Have you ever thought of Paris as of a copy of another, older place? While being the most beautiful city in the world it is modeled after another, much older city. This private guided walking tour of neoclassical Paris takes you through an area that changed dramatically in the years prior to the French Revolution and makes you understand how the city of Paris is a reflection of the city of Rome. Explore the strict and sober elegance of the neoclassical style at Palais Royal, the Tuileries, the Cour Carré and other important sites.

We had such a wonderful tour with Mila! She was easy to understand, friendly and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed how much she brought art, architecture, history and culture together.

Boris was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun. My daughter and I took the tour and we both enjoyed it very much. He made the information easy to understand and asked questions to get us thinking. I would recommend this tour if you have an interest in historical architecture.
