5.00Truly an enjoyable experience. John wove together history, reality, and imagination to bring The Phantom of the Opera to life in a way that felt both intimate and immersive. Sitting in a small bistro owned by Gaston Leroux’s great-granddaughter, we gained a deeper appreciation for the rich history of Paris, Montmartre, and the story itself.
Loved Tea with The Phantom!

5.00Highly recommend this opportunity to learn so much about details in The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. It was so interesting to learn about the history and architecture of Paris, and how it relates to Gaston Leroux’s novel about The Phantom, as well as the characters and events in the story. It felt special to enjoy this experience in the cafe run by Leroux’s family in the beautiful Montmartre area. Our guide John was so knowledgeable and passionate about the story, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience! I am inspired to re-read the book after learning so much about different elements of the story! Thank you John for a fun experience!
A wonderful experience for anyone!
