Anja was amazing. Her knowledge of Napoleon and French history was incredible. Anja’s expertise really exposed us to several different perspectives of such a dynamic, complex individual. This tour has inspired me to read a Napoleon biography.

This tour was 'a dream come' true!
The tour on of its own was a very interesting topic, but furthermore our tour guide, Mr. Olivier was the one who made it a dream come true. He was so well informed on all aspects of the tour. Not to mention that he was so patient in answering the hundreds of questions we made of topic. He was kind, generous and explained everything clearly. This tour is a must see in Paris. We are looking forward going to other tours with Mr. Olivier such as Versailles, louvre, among others
