Perfect! Napoleon History. - Perfect! 5 Stars! Cecile was our host and EXPERT, the Chef, the Boss. (For me) I enjoyed 2 hours + of time with Cecile and a family from Pittsburgh USA. Our guide was on time, patient, extremely smart and very quick with dates and history. Simply could not have been any better!

Happy customers - My husband and I booked the trip due to our particular interest in history. Our guide Florian was extremely informative and thorough. You can tell that he’s very passionate about what he does and has a deep knowledge on the subject as he was able to answer all our questions with great detail. Getting the excursion and learning about the Musee des invalides and Musee d’army was an absolute game-changer and time well-spent! Thank you :)
