Walking tours in Paris- well worth it!

Mar 15 - Mar 19, 2025
We are big fans of walking tours. In Paris, we did a French Revolution tour, Sebastian was great and interactive. I have a better understanding of timelines and how it shaped modern Paris. The Wine and Cheese tasting was intimate and delicious. We learned the French way of wine tasting and tried red and white in different regions. Also, watched Parisians come in and choose wines for their evening. The Notre Dame and Sainte Chappelle tour was rich in history, architecture and interesting stories. We would have missed 90% what was there without an educated guide. The same goes for the tour of Palais Garnier, deep in beautiful and layered architecture, stories and history.
Liz planned our activities so that we didn’t waste time in our few days there. It was an active, relaxing romp around Paris.
Hotel Review
Great staff, lobby and breakfast. Rooms are clean and beds were firm and comfortable. We slept great facing the courtyard. Metro and restaurants were good near the hotel too.

We enjoyed visiting this new area of Paris. It’s an intimate gathering where you can ask questions and experience wines from different regions of France. Very memorable and fun
Sebastian was a great guide! We finished with a good upstanding of the timeline, where it started and who was there (don’t want to give away the surprises). It’s an easy walk and he was good with engaging the 15 year old in our group. Good for history buffs and always good to have a chance to talk with locals.
I am so glad you had a great trip. I always looked forward to our trip calls. I am so happy you enjoyed the Palais Garnier; it's magnificent. The Notre Dame and Saint Chappelle have so many characteristics that would go unnoticed if not for a guide providing you with the history behind the inspiration of the buildings. I am happy you felt the same way. Now, the French Rivieria is calling you! When you're ready to escape the cold up north, the Cote D'Zur ⛱️🌊👙awaits. I would... Read more
