Your Personal Guide in Paris

5.00Annie Sargent's Voice Map tour of Saint Germain des Prés is an absolute delight. It guides you through everything from Philip August's (1165-1223) old city wall to the steps used for Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris movie. You can stop and wander off to a cafe and resume again, so it is better than a live guide. Annie presents a smooth and knowledgeable experience at a great price. I highly recommend.
Great self guided tour

5.00So fun and so much to see in this part of the city. Voicemap tours are such a great way to learn more about what you are seeing without breaking the bank for a personal tour. You have flexibility in stopping and starting and I listened to them before going to have a little preview. I would have missed so much without this tour. I love the Join Us in France podcast, facebook group and Annie is a wealth of knowledge. I just bought one of her new ones for my next trip.
Like visiting with a knowledgeable friend

5.00We love Annie’s voice map tours! They’re a great way to get more background about an area, but with the ability to start and stop them if we want to visit a cafe or we get sidetracked. They’re such a small investment in our travel and are so worthwhile!
A stroll in Saint Germain des Pres with Annie as your guide-hands free!

5.00I love Annie's tours-all of them. I listen to them and home and sometimes look up some the sites. Then while in Paris, I take the tour. Annie's tours are great because you can start and stop the tour along the way and begin at any point in the tour. I love the maps and being able to see the neighborhoods hands free. This area is filled with historic sites, restaurants and boutiques. Don't miss it.
Best way to get to know the area!

5.00I love Annie’s tours. They are fun, full of information, and easy to follow. I thought I knew Saint Germain pretty well but Annie’s tour showed me things I had never noticed.
Best St Germain self guided walking tour

5.00I’ve been to Paris many times and I still learned a ton on this walking tour on the left Bank with Annie Sargent. Loads of interesting information and fun places to stop along the way.
