Thor was very detailed and accommodating. He made our trip as easy as pie. He gave us tips ahead, in order for us to avoid scams happening to tourists entering Paris. He also taught us how to use the metro rail system hence, made our trip very manageable. We were able to go to Versailles on our own because of Thor's help. We were able to visit Paris Attractions like locals. We were very happy that we booked a private tour with our guide Thor, it was very helpful for first time travellers in Paris like us. Thank you Thor.

Thor met us at our hotel and asked us what tours we already had scheduled, so we knew how to get to them. He made sure we could utilize the bus, trains and metro. He told us about the culture and how to navigate restaurants. We would have never done as much as we did in Paris without him!
