"Arranged a. Private tour of Notre Dame months ago with Julien. Communication with him was easy and he always responded timely.
Loved him the moment he walked up to us.
Enthusiastic and so very knowledgeable. We spent 2.5 hours together and could have kept going!
Will hope he is still giving tours when we return.
He is a warm and lovely person. "

Great experience!
"Lucien was great. He was entertaining and so knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the experience and would book again with him! "
"Maxime gave us a wonderful look at the restored Notre Dame. Starting with the exterior we gained an understanding of the Cathedral and how it has changed over time. He knowledge of the sculpture and artwork was impressive. Our group of 4 greatly appreciated the time and effort he put into our tour. Excellent!"
"Lucien was so kind and funny. His instructions for the meeting point were clear and he got there on time. We asked for a tour of Medieval Paris and he did not disappoint. He told engaging stories and shared personal reflections. It was a very cold day for us Spanish people, but he made it delightful and searched out sunny corners so we could take a little sun. Even our cranky 11 year old stayed with attention ! Merci, Lucienn!"
"Romy was an excellent guide. We had a slight miscommunication regarding our meeting point but once we met the tour was excellent. We started at Notre Dame, but she was not allowed to go in with us but she gave us our history lesson outside. She took us to the Latin quarter and showed us all around giving us the history of the area. At the end of the tour, she made us a reservation at a wonderful cafe and we had our own private area. It was a very special day. Thank you Romy! "
"It was a pleasure walking the streets of Paris with Paul. He is very kind and knowledgeable. He graciously postponed to the next day due to our illness. We highly recommend Paul. "
