FABULOUS TOUR HIGHLIGHT OF MY TRIP - The tour with Loik was absolutely fantastic ! It was precisely what I had in mind when I booked it. I was looking for an expert with a deep understanding of the area's history and knowledge of good pastries, and Loik, our guide, surpassed all those expectations ! The assortment and quality of the pastries we visited were first-rate. While enjoying those delightful treats, I gained so much insight into the history, culture, and art of Montmartre and Paris. Loik was approachable and very easy to connect with. The tour struck the perfect balance between delicious food, engaging conversation and education. Truly the best tour I've been on in Paris.
