Paris: Eiffel Tower Local Food Tour with Oysters, Cheese & Wine
Really funny tour guide
Quentin is very funny and he has very very good English, you won't have to repeat yourself if you have a question (unlike most of the Lyonnais I met here 😂) Really nice personality with very interesting stories, but Quentin would only touch and go a few places and then he'll encourage you to discover these places on your own time. 2 hours passed by very quickly for me, highly recommended!
