Paris for history geeks

Alexandra hosted the tour and was wonderful in her pace and descriptions. I would highly recommend her and Headout for purchasing Eiffel Tower tours.

A beautiful experience to do at the Arc de Triomphe. We were stunned when we were told there were 200 steps to climb. Your site is not working, unable to send.

Our guide was very good. In fact she was excellent. She knew all the interesting facts, but didn't bombard us with too many dates, all of which I've forgotten by the time I get to the end of the tour!. She answered any questions with great humour & understood the politics of both us Brits & our American tour companions, without getting drawn in too deep! 😂 The only issue was the initial meeting was a little "spontaneous " as there was no obvious sign for a dumb tourist to spot! 😂

Juan, who guided us through the palace and was attentive to the entire group, was wonderful. His way of telling the history was very good.

This tour was both special & unexpected! We thought we were going to be taken straight into the house and gardens but no, we were taken round the village, to the church and told all about Monet's life, his family, how he bought the house and so on. The tour guide was funny and engaging and obviously took a great deal of pleasure in her tour groups. The only downside was by the time we got inside the gardens we were in need of coffee and a sit down. Our guide had indeed asked if we wanted to get a coffee but we didn't wish to stop the tour and had no idea if we were allowed to take drinks inside - we should've asked more questions! Many thanks to Marianne for a super tour (apologies if name is spelt wrongly) Unfortunately my husband could not get any reception on his phone but has agreed with all the above and would love to return. Well done - good job.

I was so excited about coming to the catacombs during my trip to Paris. It ended up being even better than i could've imagined. So many bones and so much history hidden below Paris.

SuperB girl guide, a lot of interesting information about the place, its history and the tournament, although visititing limited only to terrain outside tha main court, one outside court and of course Philippe Chatrier Court, visiting with the guide takes about 1,5h, after that shopping in Roland Garros oficial shop :)

Great shows, full of surprises. If you want to wacht them all, you need surely 2 days. Shows nr1 to nr 8 are the bigger ones you do not want to miss. Bring some food and drink along, enjoy them while waiting for the show, if you like me, want to wacht the most of them, you have really no time to eat and drink in the restaurants.
