Fabulous tour - Ivo made the tour relatable and explained the evolution of fashion. Also framed it in a way of understanding the mechanics of fashion, media and history and how they are inexplicably intertwined.

Great unique tour of fashion history of Paris - Tour guide (IVO) was great, he was fun and asked what we wanted to talk about and learn.
Only thing I would change is meeting place as was a bit too difficult to find him!

French fashion and history tour - Best tour we have done. Full of history, information and great stories on fashion and France/Paris. Ivo took us past the fashion houses and explained what makes each house and collection unique. Along with history of the area we were walking through and the famous French designers 2 hours flew by!

The essence of Paris - Every part was wonderful from start to finish. Ivo was knowledgeable, personable and humorous. It was a delightful experience for both my husband and myself. And a part of Paris you could not know without a guide. One of the most enjoyable tours we’ve ever been on. Thank you Ivo.
