We had a room issues when we arrived on the property in Paris on our first day that we booked through booking.con . And Victor stayed and tried to help us to find us new property. He also gave us a ride to the airport when we returned. He made our trip more enjoyable.

Walking tour about Napoleon.

I enjoyed this walking tour as I could go at my own pace - which is a little slower than most people’s paces. I was able to pause the audio if I needed to buy a water, snack, or use the WC. The information was very informative and gave me a more personalized view of Napoleon. My only recommendation is not to do this on a very hot day.
