I booked this for my 18 year old daughter and her friend. They are still abroad but told me it was their best of many terrific experiences in France. The guide told wonderful stories and knew her history tremendously. She was funny and personable. She even offered to extend the tour because everyone was enjoying it so much. My daughter just glowed about it. Thanks so much!
