    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.

    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.

    Peter gave a great orientation to the Latin Quarter. Lots of history! Good restaurant recommendation….La Petit Chatelet. Nice way to start our time in Paris which was focused on Notre Dame!

    I loved this tour! Dana was the perfect guide: knowledgeable, passionate, and full of great stories. As an artist herself, she made me see Paris through a creative lens and shared so many insights about the art, history, and hidden corners of the city. It was a fun and inspiring way to explore and learn more about Paris. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city!
