Excellent tour. Matteo is a very interesting and pleasant guide. Thank you!
Super walk in both banks of Paris with the discovery of the history of many monuments that at first seem trivial. Thank you for sharing anecdotes and looking forward to redoing other walks.
Matteo is a very friendly and welcoming guide, who made me discover a Paris that was unknown to me: traces of its ancient and medieval past that only an informed eye can perceive. The "remnants" of its past that sometimes blend with the urban landscape of everyday life. I come out delighted 😉
Very interesting, rich visit on ancient and medieval Paris. With a welcoming and warm speaker. Discover!
Superb walk and discovery of the old Paris. Matteo is inexhaustible in architectural commentary and historical knowledge. And moreover he is very friendly and attentive
