Overall rating

The opera house is just beautiful but probably should’ve gone earlier in the morning to avoid the crowds. Definitely glad I went though and it’s worth viewing. The line to get in seems long but it goes by pretty fast.

Easy purchase. However the "with optional cruise" was a bit misleading. I don't recall having to select the cruise which apparently is a cost added. We ended up having to buy the cruise in Paris.

If you visit Paris this is the best way to see the city. You can watch its historical monuments and spend quality time in each one of them. I strongly recommend it!

A must-see attraction when visiting Paris especially for art and music lovers

Very easy to catch the bus. Stops are visabke and easy to find
