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!
