Jean (Babylon tour guide) was such a wonderful guide. We learned so much history and enjoyed everything about our day. Jean really made the difference. So knowledgeable and very personable. Not sure how I could ever find him but would love him as our guide on the next visit.

We had a great experience with Julien. The pace of the tour was perfect and he showed us many hidden gems of Paris. He shared a lot of history and fun facts as we toured the streets of Paris and while we visited the Louvre. After taking this tour, we were able to plan our next day and revisit some of the same spots on our own. I highly recommend taking this tour - especially with Julien.

Julian was knowledgeable, efficient & professional. He went out of his way to show a couple of ‘senior’ ladies how to get to the Metro!

We had a wonderful day touring with Miriam! She took us around the city and explained so much of Paris history! She was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Then we ate lunch and went to the Louve where she explained so much about the history of the paintings and sculptures!
