    Did not work. They said they will help you on the way if there is a problem. We got no help. I don't recommend. Disappointed. Of course, we did not receive a refund.

    The concept was good but when I got there the app would not load for me. Gilbert was patient and tried to walk me through it but it still did not connect. I was pressed for time and told him as much and asked if I was still not able to connect would I be able to get a refund. He said yes and I have not been refunded yet. I texted him twice and still no response. The ticket was not a lot of money so it isn't that big of a deal. I just don't like that he did not respond back one way or the other. Up until that I was satisfied with the customer service and would have given it a better review because connectivity issues happen so I wasn't mad at that at all. Use at your own discretion.

    This was a great way to spend an hour in Montparnasse! The tour took us to lots of interesting spots and provided enough information without it being overwhelming. It was straightforward to follow and good value for money. Would recommend.

    Montmartre district of Paris has been the home of Picasso, Van Gogh, Renoir and Matisse and now, local artists. With cobblestone streets, cafes and Vineyards, artists set up their easels and paint the bohemian lifestyle of Montmartre. It is a district rich with history and you can view the city of Paris from the hill. My client and me walked among the artists and bartered the prices of paintings. The area boasts many restaurants and tours of the apartments once occupied by the most famous artists and their paintings. Who knows, perhaps the paintings of a new artist will emerge and I am posting photos of the works I purchased.
