History repeats and transforms ! - I was with a mother-daughter duo from Germany where the mother told me that she wanted to bring her daughter on this tour to show her all the opportunities that laid before her thanks to the women of the past, to remind the young woman of all her strength not because inequality or oppression no longer exists but that women time after time have overcome them. Thanks to the honest sincerity of our informative and funny guide and the stories she shared, I believe that the 3 of us left with not only the warmth of solidarity but pride.

A wonderful afternoon with history and beauty combined - Yesterday was a perfect afternoon for Thai tour and Pat our knowledgeable and fun tour guide added to the weather and ambiance of the afternoon. We enjoyed Luxembourg Gardens and all her historical facts and how she presented the stories to us. She was a total pleasure and ending with Madam Curie in the Latin quarter. I loved this tour as unknown history to us. She was a considerate warm storyteller and a pleasure to have experienced this history from her. Thank you also for being a kind person to my sister who had difficulty walking. Best wishes continuing this tour.

Interesting tour from a women's perspective - An interesting interactive 2 hour plus walking tour which taught me more about the women of history in Paris. It was mainly around the Luxembourg Gardens, St Germain and Latin Quarter areas.

All about the women- - Just finished this interesting tour and loved it. What a good idea to tell the story of the women who have done great things but often without recognition. Thank you to our lovely guide who found us shelters from the rain along the way and was able to answer our many questions. A mother and daughter.
