Saint Germain walking tour. - The Saint Germain walking tour with our guide RT was wonderful! Such a beautiful neighborhood, less touristy than central Paris! RT is amazing! She is very knowledgeable with the history of Paris and more! It’s a 1.5 hr tour but she went the extra mile and allowed a longer tour. I love how she points out the must try or see places, and has many suggestions. Love her recommendations. RT even provided her contact number and helped us planned out our remaining days in Paris! That’s going above and beyond! I would recommend anyone booking this tour to request RT as the guide!

Very good tour by Tetiana - Tetiana gave us a very nice tour of the area, with a good mix of cultural/historical, pop culture and 'street smart' explanations and anecdotes. Only thing to improve would be a more thorough introduction mentioning how long she has been in Paris/France and what her academic/educational credentials for this tour are.

Wonderful insights into St Germain. - We visited Paris over Christmas and stayed in the neighborhood. The tour by RT was wonderful. We walked through the neighborhood and her insights were terrific. Went back to several of her recommendations to load up on baguettes, chocolates, and macaroons. Highly recommend this tour even if you are not staying in st. Germain des pres. Thanks RT
