This guy sucks and Trip Advisor sucks.

This guy cancelled on me 3 days before the tour was scheduled for and I lost out on the trip advisor “trip cash” I used to cover most of it because it expired a few days ago. So this guy sucks and Trip Advisor sucks.

Very beautiful tour

For our Parisian stay, friends recommended the tour of the passages to us. We were delighted with this tour: the guide was very good (thanks Mattheo😉) From the most well-known to the most picturesque passages… Paris from another angle! We recommend this different approach!

Not was I was expecting.... Way better than it!

Unique experience where you can learn a lot. The guide, Matteo, is AMAZING! He knows so much and it shows that he enjoys what he is doing. The differences between the passages visited allows you to truly get a better understanding of the culture in Paris.

An excellent experience, warm and professional!

We had a great time! The service was warm, attentive and very professional from start to finish. The staff took the time to answer all our questions with a smile and great patience. The setting is nice, clean, and well organized, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. A little more: the personalized advice that allowed us to fully enjoy the experience. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality experience. We will return without hesitation!
