Great walking tour with RT - Great walking tour. Loved hearing all the history of the neighborhood and buildings. Our guide RT was very knowledgeable about things old and new in the area. We had a great group and it was well worth the time. So much better than going alone. We would definitely book with her again.

Awesome street walking tour - RT was amazing, I leanered a lot of the hidden history and stories of the little shop, alley way. It was nice to see where Jean-Paul-Satre and Simon de-Beauvoir use to sit together with all the intellectuals
