Great tour - Our guide Sebastien was great. He was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. He met us on time. He shared many stories about the area's history and made the tour an easy walking pace for my wife and I. Sebastien was also very accommodating whenever we wanted to take photos. He also had great recommendations on what to see in Paris. And finally he guided us to a great bistro for lunch, in the area, where we had a delicious lunch. Great tour.

Montmartre walk in the morning - Our guide was brilliant. Sebastian spent about 2 hours taking us up the hill to the Sacre Coeur through the maze of streets, showing us his favourite views over Montmartre and telling us the stories behind the places. He is a French- American so had no trouble answering our questions and paced the walk uphill perfectly for us, senior citizens! We thoroughly enjoyed his company and his recommendation for lunch. A great way to find out about an area. Thank you so much Sebastian.
