Pascal was an interesting, friendly and knowledgeable guide who tailored our tour to meet our needs and interests. Took us off the beaten path to see some different and surprising parts of Paris.
We were expecting to be part of a larger group, but it was us (3 friends) and Nico. He took care to show us things off the beaten track and was careful to ask about what we wanted to see. Having your own tour guide to yourself was amazing. Nico is a warm and generous hearted, lovely individual and it was a pleasure to walk the streets of Paris with him.
Pascal is amazing! He took us to little known secret spots of Ile de la cite, the Marais and surroundings. He is friendly, warm and knowledgeable- any tour with Pascal will be a treat!
