Great Overview of the Cory! - We were only in Paris 2 days, so we wanted to see as much as possible. Ewan was very informative. He took us to all the major sites and allowed time to stop for coffee and snacks, explore and take pictures.

Paris Unveiled: A Laid-Back Adventure with Black Cat Tours - So, imagine this: my inaugural trip to Paris, just me and my eagerness to soak up every ounce of its charm. Black Cat Tours' "Le Grand Tour - Over 30 of the Top Sights of Paris" became my ultimate Parisian adventure, and let me tell you, it didn't disappoint. Starting off in Montmartre and strolling our way to Notre Dame, every step felt like a casual jaunt with friends, not some cookie-cutter tour. What I appreciated most was Black Cat Tours' focus on quality over quantity. With a smaller group of just 10, we could all savor the experience, soaking in Ewan's insights without feeling rushed. And speaking of Ewan, he was the real MVP. His knowledge of Paris went beyond the guidebook, peppering our journey with tidbits of history and hidden gems. Plus, he had a knack for customizing the experience. Craving a coffee break or a picturesque detour? He had us covered. What really stood out was Ewan's dedication to crafting unique experiences. His mention of a forthcoming World War tour had me hooked, already planning my return. And when it comes to bang for your buck, Black Cat Tours nails it. Six stars out of five – they've earned every single one.

Paris in a day - Throughly enjoyed our walking tour seeing all the main attractions today. Ewan had a vast knowledge of the history of Paris which kept us entertained and interested all day, he also managed to navigate us through the city seeing all the sites, in between showers of rain, with ease. Highly recommend this tour if you are only in Paris for a short time like we were.
