Eating Paris on the go. - Getting to go into a restaurant and sit to enjoy the food experience was the best, eating while standing on the street with pigeons vying for every crumb was not as enjoyable although the food was good. Lulu was our guide and she was good but soft spoken for my very HOH husband. She did explain why we stopped at our stops, and talked about the food and culture. She answered questions and was quite enjoyable to be with as our host. We really liked her.

Can you guess all the answers on the tour? - The tour guide kept asking the participants questions instead of telling us information. When I asked her to tell us information instead of asking us questions, her response was, “that’s how I give my tour, and I’m not changing”. And this is why she was unsuccessful as a teacher. If I am paying $131 for a tour, then I am interested in getting information on the history and its origins..:the tour is about your customers, not your ego. She eventually took a more interactive approach in the middle of the tour.
