Napoleon’s Penis! - My wife and 12 year old son took this walking tour and it was amazing. Our guide Linda, an American woman living in Paris, was super friendly and impressively knowledgeable. Obviously she had her structure and talking points but she was like a jazz musician who could take what was given to her and go with it. Case in point, my son asked her about Napoleon having his penis cut off. She was graceful with her answer, informative, and made a joke about it later. Since so much of France’s history is tied to Napoleon it was a great framework to understand the country and its history. I highly recommend this adventure.

Saw nothing - You cancelled the experience and we were not advised. We were travelling through Europe and had no access to phone or email so the only way we would have known would be by your app but we found nothing
