Louise was terrific! She created a great tour for us, providing insight and history to the neighborhoods we walked. We saw some wonderful, historic buildings we never would have seen otherwise. Louise was happy to answer any questions, and it was obvious her love for this area of Paris. We tried some delicious food and had great conversation. If you are looking for a quieter, customized tour, I would definitely book. My family loved it!
