The weather was quite hot when we went, but it just so happened it coincided with a heatwave, so conditions weren't ideal. The chosen sites were great and the guide was very informed. We learned a lot!

Ellen, our guide, had extensive knowledge about the St. Germaine area. Her use of her iPad added extraordinary details. It was a thorough tour of the area’s historic highlights! We enthusiastically recommend Ellen as the expert guide of St. Germaine !

This was an excellent walking tour! We felt like we got so much out of this. Ellen has a well mapped and planned tour including historic photos and info omg an iPad she share with you for reference. Ellen is an American in Paris, 30+ years so her knowledge is epic and she speaks both English and French flawlessly. We definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to Paris.
