Fashion experience
I have used this site for several tours and all of the guides were amazing and I completely enjoyed my experiences. The problem is that because the guides are hired by a larger company, when there have been problems it is difficult to resolve the issues and you may pay more or double until you can “fix” it.

Terrible, tour cancelled at 1:00 am.
At 1:00 am you sent me an email canceling today’s tour. We were on our way to the meeting spot when l saw the email. My daughter and l were very disappointed as this is our last day in Paris. If l had known last night l would have reserved another tour to see Notre Dame.

A wonderful tour that...
A wonderful tour that covers the history of fashion in Paris up to today. Vlad, our guide, is a fountain of knowledge and answered all of our questions. The tour was well structured and organised and you get to see how fashion helped shape the capital to what it is today. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about fashion and try something a bit different to the usual 'historical' tours.

Informative and interesting - would highly recommend
Lots of interesting facts - from design trends to the commercial side of the fashion industry. It was part of a birthday treat for my 13 year old fashion-forward daughter - and I was impressed that our guide, Slava, had stories and anecdotes for both ends of the age and interest spectrum. He incorporated little detours as he got to know our interests better, so it felt very personalised. And because he’s so well informed generally, it also served as a mini-history guide for the City. Highly recommend.
