The highlight of my trip!

Published on Aug, 2018

I can't say enough good things about this tour and Ana--she knows so much and her enthusiasm for the subject was infectious! I did a solo tour and it felt like walking around the city with a friend--she answered all of my questions, made suggestions for future visits, and was all around one of the best tour guides I've ever had. The tour itself (which she developed) was amazing--such a great way to learn about famous women of Paris who get short shrift on many other tours. Again: this tour was really the highlight of my trip!

Published on May, 2018

Both fun and historically accurate, a lot of walk but the great cocktail at the end is then well deserved.
