Our guide was fantastic, sharing rich history and stories of Paris along the way. The scenic walk, travelling by train like locals, and even the long staircase to the meeting point made it feel authentic and memorable. We didn’t get to visit inside Notre Dame as it was being rebuilt, but the experience was still wonderful. Visiting the medieval quarter and Sainte-Chapelle, which I had been so excited to see, was absolutely beautiful. A truly special Parisian experience.

Our guide was Hugo. He had incredible knowledge and willingly shared with our group! He gave us references and suggested authors and books when questions arose. This tour with Hugo made our trip to Paris worthwhile!

Adam was a wealth of knowledge. He gave us incredible insight and information on all of the locations we visited and the history. Although many times I’ve been on tours where they spit out information, he used it to tell a story and really got us intrigued in everything that he was telling us.
