A wonderful tour

All praise goes to our guide. We had a wonderful tour of this ancient Roman part of the city and learned a lot. The guide was friendly and attentive. We give her a 10 out of 10!

Un paris nunca antes visto

Conoci una historia de Paris que realmente no imaginaba, desde la edad media hasta el dia de hoy. La conergerie me sorprendio mucho y toda la historia detras de esos muros. Estoy muy feliz de haber elegido este tour ya que sale de lo habitual, es muy educativo y a la vez te sorprende al hacerte imaginar como la historia ocurrio por los lugares que uno va recorriendo.
