    Excellent tour by an eloquent & charming local French history enthusiast, Francois. We covered he parc Monceau, the Mansion next door and then many other streets contains stunning architecture. Francois added interesting historical commentary and we had a great conversation together. Well worth it.

    Our tour with Dominique was fantastic. We went to parts of Paris off the beaten path and mostly in the 8th arrondissement. We began at the Parc Monceau. We visited the Romantic Museum, Haussmann's statue, and the Augustin Church. Dominique joined us for lunch at our invitation. He is an interesting and knowledgeable guide. You will not be disappointed.

    Francois was very knowledgeable and friendly, and was very comfortable speaking in French as well as English. The tour was interesting and insightful, and his knowledge of French history and culture made it even more so. The walking pace was comfortable and we covered a lot of ground and saw quite a diverse set of sights and buildings. I would recommend this tour to anyone desiring to see a very charming part of Paris.

    Bei der gebuchten Tour war keine feste Anfangszeit angegeben. Man sollte sich telefonisch mit dem Veranstalter in Verbindung setzen, um eine Uhrzeit aus zu machen. Telefonisch war mehrfach niemand erreichbar, so dass wir uns mit Tripadvisor direkt in Verbindung gesetzt haben. Dort wurde uns auch sofort und zielführend weitergeholfen: Tripadvisor hat für uns mit dem Veranstalter die Uhrzeit vereinbart. Nämlich wie von uns gewünscht 10 Uhr. 10 Minuten bevor wir an dem vereinbarten Treffpunkt waren, haben wir eine email bekommen, dass die Tour auf 18.00 Uhr abends verschoben wurde. Am Ende der Tour steht die Besichtugung eines Museums. Da wir Zweifel hatten, dass das Museum so spät noch geöffnet hat und wir abgesehen davon abends andere Pläne hatten, haben wir die Tour abgesagt und sind die angegebene Route eigenständig abgelaufen. Das Museum hätte nicht nur um diese Uhrzeit geschlossen gehabt, sondern war generell an diesem Tag geschlossen. Von Tripadvisor haben wir eine Erstattung in voller Höhe erhalten.
