Nice Experience - So let's just say this tour was my wife's idea. We spent a week in Paris and we each chose things we wanted to do. This one was hers. I tagged along, and actually enjoyed it. Ivo was a great guide. He texted me the day of the tour to make sure we knew where to meet him. We met and walked with him for a couple of hours through the fashion district with him sharing the history of haute couture. He was very interesting and personable. My wife loved it and I enjoyed watching her. If fashion is your thing. this is a great tour.

Fabulous fashion - So much interesting history of fashion in Paris and the great fashion houses.
Would have liked to actually go into some stores, especially vintage shops to have a look and feel of the clothing.

Can't imagine a better guide for this tour! - Ivo was right on time and had connected with us by SMS the day before. He was amazingly well educated not only on the history of fashion, but on the psychology and business angles as well. We totally enjoyed what he had to share and the places he showed us and even our two exhausted teenagers appreciated his tour. Two thumbs up!

Don’t waste resources - This was presented that we would learn the background on fashion and shown how to shop vintage. We did none of that. Tremendous waste of time and money. We walked around a few windows of haute couture and he muttered a few things.
