Anatole is excellent - Our family of five were guided by Anatole on Christmas morning. He is personable, humorous, patient and full of historical facts and present-day analogies to keep all entertained. He also knows the city like the back of his hand and is able to offer local knowledge for food, shopping, etc. It was a joyous way to learn a history and get a lay of the city.

Excellent overview of Parisian history and the city highlight - Our tour guide Tamari did an excellent job of giving us an overview of Parisian history and then showing how it’s reflected in the architecture and art of the city. We’re so glad we took this tour early in our visit to Paris so we could have a better understanding of everything we saw the rest of our time there (and to take advantage of our local guide’s recommendations!)

Amazing tour - We had an absolutely amazing experience with Francois. We learned so much about the history of the city and how it came to be today. He also adjusted the tour to focus on topics specifically interesting to us in addition to the planned tour. He was fantastic and we are so grateful for the experience and how much we were able to learn in the 2.5hours. Highly recommend!!!

The perfect way to begin a trip to Paris - We loved learning more about the city's origins and the stories behind important landmarks. Agustina did a great job bringing the city to life -- and giving us tips for how to make the most of the rest of our trip.
