Del was great. She had lots of history and tales to tell as we walked through the neighborhood and inside of some historical sites. Experience was way better than expected!

Hristo is a great guide and was very helpful in responding even prior to the trip to finalize the details. I appreciate his detailed knowledge and desire to show the hidden side of Paris that we would have never known otherwise. thank you Hristo

We loved our tour of Monmartre with Pascal. The tour was fun and hit all of the spots where artists lived and painted. We stopped in the area center and bought lovely watercolor pieces to take home. I highly recommend.
