Le donne di Parigi - Pat was a very knowledgeable guide and we had a very great time with her discovering a bit of the history of Paris through her famous -but sometimes underestimated - women! Thank you for a very good time!

Women of Paris Tour - A very enjoyable way to spend a morning learning about some of the great women in the history of Paris. Pat was our excellent guide on a lovely relaxed and well paced browse around the 6th arrondissement and Latin Quarter. She was a wealth of knowledge and shared insights into the many interesting and influential women who helped to shape Paris and the world. I would highly recommend booking on this tour as it is fascinating to hear about the rich cultural influence of some very important women.

Emily is a fantastic tour guide. - Emily was an absolutely phenomenal tour guide. We learnt so much, she had a great vibe, and was SO educated. Could not recommend this tour more. Book if you’re interested in learning more about Paris than they teach in the history books.

Women Getting the Representation They Deserve - As a French history enthusiast, this tour filled in the missing parts from the stories: women! Heidi has done her research in putting together this pleasant walk, which shows how each key female figure wielded power in her era. She does a great job of creating connections, both among the tour participants and the historical characters.

Interesting histories and a lovely walk - Highly recommend this tour! Lovely morning walking tour with our guide Pat. I enjoyed the histories, some names I recognized but mostly the people and stories were new to me. Pat was great guide. She added lots of interesting color and tidbits to the historical figures. Great way to spend a couple of hours.

Excellent introduction to the true influence women had centuries ago - Emily was wonderful. She answered questions and provided so much information. Things I didn’t know. I really thing you should write a book with all the information you’ve collected. More women need to know the real facts. Our ancestors have been kept in the background not getting acknowledged for the difference they truly made.

Such a special experience in Paris, very much recommend! - This tour was such a special experience in Paris. I absolutely loved all the stories of influential and fearless women we heard - especially those about Simone Veil and her extraordinary life journey and impact on the lives of many women in France as well as much-more-than-the-basic-facts about Marie Curie! Our tour guide Emily was SO wonderful. She created a lovely atmosphere and her humor was just amazing. Also, Emily created a space where we felt free to ask questions, and I did ask many haha, and in the way she answered them, it was clear she is very passionate about the subject. 10/10 recommend!
