Great tour with lots of interesting information - A great tour with Maria of a popular yet sometimes overlooked neighborhood of Paris. We covered more of Saint Germain than I expected which was a nice surprise. Sometimes with walking tours, I feel like you only really walk a block, but on this tour we actually traversed the neighborhood and saw a lot, which was perfect for me. I learned lots of fun facts that really help go beyond the surface of this wonderful part of Paris!
