Very nice tour of the Marais section of Paris. Our tour guide Adrian was very knowledgeable of the area. What's nice is that you can do a 3.5 hour or 7 hour tour and decide which areas of Paris you would like to visit
Our tour guide, Floraine,...
Majeed_B, Nov 2023
Our tour guide, Floraine, was exceptionally pleasant & friendly. My wife and I enjoyed her company very much throughout the day. She took us through the Paris landmarks we had previously arranged with the tour operatorfor. She was a history buff like us and shared with us some elements of French history we didn't know about as we visited various landmarks. She was a caring person and carefully listened to us. I will highly recommend her to anyone with limited time to see great Paris landmarks in one day.
Amazing Tour
