My family and I had an amazing experience with our guide Anya! Extremely knowledgeable, professional historian and cordial, Anya took us to a great journey in the history of France, Paris and Napoleon's life. Strongly recommend this guided tour. There were so many parts of history to be further discovered that I would gladly repeat the tour when I am back to Paris.
Also recommend to combine the tour with a visit to les Invalides with the same guide to see artefacts of Napoleon and France after the Revolution.
Thank you, Anya !

This tour was 'a dream come' true!
The tour on of its own was a very interesting topic, but furthermore our tour guide, Mr. Olivier was the one who made it a dream come true. He was so well informed on all aspects of the tour. Not to mention that he was so patient in answering the hundreds of questions we made of topic. He was kind, generous and explained everything clearly. This tour is a must see in Paris. We are looking forward going to other tours with Mr. Olivier such as Versailles, louvre, among others
