Great intro to Paris!

5.00What an excellent tour, Lou was phenomenal! As a history teacher, I was so excited to see the parts of Paris connected to the French Revolution during my first time visiting. Lou was very informative, detailed, and empathetic when discussing the real people and events involved in what helped create the Paris we have today. It's a great introduction to a very important part of the city and it's immersive! I highly recommend, whether you're looking to learn about Paris or just get a guided tour around significant areas of the city with a little extra detail!

5.00We booked this walking tour last minute and are SO glad we did! Lou was a fantastic tour guide and was such a trooper continuing the tour in the pouring rain. We learned a ton about the area relative to the French Revolution and were given lots of local recommendations of other things to see and do. Would absolutely book a tour with this company again, well worth it!
