Adam the Magnificent - I thought we were having a treat just coming to Paris. Turns out Adam was the biggest surprise of all. Myself, my mom and my two girls (11 and 13) took a semi private day tour with Adam. His expertise and knowledge made this tour one to remember forever. He made every stop special. His expert knowledge of art, especially Van Gogh, made my family look at art through a whole new lense. I will forever wish Adam was with me when I go to another art museum. We also enjoyed the rich knowledge of churches that he shared with us. We learned so much in this one day. Adam left us wishing we had more time with him. He is charismatic, highly intelligent, knowledgeable, witty, and charming. Next time we are in Paris we will be booking as many tours as we can with Adam!

Best tour we’ve ever been on - Adam was an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide that created an excellent experience on this tour. Every minute of the tour was insanely good and worked well for all ages. By the end of the tour we learnt so much about so many amazing places in Paris, starting at montmartre, continuing in Musée dé orsee, and ending at Notre Dame. As soon as the tour ended we cancelled all our planned tours to have Adam as our tour guide for the rest of our stay in Paris. #teamadamforever

The most engaging tour guide we have ever had in Europe - We have attended MANY tours across Europe, and I would say that having Adam as our tour guide through Montmartre and the Museum D'Orsay was by far the best, bar none. He is engaging and hilarious, and has a manner of summarizing art and history in a memorable fashion that leaves you walking away with a better in-depth understanding of the backstory behind aspects of architecture, paintings, historical figures, and artists. For instance, I have never (for the life of me) been able to retain much during tours of art museums. However, he taught our group how to tell the difference between works by Manet, Monet, and Renoir -- something I've been able to recall long beyond the tour itself (to my surprise, knowing myself). I also enjoyed hearing about the seedy history of Montmartre and the various shenanigans of the impressionist artists living there. Most importantly, he was able to make the tour interesting enough that my young kids (age 4 and 6) were able to remain engaged for a full-day tour. A FULL DAY WALKING TOUR, without any tantrums. Mindblowing. I am certain that his background as a professor at a local university with a graduate degree helps in presenting information in an digestible fashion. If I had known ahead of time, I would have booked his other tours for the remainder of our time in Paris. The next time we return, we will DEFINITELY be booking his other tours.
