Absolute highlight of our trip.
I think I felt a little hokey signing up for this tour (I wasn't a drama kid and am not necessarily into opera) but I signed up because one of our group is into musicals. Our tour began in the touristy town square of Montmartre but our guide (with unabashed fluttery wings) took us to so many cool places off the beaten path: a hidden crypt, a large church where she played with the acoustics with her amazing voice (really truly, she has a voice of pure beauty), town gardens, epic vistas and hidden nooks. And she had so many neat stories and songs (told in English or French to accommodate the group) and such passion for the neighborhood. Our group of five, ranging from 8 to 70, all enjoyed the tour. This was everyone's highlight from of our long weekend in Paris (and certainly was not as expensive or as generic as a big bus or large commercial tour).
My sense is the tour would be ideal for teens or adults who are into music or art and can walk for ~2 hours.
Very special and highly recommend. :)
