This was a very good tour into an introduction of the French Revolution. We were initially hesitant about reserving a tour with a low number of reviews, but Fay did a terrific job in keeping the tour interesting and informative. Fay is French born and speaks English exceptional well. I would recommend her tour to Americans interested in learning more on how the French revolution was different than ours in the US. We would do other tours with her if offered.
Fay was a wonderful guide! Very informed (she knows a lot and has good stories) and she was patient with our questions.
Thank you very much Cynthia, I really appreciate. It was a pleasure to exchange around the revolution with you and your daughter :)
This was a great introduction to Paris. If you are interested in history, you will like this tour. You will see quite a few landmarks and learn about their significance in the French Revolution. The tour guide was knowledgeable and very easy to talk too. She also gave us some ideas for things we might not have considered.
Thank you Cheryl for the kind review. I am glad I could help you discover another side of Paris :) maybe see you next time!
Fay was so knowledgeable and engaging! We really enjoyed our tour with her and learned so much. She also gave us obscure highlights and facts that you would not so easily find in history books. My mom, sister, and I had a great time and definitely recommend booking with her!
