Very interesting and fun tour. 2011-09-14 Christina M. F , Lots of interesting sites. Our guide was quite informative and entertaining 2011-08-30 kcarroll38 , This was a fabulous tour and I highly recommend it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very accomodating when I had to find a bathroom. The only issue was finding him. We went to the bridge where it said to meet and we expected to see a sign, or a large group, but didn't see either. We waited about 15 minutes and were just about to leave when we noticed a guy standing in the middle of the bridge put his hand up and he was holding a brochure. He only had one other gal with him so it looked like they were just a couple sight seeing. I'm really glad my husband saw him cause the tour was great. My only suggestion would be for the guide to have a sign, even if it's small, so people know where to find him. Besides that, FABULOUS! 2011-07-27 Jennifer B , My husband truly enjoy this tour. He felt that the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and told the stories of each sight very well. He would take this tour again and highly recommends it for everyone. 2011-07-10 Our Anniversary Trip , USA Really found this fascinating. Our tour guide was excellent and really knew his history.

It had more meaning when I could acutally see the places while hearing the story. 2010-08-19 Margaret C , We had a nice small group, great weather, and John Paul was an excellent guide. After this tour, I'm certain I won't walk past key buildings or monuments without remembering the 1940-44 occupation of Paris. 2010-04-05 Ed F, United States of America We had a nice small group, great weather, and John Paul was an excellent guide.
