Ask for Duc (Dee) He's a hoot!
Our guide Duc (Dee?) was the consumate professional! Informative, engaging and FUN all rolled into one! He was knowledgeable enough to explore more detail in certain areas we visited and sort of tailored the tour to the group which made us all much more engaged in each other than a simple, go here, see that, take a photo type tour...... It was lots of fun, and given we ended at the Market, there was an opportunity to return to different places, or he kindly offered recommendations/directions if we choose to depart from that location..... Certainly happy, certainly recommended!! THANK YOU for having us!!
Operator response
Dear Adam Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a fun and engaging experience with our guide, Duc. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on another tour soon! Best Regards David

Half day tour
It was pretty well done. Notre Dame Cathedral has been under renovation for seven years, yet the tour still lists it and says admission is included, but it's closed to tourists. All other stops were educational/ historically significant and there were good details provided.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience. We appreciate it. Notre Dame Cathedral is clearly marked as under construction and is not included in the tour. However It can be added as a complimentary extra!
