This tour was good. The guide spoke about the architecture of the buildings and pointed out key things His passion and information on the history of Paris and the buildings was great. He was funny and I enjoyed the tour. He was happy to answer all questions and give recommendations in the city for restaurants, sights, transport etc
Keara was a great host! She was incredibly knowledgeable, very enthusiastic and a great tour guide. She allowed for questions knew all the answers and made the tour fun.
It’s very good to begin with your trip to Paris. The tour guide was very friendly and kind, and the highlights were great
This tour was full of interesting history, stories, ant facts about present day Paris. We took it our first day and it was a great introduction to the city. Our guide was new to this tour format but did a great job. We were grateful that he has a mic so we could hear him well.
I booked with Sandemans because in other cities they have a limit of 15 people per group, not in Paris. Group grew to around 30 people which is way too many. Apparently this is normal. You are probably better to choose one of the paid for tours with a limit in people.
This is the second SANDEMAN walking tour I have done and both were fabulous. Keara was the best guide! Super knowledgeable and charismatic with a great attitude. Easy to understand and fun! Could listen to her talk all day! So happy with my experience.
Very good the guide. We don't remember his name, we know he was born in Peru. Nice to meet you. We recommend
It's been 9 months and our family STILL talks about how awesome Ezrah was. And, for reference, we're one of THOSE families that got a rail pass and went to several different cities during our trip. We did guided walking tours in each city we visited and Ezrah is the only guide we remember by name and also the only one we still talk about. I gotta warn you though- reserve your judgement about him until the end of the tour- because when he started out with his Colorado accent, I was ready to be disappointed because he wasn't native French. In fact, I felt so guilty about dreading the tour with him that I bought him some snacks and a water to make up for me being judgy. Boy was I totally wrong. Ezrah was an absolute star. I had my wife and 5 kids with me and he was the most incredible guide we've ever met. So Ezrah, if you read this- Tony and his family from Washington all think you're a superstar and you totally made our vacation incredibly special and created some memories that will last forever.
I love to walk over here at sunset because the place have a good aura and gave me positive energy and I can take a breath with la Scène
We enjoyed Ezrah’s tour, he is knowledgeable and engaging. Good timing despite the weather. We recommend. Many thanks
