An amazing tour with great views
annmarieo787, Jul 2025
This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Peter, really knew his stuff and the tour was a great way to orientate ourselves in the city. It enabled us to see all the places that were on our list (plus more) - the view of the Eiffel Tower from The Tuileries was my favourite and probably one I would never have found by myself. There were only six people on the tour so this gave it a really personal feel. I would definitely recommend.
A gentle stroll through the history of France based near Notre Dame
Hotflush, Jul 2025
I was lucky enough to be the only one on this small group tour and I had the best time. I know Paris quite well but don’t know much French history. This really was the right amount of information. I enjoyed being taken away from the crowds a little bit and I retraced our steps after the tour to ensure I remember some of the special places. Peter was a considerate guide and gave me plenty of time for questions. Very happy to recommend this tour.
