Best music tour guide in Paris. Tours filled with interesting and fun facts and good humour. The best way to explore the unique beauty of Paris and discover its musical and artistic background, that spans centuries. Tour guide is extremely nice and knowledgable, happy to answer any and all questions. Most importantly he tailors the tour to the audience as well, meaning people of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. Could not recommend it more, no matter if it is your first time in Paris or not.

Great experience! Totally recommend it if you are an opera lover! If you are not such a fan of opera, you will still learn many different things from French history and how it was deeply connected to the opera. All this while walking around Paris!

It is lovely to see when someone loves the job he does! That is how I would describe Vojin. This tour is a beautiful immersion into the history of opera. It discovers unknown places and secrets of Paris. Vojin has a very broad knowledge not only about music, but history as well. He is passionate, friendly and a polite entertainer. I highly recommend this experience, not only to music lovers.
