MARK about Giedre Izabele
"My wife and I took the Drinks And Bites Paris Tour on September 17 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM with Giedre. Drinks And Bites is my favorite WithLocals tour because it is an opportunity to just sit and converse with a local after a long day of walking and visiting sights. We really enjoyed chatting with Giedre and relaxing with her well chosen foods and drinks. She is delightful."
