier. - Church tours during mass and special events (such as scheduled concerts) are limited, therefore the guide may provide all information outside. - 5-hour tour only: Due to Louvre regulations, 1 licensed guide can lead a group of 1-6 people, so the price of the tour will be higher if you need more than 1 guide.
