Anastasia was prompt, courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, and knows the streets of Paris. She managed our tour time so to not disappoint. It was obvious she is passionate about this job. Her demeanor was as you would enjoy a coffee with her at any of the many cafes. I thoroughly enjoyed this 2 day tour.

The stops were chosen carefully and the information was accurate and in depth. Jonathan did a great job.

Did not realize it was a total walking tour for 2 days for $500.00 plus. It should have said on the "not included portion" that there was no included transportation. It would have been worth the money if it included a driver for some parts but $500.00 was steep to walk around a big city. Our tour guide was Anastasia and she was great and told us the tour was supposed to state in it several times that it was a walking tour only (but it did not). Other than that it was a good tour and we walked over 25,000 steps both days and got to see most of what we wanted to. We had to take a metro to some further out stops. Anastasia gets a 5. The tour itself a 3 since it is not worth the money.

What better way to see Paris than with your own private tour guide? And the guide to get is, Jean. Very professional, humorous, and attentive to the client's request. I had tours scheduled right after my tour with Jean and he made sure I would make it in time for the event. Not many tour guides do that. Most will just end the tour and wish you get luck in catching the next one.

Jean was very kind and knowledgeable. Excellent tour will recommend this one! The experience of walking thru the city and using the metro to connect with the sites is perfect.
