Fascinating Tour!

Marie_B, May 2025
It’s an immense museum chock full of history and having a guide who prioritizes your interests is essential. Romain was an excellent guide, extremely knowledgeable and very helpful.

Great guide!

Romain was a fantastic guide for our tour of Napoleon’s tomb and very knowledgeable on WW1 history for the rest of our tour. Highly recommended!

Great tour guide

Alex_G, Jul 2024
Our tour guide Florian was great. It was supposed to be a semi-private tour, but it ended up being just my family of four. A lot of these tours in Paris do seem overpriced to me for what they are, but we enjoyed our time and got to see a lot. Eiffel Tower, I have booked multiple tours through Viator in Paris, and again they all seem very pricey to me, but without the guide, you would learn a lot less history and not always know the best things to go see. No

Horrible Les Invalides Museum Tour

Bermily_M, Mar 2024
A bad tour guide can make your experience very disappointing. Our tour guide did not engage with the group, didn’t show us the displays with enthusiasm nor explained the museum as we were expecting for the amount of money that we paid for this semi-private (8ppl tour).

History Buff Must See

Maureen_B, Aug 2023
Details of French history given by our tour guide of events leading up to WWI; the magnificent building and Napoleon’s tomb As well as a little cafe across the street from the building where we spent some time before our tour began Beautiful!
