Audio guides suck, A person is worth the cost - My wife and I ended up being the only people that booked the max 8 people so it ended up being a private tour. Our guide was Florian and he did a great job. Lots of information and cool stories. The weather was questionable, so the morning of the tour Florian changed the meeting place to a cafe accross the street so no one was waiting out in the rain. Communication through the text was great and easy to follow. We would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Florian for your time and knowledge.

He’s a Pro!! - Michele did an outstanding job. Very knowledgeable and personable! His English was excellent. Helps out that he has a degree in history and is a self professed history nerd.

Truly and excellent guide for a special place in Paris. - As a professional historian I was really looking forward to our tour of Les Invalides and it didn't disappoint. Michele was a truly excellent guide. He went very in depth and we were able to discuss all sorts of historical issues about Louis XIV and Napoleon. He spent as much time as we needed and the interplay was truly fantastic. He is a marvelous guide who made an experience we were really looking forward to really something special. Highly recommended.
