We undertook a number of tours while in Paris and this was one of our favourites. The tour guide, Julie, was incredible and gave excellent and interesting insights on the area, foods and drinks, sharing her love of the area with the rest of us. The food and wine was spectacular and I know that we will be revisiting this area and shops next time we go to Paris.

We had our photo shoot this morning with Alain and he was amazing, he made sure we felt comfortable at all times and helped us get the correct angles for the correct poses, if your coming to Paris for a special occasion would 100% recommend

Julien was our guide and he was amazing! The tour was so much fun! It was the first thing we did after landing and a great jump start to seeing the city! Highly recommend! Julien knew all of the stops to take great photos of us!

Highly recommend, was beautiful scenery. Lovely little shops and cafes along the way. Just pop your head phones in and explore at your own pace
